January 7, 2006

Today is the First Saturday of the Month, and I just did my first TRIM after "the big cut" last month. I think I cut a little under 1/2 an inch, which was more than I had intended, but with the slight layering of my hair, I had to "up it" a little in order to make sure EVERY HAIR got snipped. I am starting to realize just how important frequent trimming is, in order to maintain end health and thickness.

I generously oiled with coconut oil before combing and cutting it. It is now happily secured in an updo that is very festive looking, and makes me feel like I'm either getting married or attending a wedding.

I've been experimenting with messy updos, and I finally found one I liked. It's sort of a French twist thing secured with a barette up high at the crown, with the ends spilling over on top of my ears. My ears feel less cold if some hair is touching them, soooo...this appears to be working out great!!! I used to have a real aversion to wearing my hair up, but now I have more of an aversion to wearing it down. If it was SUPER THICK and just settled down my back like a heavy mantle, I might do it, but I just don't have that type of hair. I guess I'm blessed to have the kind of hair I do...one day a neighbor commented on an updo I was wearing and remarked how fortunate I was to be able to wear my hair up, as SHE never could with her THICK HAIR--it always fell down!!! So I'm grateful!!!!!!!!

And, I'm WAYYYYYYY overdo for an exercise session. I'm going to sign off here RIGHT NOW and get it over with. Then I'll have lunch a bit later. Then go to Confession (okay I haven't been mortally bad this past month but I could have been better!!!!!!! Roll Eyes

)

Exercise will stimulate circulation to my head and that's good for the HAIR, among all other things....

Later!!!!!!!!!!!

Hair: Must wash tonight. It's the 2nd day.

Redken's Ringlet is AWESOME for a light, controlled hold, even though I do not have ringlets. I got a free sample in the mail. Formulated for curls, it contains much moisture. It's like a cream/conditioner/gel in one.

Diet: Trying to cut back on snacks until I get into better shape...

Excercise:I feel like I'm slogging through wet cement. Haven't been dancing for weeks. Danced a little tonight...that's a good start. Been sick for a couple weeks, felt weak. Now my legs and the rest of me don't feel like dancing or doing much of anything.

Misc: Might be getting a puppy. Finished jury duty yesterday. I was sworn in as an alternate juror but got to be excused before I ever had to say a word. Earned 10 bucks.

I will try to post here everyday to keep track of my progress, especially pertaining to EXERCISE. I can't believe I slipped out of that habit so easily and quickly. Hopefully this journal will serve to help motivate me!

It's still January...the New Year is still young.

Hi, Angel Spun and Juri!

Hey Juri, I took ballet and tap as a young child, but it was actually Riverdance that sparked my Irish step dancing devotion. So that was what, ten years ago? Now I'm not just doing it for fun but for serious exercise. And it WORKS, if I can keep up with it on a daily basis... Roll Eyes

Well, it is.....

Wednesday, January 25, 2006

Hair: Washed last night-- the every other night wash. Seems to work out good for my hair. Current daily style is my old trusty standby-- in a cascade clip (aka banana clip). Coconut oil ends at bedtime, every night. Oops, I forgot to swallow my flaxseed oil today--must remember to do that. My hair has drastically improved since adding flaxseed and more olive oil to my diet over the past year. Plus chewable vitamins, Tums for calcium and all around healthy foods...

Diet : Ate two pieces of fudge for dessert. Mom was trying to get it out of the fridge. She serves dessert every night and I don't dare refuse, and I figure one dessert a day won't hurt me, as long as I get my exercise in...

I used to eat about two nutritious snacks per day, (besides 3 meals--gives you a BURNING metabolism) but since I am trying to shed a few pounds, I am cutting them out. Maybe I should just cut my bedtime snacks and leave my midafternoon snack? Or maybe I should keep the snacks and ramp up the exercise? However, I am feeling so tired lately that it is actually easier to not exercise, even though it means giving up my snacks.

Dancing: Haven't done it yet. Probably should, right now...as soon as I complete this entry...my favorite workout tape is still Riverdance, after all these years. Maybe in a month I can allow myself those snacks again--or if I workout twice a day?

Misc: Pro-Life Mass with the Bishop mourning recent anniversary of Roe v. Wade. I love it when the spicy incense clings to my long hair. I feel like a walking censor. (Spelling? The thing they put the incense in. ) Okay, that has absolutely nothing to do with Pro-Life...

Puppy Tales:

MAYBE MAYBE MAYBE I will be getting a Siberian Husky. It is up to Mom, cuz the lady that has them lives an hour away. The price is SOO good for huskies...maybe there will be some more available locally? We shall see. Must sign off for now... and get dancing!!! Undecided

Hair--satisfactory. Wash tonight.

Diet--satisfactory. Pork and potatoes for lunch, no snacks. I'm feeling weak but won't indulge until supper--which shouldn' t be too far off now! I'm not overweight but I have gotten sooooooo off of my routine. My muscles feel loose and flabby. Especially legs. That would make sense, for a dancer...

Exercise--major improvements. Danced alot today. Will do my other toning exercises tonight. Did some yard work outside--unseasonably warm right now, 50's. 8)

And........

Misc--MIGHT really be getting that Siberian Husky puppy!!!

Mom came home with a puppy gate for me today, so I guess it's serious. Now just need to convince Dad to drive us out to the lady's farm on Saturday. (Dad, puh-leeeeeeeeze...) Pups are 13 weeks old, with shots/wormed. 175 bucks. I pray that all goes well, if God wills it to happen. I'm not going to think too much about it. I'll just go about my business and respond to the situation accordingly!!!

Heeeeey, it's supper time right now!! What a wonderful situation to respond to! Later!!!

Neat! I used to do ballet and tap, too up until a few years ago. I think Irish step dancing would be good exercise and dancing in general is more fun than regular aerobics.

Good luck with the puppy!

(Hi Angel Spun and Juri!

I haven't posted here for a few days.....sooooooo busy............)

I GOT MY SIBERIAN HUSKY PUPPY!!!

After Midnight Tuesday, January 31, 2006

HAIR: I'm up waiting for it to get mostly dry before blowdrying it and braiding it for bed.

DIET: Three meals a day and no time for snacks...

EXERCISE: Who has time for that when you have---

MISC.: -----a Siberian Husky puppy!!! 13 weeks old, blue eyes, fur mostly white with black/gray markings. "Smokey" is his name. I feel like I just had a baby!! Roll Eyes

I can only imagine that, of course, but my life is completely upside down because of him. But he's well worth it. And hopefully things will settle down in a week or two. And hopefully our Golden Retriever will bond with his little brother. I have a feeling my Hair Journal is about to turn into a Husky Journal... Wink

I wish I had more time to post on Longlocks but I've GOT to go. Like a babe he is up at all hours, and I need to get some sleep. Maybe I can get back here tomorrow!!!

Hey Bikerbraid, Lisabelle, Angel Spun and CurlyGirl22!! I WISHHHHHHH I still had my brother's digicam, but he took it back... Cry

If I can bum one off my Dad, who has two, and load the software on my PC, MAYBE I can post a pic of my adorable "little wolf-boy"! Oh he is SOOO cute...

After Midnight Thursday, February 2, 2006

Hair: Debating whether to do my monthly trim on Saturday. I DO want to increase length, but I DON'T want to revert EVEN A LITTLE BIT to my former fairy-tale ends. Probably I'll end up trimming just a weeeee little bit.

Diet: Still no time for leisurely healthy snacks. I suppose things will get back to normal later, once Smokey settles down a bit...

Excercise: Bending, lifting, walking, running after Smokey...no dancing or usual toning excercises yet, this week...must get back to them ASAP. After the little wolf has been here a little longer, perhaps?

Misc: Smokey pulls me like I'm a sled, when we go walking. Roll Eyes

It's bred in his bones to do that, and I don't mind...he's so much fun. I can hardly believe I have a Siberian Husky!!!

I am exhausted. Must go dry my hair and get into bed. Smokey may sleep until seven, or he may have to go out at 2 in the morning. So far he's both slept through the night and had to go out at one or two in the morning. But the sacrifice is worth it!!!
