Let's try again shall we?

Well, after my injury at work about 2 weeks ago now, I hadn't been able to really do a workout. I didn't do much running or anything of the sorts. I am at 148 lbs now and still have a ways to go. I would like to reach my goal by the end of March. However, I fell off the wagon the week of my cycle. But that's why I am starting again. 
I did some much needed stretching this morning and some even more needed yoga. My body feels a little more limber and my back doesn't seem to be hurting as much. I am jumping back on the wagon starting today. I am going to drink less soda and more water and cut out 3/4 of the junk food. A little junk never hurt anyone ;) 
I have 23 lbs to go to meet my second goal of 125, and 13 to meet my first goal. I know I can do this. I do know I can do this, and I am tired of making excuses. I go back to my original diet, consuming less than 2500 calories a day and working out as much as I can without injuring my knee again. I am going to the grocery store tonight in order to get some fruits that I should be eating and some veggies as well. I am tired of living on process crap and should be eating at home more and eating healthier. 


I went out for Valentine's Day and my Anniversary this past weekend. It was wonderful. I couldn't have asked for a better weekend than what I had. I spent almost all of it with Travis when I wasn't working. We had a blast! We couldn't stop giggling and laughing the entire time. :) It was one of those perfect couples weekends that we all deserve sometimes. 


 I got an extra day off this week so that helped with laundry and cleaning that needed to get done, so I can focus (on my regular day off) on getting some brainstorming and writing done. I still have 36 hours for the week and am only working 4 days. So a couple of longer shifts, but that's alright. I got an extra day to rest and spend time with my love and my family. 
I also dyed my hair this weekend.. well had someone else dye it for me :) I think it turned out great!


This you can see almost all of the colors in it. :) 

This one is right after I got it done, It was styled and everything. But you can't see all the colors in it.


*Simple Moment*
Friday night I had to close at work and didn't get out until late. I was talking to Travis before I went to bed as is our custom each night, when he got quiet. I asked him "honey, what's wrong?" His reply??
"Nothing. I love you. Happy Anniversary". It was perfect in every way. 


Until next time, remember The Simple Things in Life.
