Pocket Sized Fit Life: My old party self.....new not so much party self

This upcoming weekend a few of my girlfriends from college are flying into town for a mini reunion. I'm sooo excited for this reunion. I'm also looking forward to my cheat meals and to have some drinks with a lot of girl talk.

In college I was a party animal, I would party 3-4 nights a week. I would drink and then eat late night fast food meals every single time I would party. Those were fun times and I will never regret the experience. Looking back at college, I really can't believe how bad I ate. I would also crash diet because of spring break just to lose a few pounds. It was a different lifestyle and the old me.

Here are some pictures of myself in college. I am 10-15 lbs heavier than my current weight right now. Remember I'm 4'10 in height, taller people are able to carry 10-15 lbs a tad bit better than us short girls. =)

I would be a liar if I said that I don't go out anymore or have fun with friends. I don't party 3-4 nights a week anymore. I don't have late night fast food binges. I will go out with friends maybe 1-2 times a month. I will enjoy myself a beer, a glass of wine, a mimosa, etc. I don't go crazy like before. I'm not perfect. I work out and do my best to stay fit. I eat clean and I make an effort. My will power has changed, the old me would give in easier and now I don't. I don't like to ruin all the hard work and time I've put in but I also want to live my life without beating myself up every time I eat something that isn't healthy. People will argue and say that you have to give it all up completely to be fit and in some cases you do to get those extreme results. If I wanted to be a body builder or a fitness competitor my lifestyle would be different.

Right now my endurance is amazing. I can call myself a runner. I go to the gym and I know how to properly work out. I know how to feed my body with good nutrients and I know how to eat clean. Until I decide I want to be a body builder or compete....I'll give it all up. Right now I enjoy being healthy and fit and having some fun in between. =)

Here are some current pictures. I am 10-15lbs lighter than the ones above. You can see the difference in my face.
