Today was ‘one of those days’…you know how it goes…what can go wrong, does!
Anyone else?
I finished work around 9 and I technically should have been sweating it out on the treadmill, but instead I was enjoying one of the finer things in life…
It is a simple equation:
The new couch + alcohol + Gossip Girl = Pure Bliss

I call this mixture a Twisted Screw…a Screwdriver with a twist, of course!
Ingredients:
- OJ
- POM juice
- Vodka
- Frozen strawberries
- Frozen pineapple

Oh dear me. This was just a delight. I felt like a million bucks.
Sometimes, it is perfectly ok to just take the ‘unhealthy’ route and chill out! I forgot how fun a carefree night could be.
Don’t worry, the treadmill will be there tomorrow…it always is…
Do you ever just bail on your healthy intentions for some much needed R & R?
It took me a long time to realize that a healthy lifestyle COULD and SHOULD include times when you divert off your planned route. Sometimes, all I need is to just forget about what I should be doing, and just do what I want to do.

Sketchie is meowing on the stairs for me to play with him. I have to pretend like I don’t see him hiding under the plastic tarp and then he runs along the stairs to scare me. LOL.



What would we do without our beloved animals?

That drink looks great! I’ll have to try it out this weekend.
Actually, I’m bailing on my healthy lifestyle tonight!! Sometimes I love sweating out a bad day, but today I just felt like I needed to chill. I’m sure my body is actually happier for it too. It needs the rest :) I have a date with the treadmill bright and early tomorrow though… that thing sure can’t take a hint :P
Aww!! Sketchie is too cute! I love all the pictures you post of him. Animals make life so much more fun dont they? I dont know what I’d do without my dog – the whole house revolves around her, and I wouldnt have it any other way.
Gossip Girl is the PERFECT reason to skip a run and sip vodka!
I am allergic to cats but Sketchie steals my heart everytime you post his pics :)
That drink sounds delish! I think diverting a every once in a while is necessary. For example, tonight I had way too many brownies(not really a lot but I didn’t need to eat all I did! I also had some sweets at school since it was my last day. I needed it, and tomorrow I will get back to eating a whole lot better! It’s good for the soul to treat yourself every once in a while!
