Happy New Year's Eve baby

This past weekend was my birthday. Sometimes I forget how old I am, but I swear I'm not even that old! I just want to be forever 21 and have older people envy me for my youth and the 'carefree' days.

So my best friends from norcal came down to celebrate with me and one of them I haven't seen since late July. What the, that's all from Insanity? Girl you're too tiny now. 
He swears I used to be a whale -___-.. but he's really being dramatic Haha because I still fit my clothes (tops s/m and bottoms 0-5) just a little less filled, however.. both a good and bad thing.

Here's the most recent picture of me from my birthday; it doesn't showcase my figure too much but that's the best I have of that night. I've actually gained 5 pounds from the lowest I've surprisingly gotten. Let it be muscles? These days I don't even look at the scale, because the best measurement of your health is your mentality and how you feel in the morning. I also get a little discouraged seeing the scale go up or stay at a plateau even though it really should be a good sign because I am not gaining fat, but gaining strength. However, I believe we're ingrained with the nonsense that bigger numbers on the scale is never good (girls' perspective right?). One day at a time, ladies. Having a good night's rest after a good, decent workout almost always guarantees for a refreshing wake up and that is all that really matters: To be happy and ready for the day.

haha wow today I spent quite a bit of time on Pinterest organizing my old likes and boards. It's one of those sites that really suck up your time because you invested so many things you want to save for a future project or for your future in general. But the one disadvantage is that I've collected so many things that I pinned to look at later, which I have forgotten. I want to kind of get into a habit of looking back at them (while not wasting too much time) and bringing them out into action. Monday Breakfast: Banana, cinnamon, honey Lunch: Chopped Thai chicken salad   http://pinchofyum.com/chopped-thai-chicken-salad Dinner: Chicken, egg, cranberries, apples, nuts, onions, greek yogurt salad eat with veggies Tuesday Breakfast: Omelette wrap omelette wrap Lunch: salmon with yu choy inspirations..

One thing good about having gone to a small private school was that... everyone knew of each other, or at least recognized their faces. Obviously, that could also be a huge disadvantage. But being an alumni means that we have this small yet strong connection of 'networking' and when you bump into someone from your school, it's not that strange to hang out with each other even though back in school the only contact we might've had was taking a course together or bumping into each other at a social gathering. Well that isn't really the case here because I'm close to these awesome ladies here and Mr. Canada (let's call him that) was my ex-roommate's big so we're all interconnected and I have fond, fun memories with him from my undergrad years. hokay.. that was a slight tangent, my bad FRIDAY Anyways, I haven't seen Anabelle and Lexi in a while so through their beckoning I answered their call and sang/drove my way down to SD. I first meet up

Break free from it though! I want those abs and a booty! It's still spring so there's still plenty of time to sculpt :)
