think back to the summer after your freshman year in college. freshman 15? yes, no, maybe? maybe not 15 for me but it sure is enough to want to do something fun get back to my prom bod-- classic high school girl who does anything and everything to look good in one dress for one night. most girls starve themselves or spend hours on end at the gym. i went paleo and hunkered down with my crossfit friends. it worked! 

after prom however, was when things got a little rough around the edges. my friends and i went to europe for a month, and with all those baguettes, cheeses, and gelaterias, you can only imagine the damage done. then, off to college where they force an unlimited meal plan on us to eat as much, apparently laxative ridden, food as we can shove in our grimy, hungover faces. i made a home in a new place and made friends with people i now love, but for some reason, although im not complaining, we decided to only socialize while drinking our personal bottles of wine, taking at least 6 shots a night, or a combination of the two. Not saying i didnt have fun, but the wreckage left behind is less than amusing. 

first night of the trip spent in munich. first thing we did was go to a beer garden... and drink lots of beer.

we proceed to have lots of fun throughout the trip... thats me in the front on the left. harry, a fourty-ish, very hairy, man, also on the left, and the rest of the ladies are my crazy ass friends. this was the second night of a seventeen night trip. things got a little weird.

now that that's over with, i want to kick ass. so, i've decided to start my first whole 30 and see how that goes.
