19 days ’til B-day, 24 ’til trip!!!
This is where I start getting real antsy! I’ve been eating very clean but I just happened to have two "cheat" days in a row. In this case, I wound up staying out a little later and drinking a little more than I anticipated. Hey, I know it’s my fault and no one told me to order a chocolate raspberry martini after my caramel apple one. I try to hang out with my friends (we’ve been a close knit group for over 10 years now) at least once a week. It feels like half of them are about to move out of state for educational and career opportunities. Considering what I’ve learned and keep learning about mortality in the past year, I try my best to spend as much time with all of them and let them know how much they mean to me. For the most part, I have learned how to go out and enjoy being totally sober or nurse a glass of water (not up to the BYOProtein yet, Clemon 
). I have to be on my own ass for the next 19 days and try to not overdo it on my birthday.
Nevertheless, I AM stepping the cardio up and seeing some nice definition all over! I’m not so obsessed with dropping down to 135 before the trip. If it happens, great, but I am very happy with my results this far. I promise, I will not stop. When I get back from my trip, I am going to keep up my clean eating and working out. Things look good right now, but I’m looking forward to having a six pack and hitting North Avenue beach with confidence this summer.
