Weekend Update!

This past weekend, I went to visit my friends in Philadelphia! I had THE best time. I always wish I still went to school there, I miss it like crazy. So, I had all these great plans to do the P90X videos with my friend Paula, but it never happened, so I didn’t exercise Saturday, Sunday, or Monday. I wish I had worked out one of those days, but oh well! On Saturday, I got my nose pierced (SO SCARY AND PAINFUL) and celebrated my friend RJ’s 21st birthday!

 

This is my soulmate Paula! I always stay with her (in our sorority’s house) when I’m in town and I miss her so so much! While I was there she bought plane tickets to come see me when I move to Indiana.

These are a few of my sisters plus a couple of Delta Chi photobombers out in Philly, my first bar there since turning 21! Too wild.

AND THIS IS MY NOSE RING! It hurt SO SO bad and I was SO SO scared but I love it SO SO much! Honestly, it scared me/hurt more than my tattoo but I just LOVE it! I’m so happy I did it…I went to South Street in Philadelphia with 12 of my sisters and about half of us got piercings together! It was amazing. 

The only crappy thing about the weekend was my eating. Saturday wasn’t too bad, I stayed away from gluten and didn’t eat too much. Sunday, however, things COMPLETELY fell apart. I had two (who am I kidding, I definitely had three) cookies FULL of sugar and gluten and then I ate a sandwich that Paula suggested from Wawa that was DELICIOUS but TERRIBLE for me. Plus some other gluten-free items that were not healthy in any way and just went against everything I’ve been putting in my body for the past few months. Well, my body was extremely pissed off at me and reacted harshly and violently in the form of a lot of heartburn and a lot of vomit. 

On the one hand, it sucked that I back slid, but it was only one day. Everyone indulges now and then. The good part of the situation was that it was amazing how in tune I am with my body now. I knew EXACTLY what I did wrong and what I can do to prevent it from happening again. Its horrible to think that my body used to be accustomed to eating every day like that and how much healthier I am now. Yes!
