How do you like the new look? I'm really happy with it. As my blog grows, I hope to add some more pages that newcomers can check out. I personally like reading more details about the writer on blogs that I frequent, but that will come later. I will also at some point add a blogroll so if you get sucked into this blogging world, you can check out some of the ones that I love and frequent.
This week has flown by! I've had a lighter work schedule so I'm sure that is part of it but I am so glad that tomorrow is Friday! No huge plans for this weekend yet, but I'm sure we will think of something.
Yesterday I got my haircut by the fabulous Kirsten who is now at L.A.R.C. salon. It's brand spanking new and conveniently located next to Kozy Kitchen! I love the new place, very relaxed! I get a lot of inquiries about my hair so there you have it! If you are looking for a new stylist, she's your girl! I used to be a crazy change your hair all the time girl but ever since I got this cut, I just can't let it go! Someday I'm sure my long hair will return. Maybe. Lately, I've been contemplating growing my bangs out a bit (not all the way, I have a fivehead). We'll see!
In honor of breast cancer awareness month, I got a mammogram today! I know, that's super exciting news for all of my creepers (that's you). You might say "You're only twenty-five!" Yep, and that caused quite the ruckus today too. But I actually had a lumpectomy a few years ago to remove a akfjddshfmngoiuergyha ( I have never been able to remember the diagnosis but it was not cancer don't worry) Alas, that means I now get mammograms yearly. I'm high maintenance. It takes a lot of work apparently to keep me up and running, as evidenced by the million and one surgeries and doctor visits I've had ( You've been warned Kyle). For all of you that are under 35, let me assure you it is the easiest thing I have ever done. So do it! P.S. Men can get breast cancer too!
And now on to the most exciting part of my week....I got a new toy in the mail yesterday.
I decided to get serious about my workouts (and experiment with different routines) so I got myself a heart monitor. I don't have a whole lot of change to spend on such a thing but I didn't want to get a totally crappy one either. So I got a middle of the road version and tried it out today! It was pretty easy to set up and pretty easy to use on my treadmill run today. I also finally decided that I am definitely an afternoon worker outer. I work out in the morning when I have to ( when I know I definitely won't do it in the evening or just don't have time) but my cardio totally sucks in the morning. I've tried giving myself more wake up time, eating a bigger breakfast, all that jazz. Nope, I suck in the morning. On Tuesday morning, I did a three mile run and was pretty sure I was going to die. This afternoon I ran at least 4 miles ( I was running a little faster than the treadmill speed and fell forward, turning the machine off and wasn't paying super close attention to what mile I was on. Oops. That's the second time I've fallen on the treadmill.) So now I do the opposite of what most people do I think. More strength based in the morning and cardio in the afternoons as my schedule allows.
My week so far has looked like this:
Monday- 30 Day Shred
Tuesday- 3 miles on treadmill
Wednesday- 30 Day Shred
Thursday- 4/4.5 miles on the treadmill
Friday- Decide when I wake up
Hope you're all having a great week so far! Happy almost Friday!
