A lot off the top, a lot off the bottom!

If you remember I have a 30 before 30 list going on, and I am doing pretty good on the list!

It was finally time to do this one...

20.  Donate my ponytail to Locks of Love.

 It was time. I had done a few more things with my hair and then a certain 3 year old formatted the memory stick before I could put them on the computer. oh well. 

So, I went in and there were 3 other girls getting their tails whacked too!

I have 12 friends who donated 10 inches or more this year to locks of love!

 Here it is 19 inches for donation.

When I picked it up, it was still hot!

I guess I generated a lot of heat from that long ponytail!

Before I get to the actual cut, I need to post about something else.

After I had Mason, at my 6 week check up my OB said "I hate to say this but...I'll see you in a year!"

I realized at that point, I needed to make a change in my life.

So many of my friends have been on the get healthy band wagon and have been dropping weight and getting healthier. They are such an inspiration. I decided, that day - I was going to try it too.

My friend Stef is doing a 40 bag purge for lent and I said I was going to join her.

I have purged like crazy, and next on my list was my closet.

I went through my closet and this entire bed is full of clothes...

 THAT DON'T FIT ME ANYMORE!  

I have lost 38 pounds since my 6 week post partum check up. (Jan 16th)

That is 4 pant sizes, and over 20 inches all over my body. I even went down a few bra sizes!

I didn't do anything crazy, no silly diets, no pills, no injections, just watching what I eat and exercising - with my kids! I still get to eat cupcakes and aebleskivers, I just care about what and how much goes into my body now. I feel like a grown up! haha.

Because of that - ALL of my clothes are HUGE!

I would like to lose at least 6 more pounds and then maintain my new weight for a year.

If I do this - I will be smaller than I was when I was 21!

Darn, I snuck a peek of my hair, didn't I?

After I came home...I lost 2.8 pounds! In HAIR! hahahaha

Since my hair is really curly in real life, this cut will be perfect on the days I don't dry it!

And - it still fits in a pony tail!

I need a few days to figure it out, but I really like it. 

What do you think?
