IT’S AMAZING…
…how many bad boyfriend-broke-up-with-me food choices can be presented to one person in a matter of a week. Guess I better stay focused on the gym.
I WANT TO HIT A 14,000 CALORIE DEFICIT
for the month of May. So far I am at 2,670. We’ll see what happens! I WILL confidently wear a bikini on my cruise this July. Back in the gym strong tomorrow for some lifting and cardio! :)
Haha I love this cartoon.

This was my trip to the University of Iowa to attend the Admitted Students Events for the College of Law.
Pic 1: That is me standing in front of the College of Law. I was really impressed that they have the largest law library after Harvard.
Pic 2: The building on the left is the University Recreation building… the Law School building is at the back on the right. Considering that the campus is pretty spread out, I will be so close to the gym all the time! Pretty excited about that.
Pic 3: This is me standing on one of the many bridges that extend across the Iowa River. The Iowa River runs down the middle of campus.
Pic 4: This is me standing in the center of the Pentacrest.
Overall, I really enjoyed my trip there and am pretty excited about the things I learned about the Law School.

Wow, I’ve been absent the past two weeks. First, my sister’s wedding. Next, I got the flu and had to rearrange my flight to Iowa City. Then, I eventually got to Iowa City to check out the University of Iowa campus. Busy busy… but I am back and ready to hit the gym tonight!
ALL I WANT IS TO GO TO THE GYM
But since I haven’t gone to work in 2 days because I’ve felt like shit, I know I need to stay at home and rest. Tomorrow I will be going for damn sure.
I ALWAYS FEEL AWKWARD
saying “my ass hurts” the day after I’ve done squats/lunges at the gym. LOL
dayELEVEN
Today I felt like I was eating all day long, and STILL HUNGRY. I guess that means I have got my metabolism going!
One of my students asked me why I go to the gym if I’m “already skinny.” It made way for a wonderful conversation about how girls can have muscles, too, and no it’s not manly.
THIS.
