Hair Day 5

Got my hair chopped on Monday. Originally cut my bangs and decided I hated them with my (then) current hair. So, I got it chopped. I love it because I don't have to do much to it! YEAH NO HAIR!! It is growing on Matt. He doesn't hate it but it is a big change for him.

This is right after I got home from the salon...not my styling.

Day 5. Pretty much did nothing to it but wet it and goop it up a little. Yeah no muss no fuss! Sorry it looks so serious. That is my relaxed face.

Here's a smiley face for you!

Before and After

Here are the before and after pictures from the 5 Ton Weight Loss Challenge. I hate pictures because it is easy to tell how much fat I still have to lose. I love pictures because they document the changes.

Matt and I are going to order the P90X workout stuff. I have proven to myself that I am not a pathetic weakling and now believe I can take on the challenge of P90X. I will have to modify things at the beginning (and so will Matt) but I think I can get some serious muscle definition by my birthday...which may turn out to be the 90 day mark if we get the system in time.

Jogalicous

I went for a jog today. 4.5 miles in 1 1/2 hours. I can't do a really fast jog right now because my knee is a little hurt but a slow jog with my knee brace is great. It was so much fun and it felt really really good. No pain, no soreness, no getting halfway out there and then feeling dead. It was awesome.

I am going to ride with Matt to work tomorrow and jog home. That will be a 6 mile jog on the bike trail. I will be taking my pepper spray with me so no worries.

Even though Fresno is not where I picture myself living for the rest of my life, where we live in Fresno is pretty awesome. I love that I can see the mountains (when the air is clear), that I can smell manure from CSU, Fresno on some days/nights, and that I can take a 4.5 mile jog around the ag from the college, through the college and back up by the livestock. I would love to live in the country but this may be the next best thing until that happens. All of this plus we are super central to everything we need.

When I moved here, I lost my comfort zone that kept me working out and motivated. I think I have finally found it again. I think I have discovered that my muscles are still there too. Yes it takes time to find your way, to get on track, but it is so worth it when you do. This 5 Ton Weight Loss Challenge has been the best thing ever in helping find myself again and start feeling good about myself.

Now I'm off to eat my lunch! Romaine with chicken (aka chicken salad but I didn't want anyone to think I meant the mayonnaise type) and honey mustard dressing. YUMMY!!!!

Cupcakes

Here are the cupcakes I made for Brittany's birthday/Easter.
