Haircut!

Well, I did it.  I cut my hair!  Post-wedding haircut, how I love you!  It's so much easier.  Here's a pic of the new hair - we were all dressed up for a Mardi Gras Ball.  And hey - there's Simon in the background!

Fitness Blah

Since I haven't posted about this in awhile, you can assume it's not going well.  But actually, I'm not sure how it's going, since our scale broke and it's just not important to me how much I weigh, as long as I'm making healthy choices.  I think a lot of the time, we get caught up in the numbers when we really should be paying attention to the quality of the food we are eating.

So that's my new focus.  I'm not caring much about calorie count or how much I weigh.  What I'm paying attention to is whether or not I'm getting the right veggies, fruits, and other foods I need to stay healthy.  I think that's going to be a better plan anyway.

Married Life

As you know, we got married at the end of October.  Now, we are in the month of February, our 4th month of being married.  I have to say, I love it!  Jon is truly the most wonderful person in the whole world and I love being his wife.  He is supportive, loving, helpful, and sexy.  :)

We have so much fun, whether we are playing a game or just sitting around watching TV, or lying in bed, laughing about the dogs or something that happened during the day.

This is so different from my first marriage.  The ex was nice and all, but he was never really supportive and never really showed love or affection.  And he was so critical of me, especially in the last year.  Jon is never critical.  If he has some kind of constructive criticism, he gives it with tact and care.

I'm so happy to have finally found (and married) this man, who is perfect for me in every possible way.  :)

House Hunting!

Well, it looks like we will be looking for a house to buy!  We were thinking seriously about buying the house we were renting, but with the market being what it is and the amount of work the house needs, we know they are asking too much and we can do a lot better if we just look around first.  So we are going to look at houses and neighborhoods this weekend.  We signed a new lease (just for six months this time) so we will have some time to find something.  Expect some fun "house hunting adventures" posts.

I can't wait to find our home.  And then comes the moving (not looking forward to that part) and the decorating (much better) and settling in.  I am so excited!  Our goal is to find a good house in a nice neighborhood with a back yard (preferably fenced.)  I can't express how excited I am about this next phase in our lives.

Fitness Update

So Monday was a holiday, so I'm lumping it in with the weekend of bad choices.  I'm still mad at myself for that.   I was just so tired - didn't have any energy at all.  I've been having that problem the last few days, actually.  The first week of my healthy lifestyle, I had all this energy.  But now I just seem to be tired all the time.

Tuesday I stayed within my calorie limit and did 30 minutes on the ellipitcal.
Today I stayed within my calorie limit and we walked the dogs (went around the block 3 times rather than  our usual 2)
