I'm going to restart my walking program TONIGHT. I've printed off a simple walking chart where I can mark the distance walked, speed, and other items. I usually have better luck with these self challenges if I keep a written record.

I've found that to be true as well. Plus it's easier to keep track of the progress you make. Good luck!

Thursday 30 August 2007

Hair
Wash day; length is down. Still using the Pantene products. Layers...um, I'm gradually growing accustomed to them. That's a good thing, because I really didn't want to cut my hair to accomodate them. Most of the time I can ignore them, and/or work around them, and I actually forget about them.

Other
I'm still writing most days--not every day, as I'd like. But most days is fine with me. I started walking on my treadmill two nights ago, a mile each night. Feeling good about that...I'll feel even better when I can say that I walked every night for 30 days straight.

No-wash day; hair up in a high ponytail. I probably won't wash again until Monday (or even Tuesday).

Monday is Labor Day and the university where I work will be closed. Yours Truly is also taking vacation on Tuesday, giving moi a 4-day weekend. Cool

Yay-rah for me. Gosh, when I come back to work it'll be freakin' September. Shocked

Holy cow.

Hair
My first day back to work after my 4-day weekend so I washed, even though I washed yesterday too. The problem with freshly laundered hair is it's too clean to do anything with, so today it's hanging down.

As Angel mentioned in her journal I, too, have been thinking of cutting off all of my hair. Shocked

Part of this urge is coming from my new student worker, who has a cute short cut. Or maybe the entire urge is coming from that area; I don't know. But, you know, the changing seasons also seem to have an influence over me. It's almost as if I want to change my physical appearance when the earth changes hers. Does that make sense? Tongue

Well, I guess I'll wait a couple of weeks and see how I feel then.

Hi Trisha, hope you enjoyed your long weekend! Cheesy

I get what you're saying. I always look at the changing of the seasons as a way of starting over or a new beginning. I guess changing your look with the season would be a way of starting fresh. I've been thinking the same thing but in reverse. I've been looking forward to the fall with excitement knowing that my hair will lengthen as the days and months go on.

I know that cute short cuts can be tempting but that's too easy, anyone can have a short cut in an instant. I think that long hair, with the time and patience it takes to grow it out and care for it makes it more rewarding. Wink

Very true, LD, about the instant temptation of cute, short cuts. This is why I abide by the 2-week rule. In fact, after only 24 hours, I'm already waffling about wanting short hair again. Cheesy

If I do decide to cut, I believe I would only go as short as shoulder length, which would give me plenty of hair to play with. Thanks for replying--it's good to have you back! Cool

Whew! Thank goodness you're changing your mind already. Better to have second thoughts before you do something than after.

Me, I would definitely go for kind of an edgy pixie, so all of the length would go. Shocked

Thank the hair gods, I have not acted on it...and won't. The lynch mob that would come after me is not limited to just the members of these boards! lol

Hair
No-wash day; hair is up in a high ponytail and accented with my blood red velveteen, er, ponytail thingy. Hubby and I have a little supper club meeting tomorrow night, so I'll probably wash. Then again, if I'm in a screw-the-world mood, I'll just leave it greasy and put it up into a bun. harumpf.

The annual family reunion for my mother's family happens during the first weekend in October; already I'm halfway dreading it. The only good parts will be (a) getting to visit with my sister who will flying in, and (b) visiting with my Aunt Marvil who lives in Florida. *sigh* I intensely dislike family reunions. I stopped attending them when I was about 18, avoiding them religiously for several years. Then in 2003, after the cancer ordeal, I guess I was feeling sentimental or something, so I went. Big mistake, because now my presence is expected every year, and I get grilled by the local aunts if I don't show. *sigh* So I guess I'd better start now trying to psyche myself up for this stinkin' reunion. I will have a good time, I will have a good time, I will have a good time (how long before it starts working??)........

Your family is quite close knit compared to mine! Half the time we don't show up for weddings or funerals either, because quite frankly, most of my mom's side either hates each other, or hasn't met.

No-wash day, since I washed on Saturday.

Family reunions, yeah... It's like, once I get there, I'm all right--I enjoy talking to my aunts and uncles who live far away. They're all elderly now, of course (the youngest is 60), so I know these reunions are my only avenue to visit with them. I could care less about my cousins, honestly--I know that sounds awful, but it's true. Oh, there are some I like and enjoy talking with, namely the "local bunch" (as I think of them). The rest? I have nothing in common with them and have no desire to keep in touch. *shrug* I'm quite content to live my life and am happy to let them do the same.
But since my sister is making a special trip to attend this year's gathering, I know the aunts and uncles would love to see both of us there together (it's usually only one of us in attendance). *sigh* So I'll go...but maybe I'll take a flask with me!

Hair
Washed this morning after going...how many days? Er...3 days w/out. My tresses were decidedly greasy; well, the crown was anyway. That's one negative on the Pantene--I can't seem to go as long w/out washing as with TreSemme. I mean I CAN, physically, hold off on washing. But I would look like a grease pit. If I was a stay-at-home-wife (wistful sigh) I probably wouldn't wash my hair more than once a week. As it is, though, I have a certain reputation to uphold and I do care what others think of my tresses.

Ahhh, Autumn...finally you've arrived!! Cheesy

Oh, I know you're official entrance isn't scheduled until the 23rd of this month. But this morning's wonderfully chilly temperature tells me otherwise. I actually had to dig out a jacket to wear this morning! *giddy laugh*

I'm not much of a family reunion person myself. I just feel that if families were actually interested in each other, they would meet more or at least talk on the phone, sort of eliminating the need for an "official" reunion. I'm bascially more about my immediate family that I know and love and have great times with than meeting with strangers who have noting in common other than being a part of the same family.

Although Trishia, you mybe interested to know that I've gone against type and did a little poking aroung on ancestors.com. I found some information on my paternal grandfather, even finding out the name and birth location of his mother.

I found that a bit cool, like putting together a puzzle or doing detective work. Cheesy

Autumn...I'm quite aware that it is slowly creeping up on us as well. I thought I was looking forward to it but as a person who completely dislikes the cold, I supposed the most I can do is put on a happy face and simply accept the inevitable colder days to come. Also focusing on (as I'd mentioned before)the fact that by the time the colder wether is over my hair will be longer, helps my transition into fall.

I am glad you're genuinely enjoying it though! Cheesy
