What happens when your friends get engaged.

In a span of 2 months my best friend and Alex's best friend both got engaged. Yay for attending weddings, boo for planning them.

He always pushes his head sotight against mine. It hurts.

And as much as I'm so so happy for both couples, it gets annoying for many reasons.

#1) I like weddings, a lot. I love pinning ideas for my non existent wedding and going on How He Asked.com to tear up at the really cute and romantic proposals but wedding's are not all I want to talk about. 

I was glad that when grabbed lunch with karen for her birthday yesterday, the wedding didn't come up at all. That was nice. 

#2) I also think that "the engaged" think just because they have popped the question or have the ring that all other couples will follow suit quickly after. So we're asked when it'll be my turn and what's happening with you guys. All.the.time.

and here's the thing, I'm not ready to be engaged. I don't want to right now. And there is nothing wrong with that. I'm happy dating. I'm sure that'll change, but hey, that's another post for another time. 


So what happens....you start over analyzing your relationship, having serious talks that you've already had and maybe feeling like you're less of a couple then those already engaged. That they're more serious (kinda) but it gets in your head. And it sucks. 

So those engaged, go easy on your friends who aren't. Don't pressure them to get that ring. 

-What happened when you're friends got engaged. Same things happen?

New Year resolution so far.

We're 4 weeks into the New Year, that's all? Feels longer. 

Anyways, 4 weeks into 2014 and hows your New Years resolutions going? Mine for 2014 wasn't anything specific but along the lines of keep eating paleo 80% of the time and working out 4-5x a week. 
Oh, hi muscles. 
Aside from a little back injury (was doing a HIIT workout earlier this week and pulled a muscle doing a front squat) and not able to go to the gym, I'm doing well. Upping my weight during bodypump and loving bootcamp, so much

Eating paleo is amazingly yummy and makes me feel awesome! My Gramma even texted me this weekend asking about Paleo and if I could share some info about it. I love her and she and my Grandpa need to change their diet. Your only veggie for the day can't be iceberg lettuce.
 This. Flavour country. This filled me up for a good 3ish hours. Avocado, egg and bacon. Bake at 185 till egg is at your liking.

Can't contain my excitement for my new heart rate monitor. I neeed something to track my calorie burn at the gym.
As much as I love paleo, I do eat cake and pizza (just not at the same time). Remember, I do have a boyfriend who is not paleo (does enjoy it) and loves his carbs. Everything in moderation and treating myself on the weekend seems to be keeping me on track. No harm.
