Favorite text this past week

I received this text on Friday when I got home from my trip. It still makes me smile. I wonder what other modes I have yet to experience when these two are left home alone.

On travel

This week I have been on travel for work. Besides missing a few important people in my life I have missed riding my bike. I have been working out everyday while away just so I don't lose what I am working towards. I cannot wait to be back in the comfort of my own home and life.

Reupholstering a little something

Yesterday afternoon my mom called and said she was coming over and needed my help with something. I am not going to lie. I was a little nervous to see what she needed help with. She brought over a seat from a chair she just bought and needed help reupholstering it. It only took about 45 minutes to do.

February exercise summary

I am hoping to sum up my exercise at the end of each month. I believe in January I worked out a total of 3 times for a grand total of 4.5 hours. The end of January I signed up to do the MS 150. Which meant I needed to get my rear in gear and start training. I am pretty happy with my overall workouts for the month of February. To go from practically nothing to a motivational something is a step in the right direction. Every week I have been able to do better than the week before. I know there are more days ahead in March so we shall see what kind of magic I can work.

January - 

Hours: 4.5

Hair Update - Week 1

It has been one week since I started working on growing out my hair. I am not going to take any pictures or measure anything until at least week 3. I am pretty realistic and know that in one weeks time there wouldn't be any more growth than normal growth. I have noticed that my hair is softer. My hair is naturally curly and when I do it straight it reminds me of a broom. Only in the sense that it looks dry and brittle. By no means am I about to do any kind of hair commercial but it feels softer than normal.

The one thing that I have found funny is that I look forward to washing my hair. It takes more time now that it ever had in the past. The other positive so far is I love the smell of the Ovation products.

I cannot tell you how much I have watched this video. Even our little guy likes to watch this. The kid in the video is amazing but the message behind it is even better. I figured I would post it here so I can go back and watch it whenever I need a little pick me up. You never know where inspiration can come from.

Working to be better

I normally don't make New Years resolutions. I think it comes back to not wanting to fail. This year I decided to do a few things over the year. None of these things are for the full year as far as duration goes. These are all smaller short term goals that I know I can achieve. So last week I randomly decided to start one or a couple of these things. So far so good for being a week into it.

At the end of the year I hope I can look back and be proud of myself. I have a feeling this year has a lot to teach me and I look forward to being a better person because of it.
