Weekend Update!

Man did this weekend fly by!

In a nutshell:

I finally listened to all of the red flags/omens I had been ignoring for a while and I didn't end up getting the class that I wanted (all for the better).

I had the lovely pleasure of celebrating my Great Grandmother's 95th birthday! Held out and didn't eat the cake...and I looove cake, haha! Had some really great conversations with family members/family friends that I hadn't connected with in a while :).

*Went on a 6mile hike at 6am in the hills of Altadena and committed to doing it every Sunday with my cousin from Turkey, Suleyman. (Really proud of this one!)

Got my hair did - and it looks fierce! ;)

Took a nap!

Stuck to my eating goals and allowed myself a rest day on Saturday instead of Sunday.

Wasn't able to keep an accurate calorie/nutritional count using the app on my phone because I ate out a couple of times but I'm confident in the healthy choices I made.
