shoutout to all the other ex-gifted & talented/honor student/straight a/senior editor/star student/99th percentile/once-creative burn-outs who have, since high school, realized they are truly miniscule fish in a giant, endless ocean, criticized themselves to the point of creative paralysis, and participated in so much self-sabotage they no longer see the point of doing anything at all because they’re just going to ruin it for themselves anyway

:)

this one’s for you

Weightlifter girl problems: my hands felt like they were on fire after that last snatch.

Salsa chicken stir fry with onions, broccoli, avacado, tomatoes, and pineapple. Not a bad snatch workout either #pvchallenge #liftbig #gymlife

Hippie glitter. Don't ask... As I was making these (apples with homemade peanut butter and granola) all I could think of was that the granola sticking to the pb reminded me of glitter and this is why hippie glitter must be. Idk. My first week of 2013 is going pretty well. I applied for like half a dozen jobs and got one interview so we'll see how that goes... Have been eating in and cooking good (thanks paleomg!) healthy meals for me and boyfriend and working out is good. Basically, life is good in my little island life. I'm pau.

So i know it's been a while but flying home happened and Christmas happened and family time happened then flying again then. Wedding then flying back to Hawaii then New Years and ugh, here we are!! So new year, same [slightly smarter] me. I don't do New Years resolutions, because if I want to change something I should change it. Not wait for some seemingly random day to change it. So here's my Friday-I-want-to-be-better-at-life decisions: 1. Blog more. I think I'm pretty funny and it soothes me 2. Eat better, more consistently. I literally printed out 20 paleomg recipes yesterday AND preorderd her book so head start on that one. 3. Not be so dramatic. That ones for boyfriend. 4. MORE ABS 5. Save more $. I want to go to Europe this summer so make that save more $$$$$$. That's all for this Friday at least. Oh and boyfriend is signing us up for some couples crossfit meet so more laughs to come on that. Ps. If you're wondering about the panda... Boyfriend calls me his panda bear... I know AREN'T WE CUTE?!
