Stranger in the Mirror!

I was supposed to go to a special shopping event with my co-workers at Nordstrom Rack, but my brother came home too late from his old lady friend's (sorry, but he's only 27 and she's 44, therefore, she is an old lady compared to him...and me!) house, so I was really bummed we didn't go. Went to my Ob-Gyn who is nice enough to keep tabs on me every 3 months to see how my weight loss progress is doing. He doesn't even charge me. I've lost weight since I saw him last March, so he was glad to see me making progress and told me to keep up what I'm doing. He also cautioned on plateaus and told me to just adjust accordingly to keep the weight loss constant. I will see him again on December 19, so I MUST keep up the weight loss. :) No excuses!

Since I didn't get to spend the money on new clothes, I decided to cut my hair. Then, on a whim, I told the stylist to go ahead and highlight it:

Me and my new hair, Sept. 2009

AHHHH!!! My black hair is gone. At first I wanted to cry when I saw it...I keep looking in the mirror and it's like a stranger is looking back at me. AHHHHH!!! I feel a little bit better because pretty much everyone ELSE seems to really like my hair and says it really looks good on me. It's a little short and funky to me. And high maintenance! For one thing, now I have to change my exercise routine and workout late at nite, because I need the morning to make my hair all nice and pretty. LOL...I'll get used to it though. AHHHH!!! Oh no wait...that's me in the mirror. :)

Sunday sucked like hell...seems like God really wants me to make Sunday a day of rest. I woke up intending to exercise, then had a sneezing fit that wouldn't go away. I took some generic Target allergy medicine, and it didn't work, so 2 hours later I took a Benedryl. Then I didn't wake up until 4:30 p.m. Blah!!!

And I've been HUNGRY even though I swear I'm munching munching munching all the time! Munching "good" stuff mostly...popcorn, edamame, corn puffs (okay maybe not the corn puffs, but it has sesame in it), fruits, celery. I did eat a Trader Joe's 100 calorie 70% Cacao Chocolate Bar. I think we bought it back in February...didn't see an expiration date on it, still looked and smelled good so I ATE IT. Hahahahaha!!!

Got home and was soooooooo tired. But I pushed myself to do about 1/2 hour of Gilad's 45 min. Interval Training. 45 mins. is cardio, the other 45 is weights. I was just too damned tired. But looks like I lost weight again. Strange considering I'm munching all the time. :o
