Yesterday morning, I had the overwhelming desire to weigh myself. And, if you would kindly reference my previous post, I no longer have a scale (threw that bitch in the garbage!) so... it was kind of like withdraws for my morning disappointment?
I was... less than perfect on the 4th and I feel like I'm carrying a little extra.. umm.. "fluff" right now. So, it was refreshing to not feel obligated to give myself some momentum (sadness?)
So, then I got up & got my ass to the gym. My Monday morning work out was a 30 minute elliptical workout on the interval setting.
Then followed by 15 minutes of an upper body circuit strength training & can we talk about gym hair real quick?
A quick Google search of gym hairdo's would lead one to believe that it is at all possible to have cute hair while working out.

I tried to do something like this side french braid for a yoga class, but I was sweating so much that it looked so effing gross. Also, when you're laying on your back that pony tail is awkward & uncomfortable that I just ended up taking it down & doing a top bun-type thing.
Oh. My God. Pigtails get so damn sweaty. It's freaking gross. Like one time I was doing mountain climbers & sweat was dripping OFF OF MY PIGTAILS onto the mat.
I mean, it was just gross.
But one time I had the braided tails like this pictures at a boot camp & when jumping rope the braids kept hitting my shoulder and sweat was just a-popping off everywhere & it was gross & uncomfortable so I had to stop in the middle of the workout to put my hair in a top bun-type thing.

Ok, have you ever tried to work out with your hair down? Fucking retarded. Doesn't make any damn sense. It's uncomfortable & hot & if you're anything like me you're a gross sweating mess within the first 5 minutes & your hair is sticking to the back of your neck.
HEY! HERE'S THE REALITY
The truth isn't always pretty
Ok, let's talk about other things.
I don't really know if what's moving & a-shaking up at the Texas capital is big news everywhere else, but yesterday- I partook in some politics.
Now, this is not a political blog, but SB1 is an important bill & which way it goes (yay or nay) is very, very important to me.
If you have no fucking idea what SB1 is about you can educate yourself further here, here, or kill hours on twitter with #swtw

Wendy Davis. Mother of Dragons (and if you don't watch Game of Thrones... just go ahead & gtfo)
I don't feel the need to voice my exact opinion on the matter here & now- if you know me at all you know how I feel & I'd be happy to discuss it with your further (unless you want to argue angrily, in which case I have no opinion on this or any other matter. Would you like some tea? Let's drink tea & talk about shopping). I will say this: I look really good in burnt orange.
I now realize that I'm kind of making a "derp"-y face (for a lack of a better term) in this picture to the left, but don't I look cute when exercising my democratic muscles?
Also, I've never owned anything burnt orange (somehow I've lived in ATX for 4 years & managed to never go UT nutty) & had to borrow this dress from a friend- Thanks Ashley!
It was excitingly boring. I stood in line for about 3 hours to cast my ballot. You could register with a ballot for or in opposition of the bill. You could also register to testify in written or spoken form. After casting my opinon I went around & watched the masses. Some had sings. Some had pamphlets & words.
There. were. a lot. of feelings.
I'll leave you with some images from this whole ordeal. Some I took myself. Some I did not. Enjoy:
