Nails of The Day - OPI Jade is The New Black

Please excuse my un-manicured nails! I wore these nails for the longest time and I think this color has got me the most compliments! Jade is the new black from OPI is definitely one of my favorite colors now. I usually always wear mostly black and it really added a nice accent to my daily wardrobe.
Sorry for the lack of posts lately. Zoe has started her solid foods and teething so after work has just been Zoe time! I took her pictures with the Easter bunny yesterday and it was so much fun to see her laugh. I really wanted to get her ears pierced but her Dad was not on board and we always make sure we are both 100% ok with our decisions so for now it is a no go. :(

Ok I am going to be very bold and state that I need to start getting healthy. I feel like such a sloth. After I had Zoe I would run everyday and I lost all of my baby weight and more. I felt so much healthier and alive! Ever since I went back to work it has been hard finding time to work out. I feel so guilty leaving Zoe for 8 hours + so I just want to spend all my time with her when I come home. I still have not given into temptation and drink soda. I have been Soda-Free since Nov. 2010 yay! But I still feel like I am eating like a pig. I gained all my weight back and I really feel down. I need to stop looking at that number on the scale and start doing this for a healthier Shannyn. I don't want to be the tired mom that can't keep up with her kid. I need to set an example for my daughter. As of today I will start eating better and find time to squeeze in a run here and there. I have to do this! I will be checking in from time to time to let you all know of my progress to a healthier lifestyle. I feel better putting this out there in public. That way I can know that I am setting my goal and I need to stick to it! Here is my "Before" picture. I wore this when I went to WonderCon and I felt so huge and bloated the entire day!

BEFORE - April 2011

Getting Healthy

It has been the best concert I have ever seen. This year I have been to quite a lot of concerts this year. I saw Lily Allen, Santigold, Britney Spears (Twice) & No Doubt! No Doubt by far gave the best show. They were amazing live. They got the crowd going and it was just epic. The Sounds were also very good as well! I remember getting chills every time another song came on.

Hmm.....so on Saturday morning as I was working, a manager approached me and asked if I wanted to come help out at the No Doubt concert in Mountain View! My jaw literally dropped. I was going to have the chance to see them again and for free!? I was so excited oh man. It was a lot of fun. We had our stand and it was a lot of fun & then we got to see the show. It was sold out and crazy crowded but it was so much fun!


Seeing No Doubt twice in the same week=EPIC!

I'm going to start exercising everyday. I feel so lethargic and I know I need to start being more active. Last night I did a quick 3 mile jog after work. I'm starting to feel a lot better. I know I have it in me to succeed. I'm going to simply focus on myself now and start getting my life back on track.

I can do this!
