Yeah so life has got me running around like a Hebrew slave….
I’m taking some control of my life. I realized the other day that I have regained 10 lbs. Ummm not good when you know you need to lose at least 25 already. So it’s back to the grind of getting up and exercising and trying very very hard to eat right. Not easy when you live with a man who bakes cakes once a week and you work with your mother who keeps bringing you thin mint cookies. But in an effort to take responsibility for me myself and I … I joined Wei.ght Wat.che.rs. Okay I’m doing the one week trial to see if I can hold down some discipline and do We.ight Watc.hers. Damn those “Be an after, stay an after” commercials!
This is month 3 without a relaxer and I don’t look like Kareema Wheat (Buckwheat’s sister). My hair stylist has been doing wonders with a blowout. Funny how impatient I get when I try something new. Go to the gym twice… step on the scale to see how much weight I lost. Eat right for 3 days… try to put on my skinny jeans. But this hair thing is really teaching me patience. I haven’t done it at home yet because I don’t want to chicken out and run screaming for some relaxer but tonight I’ll have to do it at home because I can’t fit a salon appointment into my schedule. I’m planning to do a twist out which was really cute the last time I did it. I never thought I’d be tempted to do the “big chop” but I’m getting impatient about seeing what my natural texture really looks like. The last time I saw me in all my natural glory I was in 4th grade! I may end up going for it this summer… we’ll see. Gotta work on Coach about that… he likes my long hair.
Went to a skin care seminar yesterday. Of course I didn’t find out anything I didn’t already know but sometimes I have to be reminded that I actually have to take better care of my skin. Laziness is doing a number on my face and I am far too vain to let it get worse. Didn’t buy the million dollars of recommended products but I am making an appointment for a facial next week. Man I’ll be glad when I have money
That’s about it for now. My mother just called to get me to email her my menu for my graduation brunch so I suppose I should get off the blog and get it finished. Toodles!
