Weekend of firsts

This weekend's theme was all about stepping out of routine comfort zones and trying new things. Saturday was a beautiful spring like day. We took the metro red line (a small gesture to travel green) to Hollywood. Our destination was a shabu shabu restaurant we've never ate at before. It turned out to be great and our subway fare was less than a gallon of gas roundtrip.

I'm happy with my $15 haircut-my mane always looks so much healthier after a cut. Problem is I go for months at a time before my next appointment is made. But at this budget price, I may consider more punctual upkeep!

Sunday I missed my regular super sculpt class so instead I tried an entirely new class- afro brazilian dance. Live drummers orchestrated the class which was very high energy. I felt like I caught on pretty good and worked up a good sweat!

I walked ten because I couldn't resist being out under the sun-I sat with him in the park for a while and then came home and finished reading Joel Osteen's 2nd book. If you haven't yet discovered this man and his work google him and get to know him! A great quote was written in one of the last chapters- it was said by his father and his pursuit of goals and it grabbed me. He said, "I'd rather shoot high and miss it than shoot low and make it."

I intentionally pursue unexplored territory; I want to always grow and be better as a person.
I know I'm rejecting complacency whenever I look my "UN"-comfort zone in the face, welcome the challenge, and win. But even if I don't, at least I can say I tried, which at the end of the day, is more than half the battle!
