WIAW: Important Updates!

happy WIAW! before we get to some of my latest eats, I wanted to give you guys a few updates :)

the most important update of all: i was accepted to my #1 college, UCLA!!! i got in last Friday and i am SO EXCITED. thank you all for your congratulations - especially my twitter friends! i definitely worked my butt off for that acceptance and sacrificed a lot for a shot at getting in.. and it was worth it! i am SO pumped for college!!!

trust me, i was 50000000x more excited than i look in this pic! tiredness will do that to a girl :) 

update #2: i saw the Hunger Games last weekend and since i'm sure you're sick of reading about it, let's just say it was awesome. totally lived up to the book!

update #3: i got to go to a NASCAR race last weekend (i've been watching races since i was a little girl, even though i still don't know a lot about racing!) and it was so much fun!

jeff gordon's CAR! AHHH!

it was definitely a super fun whirlwind trip and quite the experience!!

finally onto the eats! while we were traveling i did the best i could but i still wasn't able to eat my normal, healthier food. the problem with that is once i start eating less nutritious food, it's hard to stop eating the junk! the past few days have not been too great nutrition-wise and i know i just need to get back into my normal routine.

all the recent eats [mostly from before & after the trip!]:

savory oatmeal (recipe coming soon!) with eggs, cheese, and ketchup 

packed lunch: veggie salad, pink lady apple, turkey & laughing cow wrap, pria bar

puffed millet + crunchy maple sunrise

tortilla with barney butter x 100

starbucks unsweetened passionfruit tea

new-to-me luna protein bar- the verdict? delicious! the texture and taste were spot on.

coffee. lots and lots of coffee. 

a tortilla with pb + a dr. praeger's veggie burger scrambled with eggs and drizzled with ketchup 

pretzel sticks + barney butter

honey crisp apple with pb2 

another dr. praegers burger on a tortilla with laughing cow (we were out of bread!)

almond butter + apple butter sammie

after a recent workout (1.5 mile warmup, 2 miles fast, 1.5 mile cool down) in the pouring rain! 

crazy hair! :)

aand lastly a recent outfit! (lovin' my heeled boots!)

whew that was a marathon post :)) i hope you all have an amazing rest of the week!!

how do you get back to healthy eating after a few days of junk?

favorite thing about college? (if you haven't been, what are you most looking forward to?)
