Spring Break 2015

The stress from the semester was almost overwhelming as the time for spring break rolled around on Thursday last week. Thankfully class ended on Thursday and it seemed as if the stress on my body was instantly lifted. I was about to head down to my boyfriends house for the break and the thought alone of seeing him later that day made me so happy I could cry. Unfortunately, this meant a 7 hour drive starting at 3 o'clock in the afternoon and I did dread the drive to Apple Valley all the way from Napa. In case you don't know what that looks like, its something like this...

Its a long, very straight, and altogether a not entertaining drive. The views are dull, the weather is hot, and its blindingly sunny when its 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Finally, after 7 1/2 hours of boring as hell driving I arrived at his house at 10:30pm. Thankfully he kissed me and hugged me and we got to go in the hot tub before a great nights sleep. 

Four days later and my spring break vacation in the lovely, and frankly hot as hell, southern California is going amazing! We have been swimming and hot tubing every day and night which has been so much fun although not without negative side effects. I did get one of the worst sunburns even though I lathered up on sunscreen, wore a hat, and went in and out of the sun every 30 mins. Other than swimming we have been watching movies, relaxing, playing with his adorable dog Sarge, and just plain messing around. I have been so relaxed and with no homework assigned for the 10 days of relaxation. Tomorrow I'm not sure what I will be posting but I know I will come up with something. So here are some pictures from my So-Cal vacation. 

Lather up, get out in the sun, and enjoy yourselves! 

Felt confident enough to wear a bikini! <3 My journey to loving myself is working. 

Its been sunny like this everyday starting at 7:30 am! With the highest temperature, so far, being over 85 degrees.

Here's my boyfriends 8 month old puppy. His name is Sarge. Were teaching him how to love swimming.

Kayla's Kicking my Butt

It's Sunday y'all!!

 I have been in Southern Cali. since Thursday visiting my man and I love it the weather is fantastic 80 degrees and above every day! I have been getting my tan on, enjoying the sun, and relaxing. I of course had my usual course load of homework including the essay but I took my best friend from the blog Finally Freckled's advice and laid in the sun, did about an hour at a time, and did not distract myself during with social media or anything. Needless to say its done, I'm happy, now I can relax till I leave tomorrow afternoon *sad face.*

The homework moutain

The gorgeous Mojave desert sun!

On another entirely different note. About two weeks ago me and my best friend, who has her own blog called Finally Freckled at finallyfreckled.com, purchased Kayla Itsines Bikini Body Guide Weeks 1-12. We both saw so many people with great results from her program and both decided we want to get on top of being not only skinny, but healthy and in shape. Week 2 is coming up and so far I am so sore but feeling good and getting more and more motivated! The program is intense not something you should do halfheartedly! However that being said on Kayla's website (https://www.kaylaitsines.com.au/) there are free downloadable work outs so you can see and try out the exercises and if you think you can do those then I would recommend her guide. 

I won't be posting weekly progress shots although I will be taking one every week, instead I will be posting an update every 4 weeks so you can all so how much of a change there is. So far there isn't much change although I feel more energized and excited for my workouts. Don't be fooled though they are so hard! Tomorrow I will post the before shot.
