Sugar Doll Award

Leslie at Life in it's Ordinary Form gave me a blog award! Thank you! Leslie is a new blogger and she has such a cute blog! I love reading her posts and I'm looking forward to more great things from her!

So here are the rules for this award:

Thank the person who gave it to you, share ten things about yourself, then pass the award on to ten bloggers you've recently discovered and let them know you gave them an award!

Here goes!

1. I love the Florida Gators. It's actually hard to describe how much I love my Gators. I watch every game, follow them on Twitter, read articles, I can't get enough. I CANNOT WAIT until football season just so I can go to The Swamp.

2. Like Leslie, I am addicted to Twitter. I love it and I probably check Twitter a couple times an hour. It's sick.

3. I'm addicted to M&Ms...I eat them every day

4. I love the beach all times of days. I run on it in the morning, lay out on it during the day, and walk on it at night. It's both energizing and relaxing if that makes any sense!

5. I like big vehicles. I have driven a Pilot and a Sorento...next on my list is a Tahoe!

6. I am a complete Charlotte from Sex and the City in every way

7. I LOVE to tailgate. I just love everything about football season.

8. I'm pretty crafty. I can decorate cards, ornaments, cowbells, canvases, etc.

9. I would say 75% of my wardrobe is JCrew. The rest is Gators and State shirts! Haha!

10. I am a chemical engineering grad student at Mississippi State...a Gator Girl in Cowbell Country! Good thing I love my cowbell and the dawgs too!

I pass this award on to:

1. Ally at He's Got the whole world in His hands

2. Ashlyn at Miss Magnolia

3. Gracie Beth at The Engineer in Heels and Pearls

4. Ally at The Cure for Writer's Block

5. Charlotte at The Charlotte Observer

6. Meg at Sunshine and Cool Breezes

7. Summer Wind

8. Caroline at This is My Story, This is My Song

Thanks again Leslie for the award!!

I'm on my way to Florida tomorrow so look out for my "What's in my beach bag?" post up soon!

TGIF Y'all!

Hi my name is Ashley, and I'm an M&M-popsicle-crystal light-aholic

Happy Thursday everyone! So for the past few weeks, I've been trying to be really good with eating and working out. I'm going to Florida next week so I want to look as good as possible for the time being in my bathing suit, plus I really want to lose the weight I put on this past year (dang grad school!). I've been doing all the right things-eating right, working out, and counting calories really helps me out too. But in the process of trying to find healthy snacks, I've developed addictions (haha!)

Here is one of my addictions:

Sugar free tropical popsicles. At only 15 calories a popsicle, they are delicious and cool me off during the hot Mississippi summer! I however, cannot eat just one. I probably eat 4 a day. Only 60 calories, so it's not bad...but still? 4 a day?! Get it together Ashley.

My next addiction is to Crystal Light Raspberry Lemonade.
I've been told by everyone from Bob Harper to my mom that drinking lots of water helps in weight loss. Plain water is kinda boring though...so I decided to add some Crystal Light Raspberry Lemonade On-The-Go's to my water bottles. And then I decided to make it in a pitcher to keep in the fridge and drink after work. And that's how this addiction was born. I probably drink a gallon of the stuff a day.

And last but definitely the worst addiction I have is...

M&M's!

I LOVE M&M's. Any kind. Peanut, peanut butter, plain, almond...anything. I cannot go a day without eating M&M's. I've managed to factor them into my diet by counting them out and accounting for their calories...but still. I need them every day. I love them.

My favorite M&M's of all time. Dark chocolate M&M's. The dark chocolate peanut ones are even better. The beginning of my addiction starts with these.
Coconut M&M's. Has anyone tried these? My mom found these a few months back and sent some to me. Problem. Now I'm addicted to them.
Last but not least...pretzel M&M's...the magical combination of chocolate covered pretzels and my beloved M&M's...also so addicting. Someone come pry them out of my hands.

My desk at work...I told y'all! :)

Almost Friday!!

Later y'all!
