Sep 21 2009: Haircuts

Monday! And I wasn’t working. How wonderful! But I did work hard at home, getting ready for the trip. I swear, I’ve put so much energy into this trip, it’s ridiculous. And it’s stressful. I’ve spent so much money on all this, that a part of me can’t wait to get back and not spend money. Be really frugal. It sounds so nice to be stingy. But for all the money I’m spending, it’s stuff that I needed anyway. New clothes, new shoes, medicine (lol). And I got a haircut, which of course was needed. I feel so accomplished because this was my second haircut of the year. I rarely get more than one haircut a year, so I feel all girly. I took my sister along too, and so we both got our haircuts at the same time. We’ve both got complicated heads of hair that makes stylists groan. And even though my sister had a ton of hair to come out, detangle, and cut off, my haircut still took longer. Oh well. And for all my worries about my hair thinning out, which I think it is, the stylist went off on me about how much hair I have. So that’s good I guess.

Anyway, after haircuts, we went to eat dinner in the foodcourt and then did some shoe shopping. I bought another pair of shoes to replace the shoes I recently photographed. Those devil shoes killed my feet. Unbelievable. So I got some gray Eccos that feel amazing on my feet.

Nothing feels better than a good haircut that you like!

Aug 20 2009: Eyeballs

Not much to report from today. I stayed at work until 7 p.m. because I was cruising on the project I was working on. When I came home I got right into my work out clothes and worked out. So needless to say, after all of that, I was exhausted. The only thing to note is that I got new contact lenses a little while ago, and I’m pleased to report that they are working a lot better than my last set. I’m able to wear them to work and that does a lot to help me feel more confident.

When my dad talks about contacts, he always calls them eyeballs.

My plans got a little rearranged for the night, and then it turned out that Marissa came over. We ended up having a very girly night together and even painted our nails and toenails. I love whenever we can do that!

One of my favorite things…
My showerhead. I bought this last fall at Costco. It’s a fancy one with all kinds of settings and such. Well lately, I love it so much more than ever because of how therapeutic it can be after a hard work out on my EA Sports Active.

This shower head has ruined me for sub-par showering.

EA Sports Active: Week 1 Review

This week I did my four scheduled workouts on EA Sports Active. It’s part of the preset 30-Day Challenge, that comes with the software. So far, so good! I am immensely enjoying the workouts I’m getting and I’m consistently impressed with the system and how much I sweat.

After my first day, the muscle hangover was mighty! I struggled getting up and down the stairs and my thighs just burned all day. It seemed impossible to work out the second day, but I did it anyway. Sure enough, once I really got moving, the burn dissipated, and I was really moving. The rest day was nice, and then I was back at it on Thursday and Friday. I ended up burning around 600 calories all together, and I can feel muscles operating that I had forgotten.

Each work out adds intensity and diversity. Some of the exercises I’ve totally mastered, others, such as the inline skating, I’m still struggling at. I can’t wait to see what else it has in store.

So tonight begins week two, and will be my fifth work out. I’m genuinely looking forward to it. I still very much recommend it to anyone who has a Wii!
