Crunchy & Crispy

Hey Happy Wednesday! If you're new around here head over to Jenn's blog and join in on the What I Ate Wednesday Party.

And I did alot of eating yesterday. See for yourself.

Breakfast was a very peanut butter one yesterday! I had my usual overnight oats, but added way too much peanut butter to the mix. So every bite had a TON of peanut butter...I'm not complaining ;)

Sandwiches are my favorite thing lately. Maybe because I'll go months without eating them and then eat them everyday. Check out how big this baby was!

Tomatoes, lettuce, no salt deli turkey, and everything hummus were stuffed into this bad boy. So tasty!

My stomach started grumbling in the afternoon so frozen fruit was my snack yesterday. I defrosted some blackberries, raspberries, blueberries, and cherries in the microwave. Love how convenient frozen bags are.

The Green Ball is Dead

Oh man it was so hard getting out of bed yesterday morning. Mix howling wind and pouring rain together, and Ashley just wants to lounge in bed all day.

But, I forced myself to the gym for quad day. Let's put it this way- I survived haha. Quads are probably my least favorite muscle to train and I have zero motivation for it. UGHHH, soon enough shorts weather will be here. <----That can be my motivation.

Since my house gets extremely drafty when the wind gets intense, I was freeeezing. Naturally, lunch ended up being comfort food at its finest. Sweet tomato soup with basil. This stuff is good!

Things Making Me Happy

Hey Hey.
Yippppppeee. It is the official start to the weekend and it feels glorious.

And holy moley excitement on the What's in my Purse post!!!

Honestly, I didn't even think it would be that popular. I'm glad you guys liked it. I was talking to my boyfriend about all the feedback from it, and he said "people want to see things they can relate to". His words got stuck in my head last night. It rings true for me that I feel like I know a blogger well, when I see they're human. It is very easy to read blogs and see their perfect life filled with a charming husband, toned body & abs, and healthy meals 24/7.  

Friday Favorites

Happy February!

Cheers to sleeping in and relaxing this weekend :)

First, I want to say thank you for reading! I started the blog a week ago and have had more than 300 views. This is craziness!!You guys are the best <3

Last night I finally caved and made a twitter. Chat with me friends @LifeAndFitByAsh

Here's some of my Friday Favorites from the week:

Tea! Crazy right?! I don't know what came over me this week since I'm a HUGE coffee lover, but I'm been loving the tea this week. Especially the orange spicy one. On Monday I brought a tea to work in this to-go cup & it is seriously the best hot cup. EVER. My tea actually burned my lips because I was not expecting my tea to be hot four hours later. 

A sparkly top & two necklaces. There is one trend I can't get enough of the past couple of weeks, and that is layering necklaces.

This week was just kind of gloomy all around. I'm blaming it on the weather. So my fortune cookie was a good little pick me up. Perfect for days when you are being your toughest critic.

 New snacks!!! Super excited because they were delicious and cheap. Only $2.50 on sale last week, which is an outright steal for gluten free crackers. I put a couple of these in my cart thinking they would last awhile. The boyfriend already ate half a box on me. Womp womp.

My favorite Valentine's Day card. I buy it every year haha. I'm sure my family is not surprised when they open it, but it's too cute to pass up.

 
Also, the puppy has been under the weather this week. :(
We thought she was getting better after her allergic reaction to the Chinese dumpling, but it seems to still be affecting her. Send her some love in your thoughts today. <3
