Ok….. seriously…. you should see my hair.
Why is that your hair can one day be just wonderful …
and then suddenly the next day you wake up and it is too long, and doesn’t style right and well seriously….
My hair has been that way for over a week now. So today – yes today, at 5 pm, I am getting it cut and highlighted and I am beyond thrilled. I am actually bringing a picture of me from last April when I thought my hair was super cute…. (don’t laugh….. have you never done this?) I want my hair lady to take me back a year. 🙂
So any way – I am starting my morning at the gym because that’s the way I roll. OR – that’s the way I want to roll… and I need to get back into good habits. My friend Jennifer and I are starting a program today that we are calling the 3 -1 – 1. Based not only on the date… but also on 3 good meals, 2 healthy snacks a day…. 30 days to get to 4-1-1, and see our results. Since 3-1-1 adds to 5, we have to work out for a minimum of 5 hours a week.
So here’s to new starts – better fitness habits, and hopefully good hair.

I kind of need a haircut, too. But I haven’t found a stylist since we moved, and I hate going to a new person, who doesn’t know my hair.
Good luck following through with the exercise plan!
Thanks Hannah. 🙂
Of course!
Okay, I finally got your page when I clicked on the e-mail links! I don’t know what was going on, but I’m so glad to finally get here!
Interesting about the hair thing, since I’m going today to get mine styled, too.
My daughter is a stylist, so we’ve been working together to achieve “my best look.”
Isn’t it great how much better we feel after a new style?
Hope to see your photos afterwards!
Laurel, I answered you in the comment you left about it not working. I prepped this post last night and meant to hit draft and hit publish, that’s why you got the email. 🙂
I put it back to draft because I didn’t want it to go out until this morning. 🙂
I love the convoluted way you’re challenging yourself. I totally do things like this too. LOL!
LOL Kristen!
3-1-1 you are SO organized and motivated. I am organized, just can’t get the motivated going.
My book group chose The Next Thing on My List! You said you had a website to send me?

Yes! I am so excited for you! 🙂 I will send it in a bit…. Library book sale today and I have to stretch…LOL
Funny, today I am making an appt for a haircut this weekend – my hair is also out of control. okay… that’s a little much since it lives in a knot most of the time. It’s just easier that way, working from home I’m usually in yoga clothes and sporting a ponytail.
It’s snowing here today so I will be at the gym tonight – 1H 23M cardio (I will watch this weeks Biggest Loser). I just found this show a year ago… so motivating to workout to!
Have a great day
Biggest Loser was awesome this week (but I think I love it every week!) This episode reminded me that even when we are busy with other things we still have to find time to take care of ourselves.
Have a good work out tonight. I am going back to the gym after work for an hour with my friend Heidi.
I’ve been growing out my very short A line cut for the past 4 weeks and there have been days when I’ve about given in and made an appt to cut it again. I so understand the bad hair days right now lol
As you can see from the picture Zia I keep mine pretty short too. It is so thick that when it grows out I cant do a thing with it. I am looking forward to a fresh spring cut! 🙂
I have been exercising pretty dilligently for a few weeks now and haven’t lost a pound! That is pretty frustrating since I will be going on my Mexican vacation in just a few weeks. Although I have been exercising faithfully, I must admit that I haven’t really been dieting. So I stopped by our food co-op last night and picked up some healthier food items to help me get on track. We’ll see if it works!
That has been happening to my friend too Jo Jo. I think it is the eating part. We talked about that this morning…. she was telling me what she had for breakfast and we were discussing better choices/alternatives:
Eggo: Fat Free Crumpet
Fried Egg: 3 scrambled egg whites (no butter or oil)
Toast w/ butter: back to the crumpet
I had low fat Quaker Oatmeal and a banana
Sheila-one day when I was in trial-it was horrid hair day-I had to put so much spray in it-then it felt disgusting at night-so I stuck a hair band in my hair-well I am getting ready for bed and honestly-my hair was perpendicular to my forehead-flock of seagulls reunion here I come. I think it is the end of winter-too much dry heat effect.
Flock of Seagulls? LOL Esme…. I can picture it. 🙂
I HAVE brought a picture of myself from the past and asked my stylist to make me look like that again. Know what? She laughed and told me “that was 5 years ago…before you had a teenager. You’ll never look like that again.” Haha 🙂
My favorite time of year is this weekend, when we get to turn the clocks forward and get more daylight! Love it. And I’m loving my book – The Full Plate Diet. It’s so easy – no set meals, just high fiber foods and lots of water. I’ve already lost a few pounds. Cheers to you and 3-1-1. (Show us your new haircut tomorrow!)
Evil stylist Lynne… she must be fired. LOL 🙂
I seen your book The Full Plate Diet. I may need to find that one! 🙂
Good luck with your hair. I’ve had many days like that. Hope your day goes well!
Natalie ;0)
Natalie usually it seems like the day I have the appointment my hair looks fantastic and I question my decision to get it cut…. today….. that is not the case. 🙂
I’m going to try to eat healthier foods and exercise more (although I say that every year!)
LOL Margie… it is hard to stick to it – I know!
There’s a reward for you at my blog!!

It must be hair day, I too have an appointment today and boy do I need it.
I’m trying to eat better and just signed up for a 4 week boot camp to help get in shape for summer when I can have time to catch up on my reading.
Cindy a boot camp would be wonderful! Is that something you have locally? Is it an actual camp or a day workshop?
Just want you to know that I look forward to your posts- you make me LOL! I do think your hair is super cute in that photo.
A bad hair day is nothing to laugh about-yet we do-if we didn’t we would be crying our eyes out!
Thanks Tammy – I do like to laugh……. so why not bring people with me? 🙂
Spring is coming and I still have not got back to my exercise routine. I have to get there. I keep saying next week. I had planned on starting again last week, but I felt awful with this sinus infection that I didn’t start. Now, today, I will have to force myself to put the computer and books down for just an hour. I feel so much better when I do it – so I have to get to it again.
Best of luck with you 3-1-1 plan!
HI Melissa – I am the queen of procrastination. I think I put the “pro” in procrastination…..LOL …. I don’t feel well, its too late in the day, how can I justify working out when I have so many things to do at home, I will start tomorrow, next week, as long as I eat right I should book to miss a few days at the gym….
Thanks Melissa for the luck – i will need it 🙂
I need to start exercising. I also desperately need a hair cut. I have naturally curly hair and have had a hard time finding someone who can style it. It is way too long and shabby.
Pat – go have a make over day 🙂 I started back on track last week and I do already feel better for it. 🙂
