Week 7 (and weekend roundup)

Man I had a great weekend.  Starting with this...

Photo: Nothing makes me feel like a runaway like a new set of BANGS!

That would be new bangs.  And my roots done.  Because I was all looking like this...

...having to cover up my dark roots.  Do you ever see pictures of yourself and are all "is that what I look like?"  Time for a change.  Who knew I had big ole wrinkles?  


Well now they're all covered up.  

That night I took my girls to my mom's house and went to my brother's junior prom with my parents and Sophie.  It brought back memories!  And another reminder of "can I really be this old?"  (And no, my mom's head isn't 4 times bigger than mine.  She was just right by the camera).



I bet you're all wondering about my new month-long vegan lifestyle.  It's actually pretty great and not that hard.  I mean, what fiber does to your tummy aside, it's not bad (Morgan gets so mad if I make the car stink).  I'm not going to stick with it completely after the month because I happen to think there is nothing wrong with eggs and meat in moderation.  But I have been more aware of my caloric intake since I started one week ago.  

If anyone is following my workout plan, we are on week 7 now.  That means we are going to start upping our cardio and lifting lighter weights with more reps.  We will also lower our calories a little.  So if you are eating 1600 calories, try doing 1400.  The whole purpose of this is... now that you have built your muscles, it's time to let them burn the fat off of your body.  Lifting lighter with more reps will keep your muscles strong but you won't be building as much as you were the past 6 weeks.  Lowering your calories and increasing cardio will just ensure that your body uses more fat to fuel itself, leaving you leaner and able to fit into those cute summer shorts.  

Here is my workout plan this week.

  1. I love the bangs!

    I need a change. My hair is just blah. But I don't know what I want to do. First world problems, huh?
