I love being at my camp. The mountains are beautiful. The lakes are beautiful. It all makes me happy. There’s no internet except in town. There’s no cell service until the next town over. and I don’t even care. This is what my summer is. I love it.
but really I don’t have internet at my house. My mom got rid of it because she has internet at work and she didn’t want to pay for it at home anymore. I’m currently sitting in a Panera. It’s rather inconvenient, but I can deal… So that’s why I’m MIA. so sorry for the sadness I’m sure I didn’t cause anyone.
My room mate and almost all of our friends have moved out already. I’m excited to go home and see my old friends and enjoy my summer… but I just have this awful feeling in my stomach. Like things won’t ever be the same. so many memories were made in this dorm room. and now I have to leave it. and never live here again. Never again live together with all of the great people I’ve become so close to this year. I’m just looking back on how amazing this first year at college has been, and getting really nostalgic. Gah. make it stop. I want to be excited, not sad. sigh.
I made it to the gym today! :D
weighed myself there and apparently I’ve lost 3-4 lbs since Friday… It kind of shocked me. It’s probably not fat. From what I’ve read, it seems like the beginning of low carb diets cause people to lose a lot of water weight, and it’s really difficult to eat a lot of carbs and eat paleo. but I can’t say I’m completely unhappy with the slight drop. now to cut down a bit on the bf% and I’ll be satisfied.
also, I’m almost done packing, and I’ll be headed home in a few hours! :D
THE GYM IS CLOSED! IT’S THE END OF THE WORLD! I JUST WANTED TO GET IN ONE LAST LIFTING WORKOUT BEFORE I HAVE TO DO SWIMMING KAYAKING AND BODYWEIGHT STUFF ALL SUMMER! :(
seasoned zucchini plus burger meat = delicious. who needs a bun? :P if I can be this creative with dining hall food, eating paleo when I’m cooking for myself is going to be a breeze! and on another positive note, I’M DONE WITH MY LAST FINAL AND OFFICIALLY ON SUMMER VACATION!!!! :D
this is so disgusting. the amount of ingredients I can’t even pronounce… why is it okay to feed people these things??? yet another good reason to go paleo.
gpoy. last final in 5.5 hours. I need to leave tumblr alone and study. (Source: peacelovexash, via heymarinaa)
what I look like on the outside vs. how I feel on the inside.
+ a “please be my friend and don’t unfollow me” face thrown in.
this is so great. I’m pretty much convinced. I’m just going to have to make enough money this summer to pay for my membership.
but I’m not. I’ve been trying to pretty much all day, but I keep getting distracted by other more interesting things. like researching crossfit gyms I could join next year. and watching crossfit videos. and reading literally everything on LBEB. and now it’s almost 8PM and I’ve barely done anything. At least my exam isn’t until 5 tomorrow. but really… I need to do work. Also, I gave up coffee this semester, so I haven’t had any in months, but I drank a ton of it this morning, and I’ve been feeling really jittery and weird all day. No more coffee for me.
I’ve wanted to join a crossfit gym for a while now, but the prices of the ones near me are awfully steep. I’m currently weight training out of my university’s gym, which is great because it’s free, but I don’t have anyone to really “coach” me and I’d like to step it up a little. I’m just looking for opinions on whether or not joining a crossfit gym is worth the money?
supitsjessieee replied to your photo: me vs. forever 21 model. wonder who lifts?
You have such an incredible body. Your arms, legs, butt… You look like a WOMAN …that lifts heavy weights. ;) (Sorry for sounding semi creeper.)
thank you thank you thank you! I don’t think this is creeper-ish at all! you’re one of my most appreciated followers actually :) I know you’re also working towards a better you, so keep on doing what you’re doing! :D
Attempting to start eating paleo before I leave college. slightly more difficult when I don’t know exactly how the dining hall cooks things but hey. hard boiled eggs, chicken breast, spinach, olives = delicious and simple. not sure about the dressing since it’s not in bottles I can read, but I went sparingly, and this is just the beginning. I’m happy :)
igetbye asked: wow you are fantastic, great pic and wonderful blog, keep on going...
thank you! I certainly will keep going! :)
Laura, 19, New York.
I love fashion, photography and dogs, but this blog has gradually shifted to a focus on my love for fitness.
I'm also a freak for all things outdoorsy. The Adirondack high peaks is my favorite place to be.
I'm strong, I'm a free spirit, and I'm proud to be me.
