The rapid weight loss I saw last week with the bulletproof coffee has slowed, but I am continuing to start my morning with it most mornings. I like what it does to my energy level and the absence of hunger that I have when I have this for breakfast. And it is so yummy. It is hard to believe till you experience it, but when I take the lid off the blender, it is the most wonderful aroma. A little moment of heaven. :)
Been trying to get in the HIIT on my exercise bike three times a week. I had been consistently hitting 2X's per week, but I want to step it up a notch. When I first starting this, I couldn't do the full 20 minutes. I would do about 12 to 15 minutes, and be wiped out the rest of the day, and into the next day. I used to also have the resistance level 4 levels lower than I do now. So progress has been made. But I would like to push it a bit further, and see how this goes. I also started doing a plank for as long as I can hold it after the bike. So far I am still under a minute. But doing twice as long as I used to! Ya gotta start somewhere, and that's what I am doing. :)

Grateful for:
The gorgeous weather we have been blessed with the last week or so. Cool nights. Sunny days. Not as humid. Some rain here and there.

My CSA. Delicious veggies aplenty each week. This week I had a lemon cucumber in my pick-up. Never heard of it before, but fun to try new things out!

My fresh brewed glass of white chai iced tea. Yum!

My progress so far, and how committed I feel on a deep level to this new way of eating, and taking care of myself in so many other ways.

My family.

Just over a week ago, I got my hair cut....dramatically short. Actually, the cut that you see in my profile pic. Before, it was about shoulder length, will some layers. I didn't want to take a picture of myself with that do, because I was trying to grow out my experiment with dying my hair.

I started getting a few grey hairs here and there when I was 18. By the time I was 30, I had streaks of grey. I didn't mind it, although a few times, I was convinced to try to dye it, and tried it but never liked it. But about 6 months ago I had one of those moments when I caught a quick glimpse of my reflection, and was shocked at how much grey I had. Whoa! The grey/white was outnumbering the dark hair. It made me look older than I felt. So I dyed it. And promptly hated it. But I wanted to believe that I would eventually come to like it better. Nope. I kept with it for a few months, but then decided I hated it. I started to let it grow out, but then I was getting the skunk look, with the white stripe down the center of my head. Not a look anyone can love. Finally I decided I had enough. I would cut it short, and go back as far as I could, to my natural color.

You should have seen the look of panic on the woman at the salon when I told her what I wanted. I assured her that if I didn't like it, I would not blame her. This one was on me. It was a shock at first, but I have come to love it. It is SO easy to take care of. A quick tousle of my hair in the morning, and I'm good to go. And, my husband, who is not one who has compliments spilling off his tongue with any great regularity told me it makes me look younger and thinner! Could he have said anything better? How could I do anything but love it! And it shows off my earrings. :)

So, I got here kind of accidentally, but I am loving it. It is funny how things work out that way sometimes.

Thankful for the rain and the cooler weather.
A bountiful collection of eggs, veggies and herbs from the CSA today.
A delicious salad made from goodies from the CSA.
My new look!
