Year 2/Day 191

Chopped locks

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! ;)

Year 2 - Day 190

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!

Year 2 - Day 186

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!

Wow.  After packing up both vehicles…this is all that’s left.  I can’t believe we are almost done.  Let’s take a look back and see some before/after pictures of this crazy ordeal that we’ve been through.  It’s pretty amazing that we’ve managed to get through all of this stuff.  SO much trash.  I can’t image ever living in a place that cluttered.

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…

Year 2 - Day 182

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.
