Not too darn bad!!!!

I got my hair done yesterday. I will take some pictures later and post one. It's not exactly what I wanted, I guess I misunderstood what my stylist was asking when he asked if I wanted to keep my bangs the same, I thought he meant in the picture I showed him but I guess he meant the same as I usually do, so they are shorter than I wanted them for the style I was going for, but it still looks cute. It feels so different. I probably got about 4 inches cut off the length.

Last night we went to our friends house to watch the UFC fight. She made meatballs and pasta salad and had a veggie tray, chips and guacamole. Obviously all I could eat out of that was the veggie tray..... I put a roast in the crockpot with some taco seasoning and water, once it was cooked we shredded the beef and then took stuff for tacos. I made a salad out of it. It was yummy and the tacos were a hit with everyone else. Later she made chocolate fondue and had strawberries, bananas, and pound cake to dip. It looked so yummy, but I just had a couple strawberries. There was beer, water or pop to drink - I drank water. So, we went to a party and I stayed totally on plan. It was great. I am glad though that for the next UFC party I will be done with my injections and will be able to eat regular food. We are hosting it next and I'm thinking of doing Asian salad rolls, kabobs, maybe a seven layer dip - so for the most part it will still be pretty healthy - but I will be able to have the yummy dessert.

Today I went out for my jog. I'm so proud of myself. I walked for the first song (3 min 30 sec) and then I jogged the rest of the time, which was a little over 17 minutes straight. I walked for about 30 seconds in the middle just because I was trying to switch to a different song on my ipod. It really is amazing how much easier running is once you've lost some weight. Last year at this time when I was losing on my own for the wedding, I was slowly increasing my jogging time and the longest I was able to jog at one time was about 6 minutes. I went 1.7 miles. I know that doesn't seem like much, but for me it's a huge acomplishment.
So I think my next jogging workout will be a HIIT session. I will warm up and then all out sprint for 30 seconds and then jog for 60 seconds, I will do that at least 8 times, and then cool down. It doesn't sound like a huge work out, but it is a great one that keeps your body burning all day long. When I did it last year the fat melted away.

  2. We went bowling with the same group as last night a couple weeks ago - let me tell you that was hard! I did have a vodka and diet, but I didn't eat any of the junk food they ordered. I just tried really hard not to look at it.
    I did the c25k program last year. Well I guess I should say, I started it with the 1st week and then kind of improvised to my own version of it. I also didn't like the songs that I found with one of the programs so I used my own music and just timed myself. I'm off to read your new blog. :)
