1. Cared About What I Wore to Work
I work in a very casual office, the ambient temperature in which is the approximate equivalent to that of a meat locker. I have to bundle up in a hoodie and/or sweater, wear fingerless gloves, and use an electric blanket on my lap (I wish I was kidding). Needless to say, knowing that I'm going to be bundled up like a snowboarder anyway, it's really easy to get sucked into wearing a ponytail, jeans, and a tee-shirt every day. But since I got my super chic haircut this weekend, I decided to try to look cuter than usual. That's right: I put on makeup. I also put together this snappy outfit on Polyvore and tried to recreate it with items in my own closet.
2. Tea at Lunch
I went with the girls to Starbucks on our lunch break. Normally, I get a tall skinny mocha, but even that has about 110 calories, caffeine, and sugar. So, today, I just got a tall passion tea, unsweetened. Delicious and hydrating. And we won't dwell on the two cups of coffee I had back at the office...
3. Spaced Out My Fruit Consumption
I read this article the other day that says you shouldn't eat fruit within a couple hours of eating other foods because it can cause digestion issues. This actually seems like a pretty tedious and unrealistic routine to get into, but I attempted it today. We'll see if I can keep it up.

4. Filled Up on a Healthy Smoothie
We had pizza for dinner. I'm trying to make healthier alterations to our normal routine because I think it's more realistic and easier to maintain. So instead of saying no to pizza, I had one piece and filled up on a smoothie made with a banana, almond milk, and chia seeds beforehand. Oh, and I remained meatless.
5. Trip to Lowe's for Laundry Room Trim
We went to Lowe's and picked up the top and corner molding we're going to use in the laundry room! Yay!
