So far my new place (and roommates) are amazing! Last night was Taco Tuesday, and I would never miss an opportunity to get cheap tacos and drinks on a school night. I am usually all about ground beef or chicken and maybe sometimes
carne asada tacos, but I introduced myself to grilled shrimp tacos and was pleasantly surprised! I will definitely be trying those out at home this weekend :)
Now that I actually have my own kitchen, I've been cooking all of my meals and putting my chef specialties up to the test. I'm really liking the Spicy Chicken with veggies that I've now had for 3 days in a row. I'm excited for Ground Turkey/Potato tacos that I will venture to try on Friday.
My roommate, Kendra, and I go to school together and we have a beach day on the 26
th to cut hair for locals and to raise money for a good cause. Since it will still be bathing suit weather (side note: I don't think it will ever NOT be bathing suit weather here by the way...) we want to make sure we are extra fit! I am not a fan of working out, and I've even started the P90X work out with my friend Sarah, but I was proud of us today. We were at the gym for 2 hours, and not just lolly-gagging around, actually working my ass off (possibly literally). Beach day here we come!
Tomorrow is the first preseason game for the NFL and after school I'm meeting Sarah at the beach for more chances to be tan, and then off to the local hangouts for the game.
SOOO excited for football to begin again. Off to shower from the gym, and take notes for our theory exam on Friday (I know, theory in
cosmetology school sounds lame, but it's actually pretty interesting).

After checking out
confessionsofanenginerd blog on how sweets are the little bit of devil in all of us, it reminded me of my own demons. Since moving to Cali, and even about the month before, I've been in work out mode constantly. I have also tried to eat better, even giving up the ever glorious dessert. I think candy was the hardest part... for some reason I can't even get enough sour candy, even when my taste buds go numb. I also joined 24 hour fitness and have definitely gone EVERYDAY (I'm impressed myself) and you get one free training session and a nutrition layout from one of their trainers when you sign up. I decided to get my nutrition layout today and figured my good eating would be exactly what I need to stay trim. I was wrong, on so many levels.
There is one thing I will never give up, and that was one of the biggest things on the "No list". NO ALCOHOL! So this seems like I'm an alcoholic, which at times I may walk a thin line, but I love just sitting out in my pool or our patio and sipping on the deliciousness of summer. Also my favorite time of day will go to a waste, how can you do a Happy Hour without being Happy? My aunt and I have come up with so many awesome fresh fruit
mojitos & margaritas. How can I possibly give that up?! The trainer said that I shouldn't have more than 2 drinks a night, only once or twice a week. Once I start school, that will probably seem more realistic, but
wtf. I think I'd rather be fat on some sort of level.

I have a goal. I will have a rockin' bod by the end of June. Now I wish I could have one by tomorrow, but I'm going to try and be realistic. This is not just something I've come up with, and I am aware of what I will look like next to the California Bombshells already (help me God), but so far I look the same after working out for months. Except I can run a lot farther than before.
I figure I will just run myself silly & do the p90x that my friend Savannah told me about. Thank goodness for Limewire, because I am downloading those asap, for free. I am constantly stealing music from that bad boy, and could possibly be outing myself to the CIA as we speak. But I love it. Supposedly, Demi Moore is all about p90x too... haha. And I will not even touch a dessert. Goodbye my sweet tooth, bring me a bowl of fruit! Alright, well maybe ONCE a week. This may sound durastic, but this planet surrounding my core is durastic as well. Soon I will be beach bound and looking smokin' like Alessandra Ambrosio (Minus the belly ring, so 5 years ago).
