New hair!

My most recent haircut… decided to go really short on the bangs for a new look. I like it!
Go away sore throat!
Aug 30th
My little guy has a bit of a cold that he’s (almost) passed on to me. I say almost because I woke up at 5:30 this morning with a really sore throat. Only that was not okay. You see, I have big plans this weekend with a friend of mine, so getting sick is absolutely not an option. So what am I doing about this sore throat? Well, I am willing my sore throat to go away. I am imagining that my antibodies are ninja-like warriors armed with grenade launchers and .50 cal machine guns, and the sore-throat germs are measly little peons wielding dull butter knives. Mind over matter, my friends. Let’s see who wins this.
Working my way back to pre-baby size
Jul 13th
I can’t remember if I’ve posted this picture before… As you know, I don’t post that many pictures of myself, but I’m thinking maybe I will post more once I get down to my weight-loss goal. You know, once I’m not so embarrassed to be seen anymore!
By the way, the weight loss is going GREAT. I have been working out like a beast (think 4x a week… working out so hard that my face turns beet red and sweat flies off of me in all directions!) for the past four months… I’ve lost 24 pounds and I’ve gone down three dress-sizes and counting! It’s hard work but it’s totally paying off. I push myself as hard as I can. I don’t shy away from the burn. Instead, I welcome it. I always say that if you don’t feel the burn, you’re not working hard enough! I work out so hard that it’s impossible for me to carry on a conversation. I’ve also modified what I eat as well… I’ve really cut back on processed foods and I’ve added more vegetables, fruits, lean meats, whole grains, etc. Basically, I’m just working out really hard and eating healthier. My motivation is not only for my health, but I want to be around for a while for my little boy.
Plus, looking better isn’t all that bad either!
I hate allergies

Good news is that I am feeling much better than I was the other day. Bad news is that even though my symptoms have subsided, I am still sick! And oh yeah, did I mention the STOPPED-UP EARS? Oh I didn’t? Well let me tell you. Having stopped-up ears is driving me INSANE. I can’t hear a darn thing. My husband is a mumbler, so I’m sure you can imagine how our conversations go.
Paul: moving mouth but not words coming out
Me: “HUH?”
Paul: Blah blah blah I still can’t hear him
Me: “What? Speak up, please!”
Paul: “I SAID I LOVE YOU!”
Me: “You crave cashews??”
Paul: ???
Me: !!!
