Weight

For those of you who don't know...I've been working my a** off to lose weight. I've lost 24 pounds since September. I know it sounds like very little to only lose 24 pounds in 7 months but it's been hard. I feel guilty going to the gym during the day because then I have to put Camren in the daycare there. I also feel guilty going during the weekend because I feel like I'm taking time away from Omar and the boys. So I've been going to the gym before I work. That means I wake up at 4:45am and go the gym at 5:15 and work out until about 6 then shower and get ready there and then go to work for 12 hours. It makes for a long day but this way I don't feel as guilty. I hate it that I don't get to see them before work but I see them afterwards. I'm also wearing the bodybugg. I really like it. It tells me how many calories I'm burning and I log my food intake so I know if I'm burning more than I'm consuming. I'm really proud of myself. I've accomplished my first goal which was to get down to pre-pregnancy weight. YEAH!!! Now, I have a new goal and I have 7 more pounds to lose to get to that goal. I've been making small goals so that it doesn't seem impossible. I like to tell myself that losing it slowly means that I'll be able to keep it off in the long run. Right??? Since I've been exercising, my asthma has definately decreased by a lot. I feel better too. Wish me luck! Oh, and if anyone wants to workout with me, I would love it. My workout partner moved away last month. Just let me know.

Haircut

I wanted a change before my 30th...I mean my 25th..birthday. My birthday is next week. I decided I wanted a bold haircut (bold for me anyway). I chopped most of my hair. It's about chin length. It's definately a big change for me. I love it though. It really is faster to style in the mornings especially when I get ready for work at the gym. Omar isn't really excited on the length but he hasn't said anything mean about it so that's good. I mean what can he say...it's not like it's his hair right??? I'm the one who has to style it and deal with it. I think one reason he doesn't like it is because it looks similar to Catrina's haircut. Oh well. What can I say we're twins. I will post pics once I've taken some. Just thought I'd update you. Have a nice weekend.
