{Routine Update: I’m changing my goals after hearing about how stretching in the morning can do more damage than good. I’ll update you next week- but the Miracle Ball Method is working!!! I’m not in nearly as much pain as I have been, and I’m a much happier camper.}
The past week I’ve been battling with something that I thought I had under control, and it’s been driving me nuts.

Ooff. Friends, if I thought that last week was rough I had no idea what was coming for me this week. I’m happy to report that I’m through to the other side though, and the tough stuff is officially done. And just in time! I was about to implode!
Let’s look at the practical stuff…

- I failed to walk the puppies for 20 mins in the morning five days a week

This first proper week of living in my new routine has been a Big Adjustment. I tried to prepare myself mentally, and I tried to remind myself that it takes a lot of work to get out of old habits and into new ones but the shock of waking up at 6:00 AM to do yoga is a little more rough than I anticipated. Even when I kind of mime my way though it! You would think that would at least make it easier.

My “Getting Healthy” Info
I’m Kyla Roma- a 24 year old Canadian prairie girl, blogger, life long vegetarian, puppy mama & thrifting addict. I’m new to Getting Healthy, and I’m really excited to kick this off. I’ve got high hopes & there’s a lot at stake for me!
1. As of the beginning of this project, what are your height and weight?
Right now I’m 5’7″ and I weigh 140 lbs. On me, that looks like this…

I’m quite fair, and my relationship with The Tan has always been a little tenuous at best.
In the summer I’ll come home with pink arms and nose from walking to the bus, which will go on until August when I stop turning pink, my we-were-Ukrainian-peasants-working-in-the-fields-four-generations-ago genes kick in an I am suddenly washed over by a deep sandy tan. Then in early October all the colour that has slowly accumulated in my cheeks washes clean off in one sitting and I’m back to a very pale & slightly pink square one.

Speaking of yesterday’s post, any haircut I survive relatively unscaled is a huge victory!
Before…

After…

I’m really enjoying the change & have banished my flat iron for a while. I’m not regressing if I’m rocking curly hair and straight bangs, am I?
Didn’t think so. It’s 80′s chic.
I’d had medium length hair for years. From grade seven on, I was shoulder length and by the time that grade twelve was over I was officially done with my old identity. I decided to take a year off school to recharge my batteries and enroll the next year with a totally new group of people in the hopes of starting some new friendships.
