The Skinny of It

Since I've been married I have really began to struggle more than ever with my weight. I hate it so much! I've been doing the Jillian Michaels 30 day shred about 2-3 days a week...pretty pathetic. But if I even have a stomach ache I can't do it or I feel like I'm going to puke. I've been trying to find other ways to make myself feel beautiful again because this feeling has GOT TO GO! I was watching the "Single Ladies" video today just because. I really admire Beyonce and like a lot of what she stands for. She likes to eat and likes to have thighs. I noticed her thighs look a lot like the size of mine and decided to look up her stats. Turns out this perfect world view of perfection is in fact 5'3'' (same as me) and weighs an average of  145lbs. (I'm close). She is one of the world's most beautiful people and I don't know a person who thinks otherwise. Realizing I'm the same size as her brings me hope! If Beyonce is beautiful so am I!

It's beginning to look a lot like...

Moving!
It has not seemed real to me for quite some time that we're actually moving. I've been counting down the weeks but it has not occurred to me until we've been selling things. I sold our dresser this morning and it all hit me! We're really moving! We're gonna have to search for furniture again and do the whole thing. I am so excited to be moving on and finding a new adventure. 8 weeks!!!!

Workout Ninja

I've decided like many others to lose some weight this year. I've tried the Jillian Michael's 30 day Shred before but have decided to do it for reals this time. My first day: I'm feeling good, ready to lose weight and get my butt kicked. First warm up: jumping jacks. The very first jumping jack I do and I break through the floor!!!! Nothing says "You're Fat!" like breaking through the floor. Granted the board has been squeaking since we've lived here and the house was built in 1908 but still.
 I didn't break through the carpet but completely broke through the particle board. We opened up the carpet and found that our owner had cut a massive hole in the carpet to put in the air duct. Brandon being amazing and our friend Daniel also being amazing were able to come up with a contraption to fix the floor. We should be good now but I still won't do jumping jacks on that board. One can only be told they're fat once!

The Hair

Brittany Hudson is my awesome hair lady! While she wasn't in Rexburg I had the beauty school in town do it and was not pleased with the results. She is finally back and I got her to cut it and LOVE IT!!!! I'm still wanting to grow it out again but for now it's great. Here are some pics of it. The day she cut it is in the Asian Theme Night post. Gosh I'm soooo white this time of year! lol

Asian Theme Night

We were having an uneventful Saturday but felt like cooking something interesting. We were feeling Asian so with the help of e-how.com and my limited cooking knowledge we were able to make some orange chicken. We turned it into a themed date night complete with eating on the floor and chopsticks. It was a lot of fun and quite easy. For the recipe visit here. It was pretty good. I like the sauce thicker so I added cornstarch but didn't boil it long enough so it was a little bit starchy.

Note: Brittany cut my hair on Saturday and I'm rocking my cute new cut in the picture. See next post

Please don't mind the mess. It was clean from my view. (Considering the junk was all behind me) haha
