when i look good, i feel good



So I was on my way to the gym....




Usually I walk, but today I decided to drive because I'll be honest, I was lacking a little motivation. Well somehow I ended up at Nordstrom and not the gym.






Just a little detor. I feel like I've been working my butt off and deserve some new work out clothes. And maybe I'm just trying to catch a little someone's attention. Ha. As I'm driving home I decide to make a deal with myself... If I don't go to the gym and run 3 miles right now, I have to take it all back tomorrow! (I wasn't wearing my new gym clothes just yet! :) So I get to the gym, and bust out 4 miles. Dang I feel good! Someone has to reward me. :) Today I'm training at 7 with my trainer and wearing a hot new outfit! Yeyy me.



Nordstrom + Golds Gym = a happy lil lady!

Life really is...


Like a box of chocolates. SERIOUSLY. you really never know what you're going to get. sometimes you think you're about to bite into your favorite chocolate but you misread the little picture thingy and bite into the most horrible tasting thing ever.... all because of one little wrong turn. Then sometimes i 'KNOW' that this is my favorite chocolate because I've tasted it before BUT NO... it only looks like something that is going to make you so happy and fulfill that little something. instead it leaves you sad and disgusted. other times you have an innocent bystander that says 'you need to try this one! it's the best.' but you chose not to listen. or they say 'no trust me it's horrible' and you taste it anyways wanting to prove them wrong. well my life is like a box of chocolates! and i've had my fair share of taste testing. some will make me happy and others will leave me saying really? hahaha, yes really. sometimes risks are worth it and sometimes they aren't. but what it really comes down to is what's on the inside. i just want to crack these boys (or people in general) open and figure out if they're really genuine and what i want without taking the risk. without having to do a little scratching on the bottom of the chocolate (aka digging into their past) which no one really likes. that's why you secretly do it... then you either like what you see and partake of this wonderful chocolate or put it back in the box. but even then looks are deceiving. sometimes it looks like caramel but it's really butterscotch. so then you try to cut to the chase and point blank cut the chocolate in half to see what's inside. you say right off that bat, okay what are you made of? but then they feel like you've just stepped into their little space bubble. 'you can't be that blunt!' well why the heck not. hahahaha. I'm totally running circles around myself right now and yes, i'm serious. life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're going to get. :)
