My Life Lately

So I am stealing this idea from the crazy amazing girl named Jessica who runs a really cute blog named Stilettos & A Fishing Pole! Guys, go check her out... she and her husband Aaron are just too darn adorable, and I love Aaron's take on the Bachelor by the way Jess... :) too funny.

 

Anyway, without further adieu here are some facts about my life lately!

Date: March 12, 2012

My Initials: VCB

Age: 22

Size: I can finally fit in to medium shirts, and I am pretty sure I am down to a size 14 pants, which is great considering 8 months ago I was bulging out of 18's!

Friday Nights: Driving somewhere to visit friends and family or at the bar with my Dallas friends.

Hair Style: I need my hair dyed SOOO bad. It's also getting pretty long now, I want to grow it out again, I def miss my long hair!

Favorite place to dine out: Haven't been dining out a lot lately, lots of protein shakes... Let's see though, I've been grabbing food from Jason's Deli a lot lately, I love their soups and steamed veggies!

Favorite Outfit: Hardly any of my clothes fit anymore... My go to outfit has been my smallest pair of jeans tucked in to my grey boots, with a cute green top that Jessica (different Jessica than mentioned above, hehe) recently gave me.

Love Life: Single again. Been spending a lot of nights crying, or getting drunk to try and forget (doesn't work) Wishing things were different, but accepting the reality and trying to move on.

 Home Life: I live on my own, and now that I am single I spend a lot of time getting in touch with myself. Been making a lot of video diaries, really letting out how I feel, figuring out what I want/need out of life, divising plans to get there. I work two jobs, so I am not home a lot but when I am I'm relaxing or inviting friends over to have some wine and talk/laugh the night away. I need to spend more time cooking good meals for myself and finishing all the projects around my house that I have wanted to get done!

TV shows: I don't watch TV a lot, I may catch a few re-runs of The Challenge, Jersey Shore, Teen Mom, or I Just Want My Pants Back on a late night getting home from work, but that about it. (Can you tell my TV is on MTV alot? So shameful... lol) I'm never home in the evenings for the Prime Time TV stuff!!! :(

 

Extra time: Free time these days is spent at the GYM, I am there every second I get, cylcing classes, yoga, pilates, with my trainer, or running, I want to do it ALL guys, it has become such a big part of me and when I don't go for two or three days I get this sadness that washes over me, but the second I hit the gym floor I feel SO high on life! I love it. Any extra time I get on the weekends is spent GOING PLACES, I hate just staying in one place for too long, and my extra time use to be spent with JB, now that I am single, it's spent getting out of town, clearing my head, and seeing the people that mean the most to me. I went out of town for the past two weekends and had a blast, when you are getting over someone it's so good to be around all the people who will love you forever, no matter what!

What excites me: Being myself. Learning new things. New opportunities. Every thing that the future has to offer. I have never been happier with myself and the direction I am headed. It's a struggle every day, but there is such beauty in it all. I have loved, lost, and learned through every wonderful year that I have been given in this life and that is the BEST gift I could ever ask for. In the next few months I am really excited about my new oppourtunity at Life Time, meeting new people and really starting to network for my future, and of course I am SUPER excited about The Warrior Dash that's coming up!

A moment I never want to forget:  Laying in bed with my best friend Nahal after a night on the town. We were just talking and catching up on each other's lives, but I really soaked that moment in with her and thought to myself, "I do not have one wall up, nothing to hide from this person beside me, she knows every single thing about me, good and bad, and she loves me anyway." That is the way I want to feel with a man one day, and I never want to forget that it does exist. I have proof, it's right there in my best friend's love for me.

Happy Tuesday Yall!!!
