Every week we will all make a list of workouts and activities that we plan to do through out our week this way we know when our rest days are and when we need to push it.

a bad three days!

Finals are finally over!!!!! I have not been eating to well because i have not had time to organize my food and most of my studying time has been spent in no other place but STARBUCKS. The center of good and evil. between the star bucks and any food place that can pass us a sandwich in a matter of five minutes. But tomorrow starts a new day. I am ready to go back to how i was eating the days before the last three and to actually be able to hit the gym everyday for four hours. SWEET. Well that's a short sweet poorly written  update but i'm in a hurry i need to sleep and i also have an eye infection. Yea yea its been that kind of week.

Happy Holidays,
