look at that!

remember when my legs looked like this in my leggings?

is it bad that all i can think about it getting my legs back to being skinny once i am home? whoops. that's what happens when you become a health nut! 


sheesh. get my mind onto something else! 

i may...

i may or may not have just indulged in this ice cream!! 

breyer's makes phenom ice cream anyway... so to add waffle cone AND hershey's semi-sweet baby chips is just crazy. try it, i tell you. 

to go along with my "healthy" eating, i had this oven-cooked rosemary chicken today for lunch. 

very tasty, and easy might i add! try that too. 

last week, i hiked the Y with my parents (and the byu athletic department, me and shar were the only ones NOT a.d. oh well). it was a little chilly, then it was a lotta chilly and snowy at the top. not pleasant, but fun nonetheless. 

loving this app on my phone that takes "polaroids".

taylor (yes THIS taylor) and i decided to run to gold's gym, then work out at gold's gym, then bum a ride home from willie cause we would be tired to run back, he he he. the run was approximately 2.6 miles. it was a good little run. then we worked our butts off while we were there. 

side note: i am loving zumba and pilates at gold's. and we recently tried out the dirty dancing class. it wasn't really that dirty so don't judge us! 

i have been trying really hard the past few months to get in shape and stay there.. it's been a challenge, but i am pleased and i feel great! dedication is hard, in all aspects of life! some days, i am tired or whatever the excuse may be, but i think of the outcome and i go to the gym anyway. i understand that my body won't be petite and tiny, but i am proud of the hard work i've put in and what has come of it! like my friend, whitney, i would love to run a half marathon. but that won't be happening this summer because i will be eating away my hard work of the past few months. just kidding, i will stay on track! you all can live vicariously through me and my travels ;)

enough posts for now. i just can't believe how fast the time is going! san diego next week, then 3 more weeks before i am on to the land of the irish. i am excited, nervous, scared, and feeling adventurous. it will be amazing to say the least.
