Getting into the Spring of Things

I was looking at pictures this morning from last year and came across this picture taken in March of 2008.

I was taken a back by how different I look now.

This picture was taken on March 14, a year later.

It's crazy how much changes in a year. My hair is SO long. This is the longest it has ever been. (And my face and other areas of the body have filled out a little since then.)
Since I haven't looked for a hairstylist here, I really haven't thought of cutting my hair.
At this rate it will be to my hiney by 2009 ;)
Of course the hubs always looks handsome. And I don't think he's gained any weight.

This got me thinking, it's time to get my hiney back into shape. Moving over seas has definitely taken a toll on my body and I don't feel like my old self anymore. I lack in energy, have gained 10 pounds since moving here, continue to gain, and I know I definitely eat more here. But can you blame a girl, the only thing to eat in this country is bread and Bratwurst ;)
No not really.... it's my own fault for sure.
I was doing so well before we left for Austria, then I totally lost my routine and stopped working out.

I have seen so many of you ladies getting back into the gym and taking better care of yourself. It is definitely time for Jon and I to incorporate exercise into our daily routine. We do eat pretty darn healthy, but not exercising is definitely the problem.

Here's the speed bump.... I HATE going to the gym. Despise it with a passion. I've mentioned in previous posts, that I will make any excuse under the sun to get out of going to the gym. Not to mention I really have been sick lately so it's hard to get motivated when you're not feeling well.

I think I'm finally done with the dizzies and now I really want to take exercising MORE seriously.
I think my biggest problem is going alone.
But Jon and I plan on doing this together and want to work out at least 4 nights a week.

ANY SUGGESTIONS???? How can we stay motivated to exercise? How can we keep exercising exciting? Any other suggestions would be awesome!

So off to another subject, Jon and I have become completely obsessed with Entourage.
We borrowed the first 4 seasons from friends and LOVE this show. I wish I had my own possy of friends to hang out with everyday, while I am making tons of money as an actress, and we could just spend money and play all day. A girl can dream. I love Jeremy Piven's character.
I can't wait for the 5th season to come out on DVD. HBO has the best television shows, seriously!
If you haven't seen it already, you should rent them. I highly suggest this show.

And another random subject.... my seedlings are doing awesome.
Check this out.

I haven't killed them yet, so I must be doing something right.
I will be planting peppers soon.

This weekend we are going to plant flowers to put on our balcony. I was walking the other day and saw that so many people had already planted flowers and had them all over their balconies, so I guess it is time. Plus spring will officially be here this weekend, Saturday! I am so happy Spring is here.

I hope you all enjoy your day! Tomorrow is Friday!
