A pat on the back.

I thought i’d give myself a small pat on the back since I’m alone a lot lately and cats don’t appreciate your efforts. (man that sentence sounded sad, so don’t get the wrong idea… I’m pretty happy!)

I declared to myself on Jan 1st that I’d be a bit healthier and fit back into my skinny jeans and flannel I wore durring the Olympics. When I was poor I was pretty pleased with my body, oddly enough. I guess when you can’t afford to eat out, it shows.

So at first I didn’t really change anything… but for the last two weeks I’ve done pretty well! and starting monday it will be a routine gym visit 2x a week. Which is 200% more than I’ve participated in in the last 6 months. (badddd)

I’ve had soup and crackers and fruit for lunch every week day for two weeks with yogurt and berries and granola for breakfast those same days. Dinner it’s usually my only real carb of the day, potatoes brown rice or whole wheat pasta and some kind of meat. Turkey and Chicken mostly. I know fish is good for you, and I like it! but I just haven’t figured out how to cook it. It always seems either under or over cooked or too fishy tasting probably due to freshness… so I guess if I want real fish I have to go to granville island or steveston. Kind of a pain though.

I’ve only been drinking water, and milk and coffee. and beer on the weekends- that’s never going to change, I don’t care if it gives me a beer belly, I love it.

So I guess if I keep doing this I should see why it’s worth the effort in about a month. 

Also… made my hair appointment for Feb 18. Going to cut off about 5 inches and lighten up and change the cut and colour completely and I’m VERYYYY excited about this. I love a good makeover. Changing my hair has always been probably my favorite thing to do for me. The experience of making an apointment and getting there and reading fashion magazines and having lattes and head massages with polite fun conversation with someone who just knows what you want and makes it happen, and then the feeling of walking out of there with such a air of confidence about you. Feeling like you look your best. Probably struting a little bit. 

…Or maybe it’s just me… *crickets*

At any rate. High five to making a change!
