Trials of a Long Haired Girl

As you may know, I have been dealing with a frozen shoulder since December of last year.  I'm still going to therapy for it.  It occurred to me, as I have this week off, that I need to quit making excuses for my bad behavior  (not eating any veggies or fruit) or lack of behavior (i.e. tracking, working out, etc.) because of my shoulder and then I got sick.  There is no way that I will hit goal if I keep going this way.  I still had two gift cards from the holidays so I decided that I was going to give in and use them the way I had been thinking about for some time.  One of my best friends has a FitBit and loves it!  I decided that is how I would spend my gift cards.  Today, after Family Zumba at the Y (more on that in a minute), we walked from our house to Radio Shack so I could FINALLY pick one up!  I have it all set up now and I'm so excited!  It monitors sleep, how many steps you take, if you take the stairs and how many flights you t...

11)  Do you enjoy cooking?  I enjoy baking more than cooking, but I do enjoy cooking with my husband. 12)  Do you have children?  Yes, three.  Two sons and a daughter. 13)  What are your favorite hobbies?   I enjoy singing.  I enjoy bowling, but don't get to do it as often as I used to.  Dancing is always fun and the kids are used to seeing me dance around the house! :-) 14)  Would you consider yourself to be shy or outgoing?  I used to be very outgoing, but I've noticed the more weight I have put on, the more introverted I have gotten.  My goal is to find the old me! 15)  If you could change one thing about yourself, what would you change?  I would try to be more open minded about different workouts. 16)  Who is your favorite actor/actress?  It's hard to narrow it down to just one.  There are several that are just amazing.  Eliza Dushku, Piper Perabo, Christopher Goram, Audrey Hepburn, Jimmy ...

1) What is one of your favorite ways to spend a Saturday? We spend our Saturdays planning meals and shopping for them.  Beginning next weekend, the local Farmer's Market will be open every other weekend and I'm excited to go for the first time! 2) List your top three favorite TV shows.  It's hard to narrow it down to 3, but I enjoy watching Biggest Loser, Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice. 3) Would you rather be in pictures or take them? Though I’m not crazy about the way I look, I love to be in pictures. 4) Why do you blog? I started blogging because I wanted to hold myself accountable and remember where I started, but now my blog is a part of me.  If someone said to me “You can’t blog anymore” I think I’d fall apart.  I love to encourage and be encouraged. 5) Share five websites that you visit regularly… ~ weightwatchers.com ~ twitter ~ sparkpeople.com ~ pinterest ~ A few different news sites. 6) If you could have lunch with one person from yo...
