Books and Hair

Good Morning Party People,

Today is a good day, the sun is shining, the birds are singing and i'm having a good hair day! (BONUS) I bought new hair product yesterday, and I was trying to decide between two different brands - the deciding factor was: the product was Vegan! (WHAT WHO AM I) I feel as though now that i'm on this healthy journey, it's not only changing my perspectives on food but on everything! It's Crazy. After I bought it, I thought WHOA, two months ago I wouldn't have even noticed something like that little own care about it. Loving this stage of my life, loving the movement and change, loving the results. 

I ordered 3 books today from thriftbooks.com (they are used books that they sell and ship for next to nothing!) All 3 of my books including shipping cost 24$. Here are the books I just ordered, if anyone would like to borrow them when i'm done let me know. 

- What are you hungry for? by Deepak Chopra

- A year to live by Stephen Levine

- The monk who sold his ferrari by Robin Sharma

I'll do a little review of each book once I finish them! Can't wait till they get here!

Inches Count

Hello Cheeseburger Lovers,

I'm So pumped for my next incentive! Only 2 more pounds till I can get my hair done! (thank goodness, you are starting to see my grey's!) Any Suggestions on where I should go? I just want it dyed. (A light brown. As I'm growing my hair.) 

Incentive List: 
5lbs: New Sneakers
0lbs: Fun Work out top
15lbs:  LuLu Lemon Pants
20lbs: Hair done
25lbs: Jeans 
30lbs: Dress (for Ruth's Wedding-October 3rd) (Secret Goal 15 more pounds by October)
35lbs: All new Bras/Underwear
40lbs: Bathing Suit
45lbs: Trip to Mexico
50lbs: Tattoo
60lbs: New Wardrobe  

I changed up my incentives a little. I'm planning on getting a larger tattoo then originally anticipated, so I thought I should make it a harder target. (Closer to my target weight, I'll post pictures) I also, took out Food Processor  (Let's be real, I can buy that without an incentive.) I added a Dress for one of my good friends weddings! (Something gorgeous, that makes you feel good!) Loving both of these. (Obviously, not in white though) 

I also thought i'd chat today about my measurement goals along with my weight goals. I have lost a total of 11 inches! Mostly off my hips (5 inches)

My Inches before I started this Journey 45-39-49

My Inches currently: 42-36-44

My goal is to get them to, 38-28-40 (which I don't feel is too unreasonable, the waist is going to be the hardest) Hips seem to be the easiest so far! 

Total Inches at the end of this Journey will hopefully be: 7 off my Bust, 11 off my Waist & 9 off my Hips! With a GRAND TOTAL LOSS OF: 27 INCHES!

My 10lbs Goodies & My Sweet Husband

Hello Fellow Cheeseburger Lovers,

I have forgotten to post pictures of my 10lbs incentive presents! So here they are! My sweet and lovely husband thought just a work out top was not a big enough incentive so he bought me my first pair of work out leggings too!

I must say I was a little self conscious prancing around in these in the gym, but they are so gorgeous I couldn't help myself! And I obviously love that the outfit matches my new Sneakers! My 15lbs incentive was new work out pants, so I think i'll count these as those as well!

Thank you Beth, for working out with me the last two days! My Buns and Arms have never wanted to hurt you more!(haha, just kidding - even though they do feel like they are going to fall off.)

I wanted to tell you guys, I went for my first run last night (3km) and I ran the entire time! I couldn't breath afterwards but I did it! I have a new recipe for you all to try! It's ridiculously tasty! It takes 10 minutes to make and it makes so much that you could eat it all week! 

Quinoa & Bean Salad

2 cups of quinoa

1 orange pepper

1/3 red onion

1 can of black beans

1 can of corn

Juice from 1 large lime

2 tbs of Olive Oil

Chili Powder to taste

Garlic Powder to taste
