I absolutely love where I live. San Diego is one of the most beautiful places to be and it really doesn't get old. I've hiked Torrey Pines beach trail an uncountable number of times ever since my first time hiking it when I was in Girl Scouts in what, 1st grade? Today I added to that uncountable number and hiked it with one of my favorite people, Katie! She loves hiking just as much as I do and it's good to have someone to hike with. Torrey Pines is a personal favorite of mine, but any hiking trail is great! A pretty view and fresh air makes working out more fun. We talked and laughed the entire time, the ~3 miles didn't even feel like anything (I'll probably feel it in the morning though!).




I want it to be known that I'm not hiking, running, and going to the gym more often to "lose weight". I just want to be more fit and toned for the upcoming swimsuit season and cheer season. I've taken a break from all-star cheer and I plan on going back this year. Being an all-star cheerleader takes a lot of strength and physical stamina so I am simply trying to get back the body endurance I used to have when I was super into all-star cheer. People have been commenting a little more than usual on my weight and it hurts a lot to hear that people wonder if I'm eating. If you really knew me, you would know I can down a 4x4 from In-N-Out burger along with the fries and drinks in less than 7 minutes, you would know my mom goes grocery shopping more than the usual person because my sister and I eat all the food in one day. What I'm trying to say is this girl can eat, loves to eat, and does eat. Being diagnosed with allergies to corn, nuts, and dairy about a year and a half ago made some unhealthy foods and snacks unavailable to me and did take a toll on my weight. I also lost a couple pounds from working out more recently, but under no mean am I trying to be skinnier than I am right now. Just more toned and fit for athletic purposes.
It kills me that so many girls have eating disorders. I see so many celebrities and teenage girls who look unhealthily skinny. So many girls that want to look skeletal. So many posts on Tumblr about the "beauty" of collar bones and hip bones being completely visible. If that isn't how you were naturally made, I don't think you should push your body to look like that. Maybe you can't lose those last couple pounds because you shouldn't. Your body is supposed to have some meat on your bones in order to survive and live a happy life. Not eating would make me the grumpiest person ever. I know that some girls can't help it and that it is truly a disorder they have developed. I'm also not trying to say everyone should go eat as much as they want every day and not work out. I just hate the fact that we live in a society where girls think that looking scrawny and bony is considered attractive. It puts a lot of pressure on girls that are already beautiful and shouldn't be so concerned about their weight.
On another note, last week I totaled my car and today the car shop officially declared it totaled. I have to get myself around somehow so my parents are letting me get a used car of my choice under a certain price budget. I'm looking at a Volkswagen Rabbit and a Jeep Liberty! I'm excited to get a new car that can be all mine! My first car was my grandmas old one so it didn't exactly feel like it was something to call my own. Now, I can get a real first car! Can't wait:)
That's all I have to say for today! Oh, my blog had 103 page views after only one day and I'm very happy to see that people are interested in what I have to offer on here!:)
