Life is short, do what makes you happy: I'M BACK

I’M BACK. These last two months have been great and SUPER BUSY. Literally my life summed up in one word is BUSY.

February/March highlights:

· Justin Timberlake concert + visit from Bailey

· Birthday celebrations with friends

· SPRING BREAK + birthday celebrations with the fam

· Choir tour

· Long weekend home

· Kindergarten Clinical

· Outdoor runs

AND……

The countdown to Rwanda has begun!! For those of you who don’t know, I am going to Rwanda for 5 weeks right after school gets out. I have had weekly meetings with the professor and 5 other girls who are going. I COULD NOT BE MORE EXCITED. All I want is to go to Rwanda right now! But I have class and work and I should probably think about packing….

Anyway, I have tried setting many goals over the past two months and I always seem to fail miserably. So I have decided to take a break from trying to set and meet goals and instead just worry about doing my best to be healthy. I have ONE MONTH (is that real?) left of school so I need to stay focused and do my best. I also need to get ready for my trip and I still want to have fun with my friends.

I have tried to go back to counting calories, hoping that would help me get back on track and lose some weight but I think that just made things worse. This next month I want to focus on choosing healthy food options, training for my race over Easter break and incorporating more strength workouts into my routine. I am also trying to drink more water!
