My First Cardio

So, I'm re-working out at the gym on base. I didn't realize exactly how awesome the gym was at Sheppard until I went to this one and found that I kept looking for basketball players wearing short shorts and tall socks. It's old. One can count the spots with peeling paint and mold to time with the music. But we work with what we have. I went to the "circuit training" class after, well, a long time of not doing any cardio. I was proud to discover that I have a good solid 30 minutes of cardio in me where I can jog, do jumping jacks, etc. and still look cool. After that, when the instructor says something like "Okay, now it's time for sprints! Great job everyone! Now double-time!" My brain shuts off and my body screams "Is she kidding!?! I. just. want. to. breathe." But today I was very thankful for my cardio class and I'll tell you why.

I got this new shampoo Aubrey Organics Honeysuckle Rose which I've been meaning to try for a while. I'm going no sulfates with my shampoos and reaping the benefits of fabulously low maintenance great hair. Anyway, the shampoo smells like honeysuckle - really nice! But walking the dog today, I kept being followed by HUGE BEES!!! Not so scary until I remembered that my hair was what they were after! Not keen on bees possibly landing in my hair, I ran back home!

Thank you for cardio.

You are so funny! Where did you find your shampoo? I am always looking for anything that aids in low maintenance style!

Actually, the low maintenance part comes with washing less with shampoo (I only shampoo about once a week) I use conditioner to "wash" my hair the other times. It's better too if it's a conditioner with no proteins (silicones, etc) which create buildup by coating your hair with silkiness. So, I use the Aubrey Organics (bought it at Vitamin Shoppe) to wash my hair with conditioner resulting in healthy, low-maintenance (less steps) hair that I let air dry and curls (better curling from better moisturized hair) nicely. Sorry, for the slight rambling, Tyne. It's kinda hard to synthesize a bunch of research in a comment section.
