Phew!  I feel so much better!  I got my hair cut today and I feel like I've lost about 20 pounds.  (Not that I look that way, just feel it.)  It's cut pretty short because I'm trying to get the gray hair out from under the dye I've been using for the past several years.  I still have about 1 1/2 inches to go before I'm completely au naturel, but it's coming along.  Not too shocking, imho, but we'll see what everyone else thinks.  Dan hasn't noticed yet.

I also had a heck of a workout today with my trainer, Calin.  Calin is of African descent, has dreadlocks down to his booty and has a take-no-prisoners attitude about training.  He had me do the usual warm up, stretching and core exercises...then he got me to do --among other things--100 crunches (100!) and 35 push ups on the cable machine.  (I'd have to show you but believe me, it's harder than a regular pushup because you're balancing in midair on cables).  Then it was a super set of 30 overhead tricep thrusts and 20 bicep curls with an added 15 bicep curls using a 30 pound bar instead of a 20 pound bar.  This girl's gonna be sore tomorrow.

That's good though...because if I keep going like this, and implement my eating plan just a little bit more faithfully, I'll be "taking a load off." 
Other than that, not much to blog about today.  Just errands, appointments and a meeting to start the last phase of the Great Landscaping Project of 2007.  The only thing left to do is the "art"--copper cut outs of monstera leaves and a honu to go on top of the patio.  Oh!  I'll post some new photos below.

Can't wait till that project's done.  It will be (you guessed it) a big load off my mind.
