Hair cut for a cause

My dear friend Shanan did a brave thing today, she cut her hair off - and I mean all of it! She had really long hair and decided to let it grow longer than usual and then donate it to Angel Hair for Kids. I'm really proud of her wanting to be part of such a worthy cause, but also for following through. So many times we aspire to do 'the right thing' but fall short - not my Shanan!!

I looked and looked for a 'before' pic and the only one I can find are some workout pics (we DON'T look good in those) and this one from New Years Eve - which really doesn't show you her hair very well, but here goes:

On to other things, today's workout (Booty Boot Camp) was all tabata - all the way babe!

• step ups (on a plyo box) right leg
• step ups (on a plyo box) left leg
• calves tobata - up and hold, up/down pulse, toes in with up/down pulse, toes out with up/down pulse
• deadlift tobata - I included a 20 Lb kettlebell in each hand to make it harder

While the rest were cooling down I grabbed a 30 pound kettlebell and practiced some double handed swings, single armed swings and alternating swings. This was more for my form than anything. I've really been thinking about my form these days and trying to pin point what I can do to improve it.

The rest of the day was good, and I've been contemplating my eating habits - which have vastly improved. Its become easier to eat healthy, and I find I'm craving the sweets less and less. Its starting to become habit. This will be put to the test Wednesday to Friday of this week as I'm heading out of town for a conference. We all know that eating on the road, and while away is difficult but I'm feeling good about it. I'm also going to pack some snack foods as I think this will be the downfall of the trip. I plan to bring my skipping rope and sneakers so I can go for  run and exercise while I'm away - or aleast that's the plan.

Ok, now I really have to go pack my bags!!!
