Hair, Nails, Home Improvement! Oh my!

Last weekend was a busy, fun-filled weekend! I did 3 things on my list!:

58. Get my hair cut and colored by Daniel.

49. Get a mani/pedi at least once a month.

56. Help Taylor fix up his new house.

On Friday, I went to see Daniel at Dej, the salon he works at. I hadn't see him in years, so it was nice to catch up! I had him just trim my hair and touch up the color. I was sure to tell him how important it was that i kept my hair long like I like it. He trimmed it and did some other fancy stuff, so I was pretty scared watching him cut my hair. I kept seeing so much hair fall to the ground. I was scared it was going to be way too short when he finished. So when he was done, I stood up and looked at the back, and all the length was still there! I cannot tell you how relieved I was too see my hair was still long. Unfortunately, I didn't take any pictures of my new cut, because I had to go straight to work from the salon.

Saturday morning, Jessica and I went to go get our nails done. I didn't get a mani/pedi, but I did get a full set with purple glitter tips. They look fun! Maybe next time we go to get our nails done, we'll go some place to get our toes done too. I've just been waiting for the weather to get better. With all these clouds everyday, I'm still wearing shoes, and there's no point in having fancy toes under closed shoes.

After getting my nails done, I drove down to Taylor's and waited for him to get off work. As soon as he was home, we were already working on his fireplace! I got to cut the slate with the power saw, and spackle them down! I felt very HGTV. All his walls, except for the kitchen, had been painted since the last time I saw the house. Everything is looking so good! The next time I see his house, his floors should be put in and then it'll really look like Taylor's house! On Sunday, we were going to go to the San Diego County Fair, but instead decided to go to Ikea and Bed, Bath, and Beyond. At Ikea, we got a table for against the wall in his living room and a vase to match one he already has. Then, we went to Bed, Bath, and Beyond, and some how spent $300!! We mainly just got things for the kitchen and both bathrooms. That stuff adds up really quickly apparently!

Oh, I almost forgot! I also bought a plant for my cubicle from Ikea. I'm already very attached to him. His name is Sherman. <3

Weekly Workout Regimen

#8. Start a weekly workout regimen.

So, I finally came up with a 3 day a week workout plan that I got from global-fitness.com. Everything is done at home with a resistance band. I think I'm going to switch up the routine every 2 months. Hopefully I don't slack off on this! This is my plan:

Monday- run/walk (Haven't decided yet how long or how far. I haven't gone running in a very long time, so I'm gonna need to start off easy!)

                 chest crossovers- set 1: 12 reps, set 2: 10 reps, set 3: 12 reps

                 lateral raise- set 1: 12 reps, set 2: 10 reps, set 3: 12 reps

                 shrugs- set 1: 12 reps, set 2: 10 reps, set 3: 12 reps

                 overhead tricep extenstions- set 1: 12 reps, set 2: 10 reps, set 3: 12 reps

                 crunches/hip raises/oblique twists- until tired

Wednesday- run/walk

                       squats- set 1: 12 reps, set 2: 10 reps, set 3: 12 reps

                       seated rows- set 1: 12 reps, set 2: 10 reps, set 3: 12 reps

                       bicep curls- set 1: 12 reps, set 2: 10 reps, set 3: 12 reps

                       wrist curls- sets 1-3: 15 reps

                       crunches/hip raises/oblique twists- until tired

Thursday- run/walk

Friday- run/walk

              chest crossovers- set 1: 12 reps, set 2: 10 reps, set 3: 12 reps

              lateral raise- set 1: 12 reps, set 2: 10 reps, set 3: 12 reps

              shrugs- set 1: 12 reps, set 2: 10 reps, set 3: 12 reps
