So, since coming back to Colorado, I've been working at turning over some new leaves. :) A lot of these are related to physical health, but some of these are related to finance or just plan lifestyle goals. Let me share through a few pictures . . .
Since coming back, I've been working really hard to eat healthy stuff. My stomach was not too happy the first few weeks I returned from Laos, and as I started changed my diet, I've felt SOOO much better. I love putting good stuff in my body. I've cut out lots of carbs, and do lots of fun salads! Breakfasts are protein fruit shakes these days- and they are SO filling, plus they are great to drink on the way to work in the car. Propel water and CLIF bars- two thumbs up. I've also gotten hooked on a WONDERFUL (and free) app. on my phone (although anyone can use it online) called "MyFitnessPal"... it helps you track your calorie intake and has great features like the ability to look up different restaurants as well as a scan bar that automatically enters calories for you! Several friends have already started using it and everyone loves it.
I am still working to get my hair healthy again. After bleaching it blonde for 10 years, I've gotten some shocked responses to my brown hair... but it really is closer to my natural color now! I'm getting used to it, and am excited to have healthier hair (and hopefully save a bit of $$ too). This picture was taken in Wisconsin after my teammate Sarah Laack's rehearsal dinner: left to right = Linda, Myrna, Sarah, me, and Bethann. Fun to see friends from Laos again!
Are you turning over any new leaves these days?!

Where is the lunch box from? I'm working on taking more lunches into work too. :)
You should check out the Sonoma Diet. It's all about healthy eating (not a diet) and the "power" foods you should focus on consuming most. I have a copy and can mail it to you if you want!
That is awesome Suzy, I've been trying to make improvements in my diet/exercise/life for a while. Somethings stick, others don't. I love your lunch box. It's so cute. I've been looking for one since Chris and I just use plastic bags (and are not fun at all). Keep up the good work!
Way to go, Suz! Sounds like you're having fun with those things! I hope re-entering is going well. Still think of you and miss you from Austin! I think I'm inspired to turn over some new leaves in this new place.
