    80% of the things you worry about never happen
    10% happen, but are never as bad as you anticipated,
    10% you have NO control over!!

    LOVE ^

    I wear my hair short short too...not quite as short as yours...mine is pretty short and it is naturally curly...so I blow dry it and then spike it a bit. I dont color mine either...I think it looks better on me, not to...unless they can get it so that it does not look fake, it's better natural. My wrinkles and no gray just do not go. Know what I mean?

    I promise to be back later to update miles. I have a goal of 125 and yikes, I am so behind no excuses. Up early today to get to the bike...so I had better head over there now.

    Hope everyone has a good day.

    PS My biggest stumbling block had been my insomnia. But since moving to my new apartment May 2015, I am doing so much better. Still have occasional sleepless nights, but nothing like before. It might also have something to do with my dwindling credit card debt. Stress is a killer for sure.

    Toodles for now sweet peeps.

    Looks like everyone has had a busy week. I've charged my fitbit 3x this week, including today...thank goodness I was out at a concert until almost 2 am and had a pretty long walk after midnight to start my "day."

    I'm not doing as badly as I expected when I looked back at the week. They are also starting a challenge at work, so I'm going to join that and hopefully have some additional motivation to move!

    As of 1st - 1.99
    2 - 5.35
    3 - 4.68
    4 - 1.02
    5 - 2.61
    6 - 3.34
    7 - 2.31
    8 - 2.17
    9 - 7.66 (long day of hanging out downtown, dancing, and lots of walking between dinner, venue, and our seats!)

    Total = 31.13

    HAGD sweet peeps. <3

I will feed my company the last of the retirement cake and thank goodness there is no left over birthday cake at my house!! Some days I have no will power but the gross coating in my mouth that will last for a couple days will strengthen will power for a couple weeks...lol
