Uh oh…what have I done?
About once a year I finally get to the salon and get my hair trimmed and colored. This time I decided to get a lot chopped off. I hadn’t been taking care of my hair like I should, especially since it was so long. I guess now it should be a lot easier to manage! ;)

Today was my first day back at the gym after a long time away. Life (excuses) have gotten in the way but I’m back and recommitting myself to getting healthier. I met with my amazing and wonderful trainer and we reestablished my baseline as well as talked about my nutrition and fitness routines. Eating healthy is the easy part for me. I actually love most “healthy” food and I enjoy cooking.
But exercising…I dread. We even have a treadmill at home…but do I use it? Let me go ahead and answer that one for you. No. Do I know that I should? Yes. Does that seem to matter? Unfortunately not. So my new goal is to try and focus more on the exercise aspect. Start slow and build up. Fingers crossed!
Oh, and I made this amazing dish for dinner tonight. No recipe. Just picked up some delicious looking veggies from Aldi, sauteed them up in the wok I also purchased from Aldi, added some chicken and feta and enjoyed the crap out of it! Mmmm…(drool)

Well, one thing I didn’t think about was the amount of dishes that weekly prepping creates…I’m talking about ALL the dishes are dirty! Luckily I don’t mind washing dishes (normally). Also, I’m feeling very grateful for this wonderfully open kitchen we have. It makes everything much easier.
Guess I better buy some more soap!

Meal plan, week 1
I’m getting back on the healthy train. I had good results a while ago when my mum and I meal prepped for the week, so I’m going to try that again. I’ve found that if I have healthy food already made and waiting it’s harder to eat crap. For a couple of reasons. I like “healthy” food, but I don’t always like to cook. Plus, if it’s already made I have a hard time letting it go to waste. That’s money just getting thrown away…and I don’t like that! :)

This showed up today. :) Will actually had these sent to the hotel in North Charleston while we were there this weekend, to say thank you. Unfortunately, I had already checked out of the hotel before they arrived. It’s so cute!

A well deserved book and beer dinner break. Tomorrow we pack up and bring all this crap back home and fill up our house with it…

One of the strangest things we found at Benny’s apartment was his refrigerator. There was no food…just lots, I mean lots, of film.
I headed up to South Carolina after school today. Will’s still in California, but a friend of ours offered to help move the bulk of Benny’s stuff back to Atlanta. So I decided to go up early and work on the apartment a little bit before he got here.
