Hair: Currently I'm at 18 1/2"...is that, like, an inch of growth in one month?! Shocked

I'll have to check...an inch and a half?!!! Whoa, what happened? Maybe my hair likes all the veggies I've been eating!

Weighty Matters: 159.5 as of yesterday, and this morning the scale wavered between 159 and 1591/2. Wink

Could I see 140 by July 15, my next checkup? Oooooo.... Roll Eyes

Other: Had a *ahem* conversation with stepson the other night, and cleared the air on some issues. I won't repeat what was said, because I used some very naughty words, and a lot of them. Grin

Seems to be what he understands, though, so when in Rome... What prompted this discussion is that he blew up at his father earlier that day, for no good reason. I will not have that in my house. Uh-uh. Angry

Anyway, when he came home that evening, the three of us sat down and hashed it out. I started off by telling stepson that it was probably a good thing he had not been present when I got home; that I most likely would have kicked him out right then and there (it was that nasty of a blow up). But the bottom line is that I think we all understand now what's going on in that befuddled brain of his. And as much as we (his father and I) were serious about him doing chores in lieu of rent money, we simply cannot rely upon him for, well, anything. He has his own agenda, as far as what he wants out of life, and he does not, nor will ever, fit into our way of life. Doesn't mean we don't love him--we just don't like him sometimes. Grin

Hair: God, I love growing out my hair, don't you?! Cheesy

Seriously! It's just so exciting, watching it grow as we pamper and feed it.

Did a vinegar rinse this morning...still using Pantene Brunette Expressions s+c. Need to have hubby snap a photo.

Weighty Matters: Saturday morning found me at 158 1/2. Shocked

But this morning I was at 159...I think I ate too much cheese yesterday. Sad

I love cheese...but I need to watch the portions or I overdo. Though typically I tend to overeat on Sundays anyway. Hey, it's only half a pound *shrug* who cares?! Wink

The weight is steadily coming off; that's the important thing. I've got about one more serving of cinnamon flax bread left--need to make more tonight.

Other: Brother-in-law should be home tonight...Tootie Bug, one of our cats, will be happy.

All of the cats like him, but she has taken a real shine to brother-in-law. She just LOVES having him chase her! What a sight, watching a 48 year old man with long, grey hair (yep, he's a long hair!) chasing a cat through the house! Grin

Ugh...I love cheese too...too much. Roll Eyes

Yay!!! I'm not the only weirdo! Grin

I was playing "tag" with my cats today, thinking about how weird it must seem. I chase them until they're cornered and then they chase me until I have nowhere else to run and so on.

Although, I'm sure it's funnier seeing a gray haired man running around the house chasing cats. Grin

Wednesday 9 April 2008
Hair: I've figured out how to disguise my thnning spot, if indeed I have one. I'm not convinced that this is simply all in my imagination. Roll Eyes

Over the weekend I was watching some Bette Davis movies on TCM, and a documentary about her. I noticed that in her middle to late years, Mz Davis wore a pretty low side part; in some instances the part seemed very close to her ear! And I thought, "Hmm..." Now I'm certainly not going to start parting my hair at one ear (like the ever popular comb-over!), but scootching over the part a bit would be enough. So lately I've had the part sort of even with the outermost edge of my left eye. It seems perfect.

Such a simple solution. Why didn't I think of this BEFORE I whacked off my hair?! Huh

Weighty Matters: 158 1/2...159.
Mixed up a batch of cinnamon flax bread last night (it's the muffin recipe baked in a quarter sheet pan). The recipe calls for 2 tablespoons of cinnamon, which is 6 teaspoons, but I had only 4 teaspoons left. Didn't realize I was that low. So I added 2 teaspoons of nutmeg to supplement the cinnamon. I haven't tried it yet, but the smell is yummy.

Other: I don't want to jinx anything, but life at home seems to be evening out. Stepson asked his father to bring him into town today so he can apply for jobs. Shocked

His car needs work (which takes money, which requires a job...), hence asking hubby to drive him. If he's being proactive and productive, hubby has no problem driving his son wherever he needs to go. Stepson was cleaning the basement yesterday when I got home. Shocked

He had even dusted off my treadmill and the table where my little sits in front of the treadmill. Then...! After supper he did the dishes! Without being asked to! WTF?! Huh

It's nice, but I'm naturally leary.

Thursday 10 April 2008
Hair: Really no news. I've been washing every day. *shrug* Not much else. Still need to take photos--maybe this weekend.

Weighty Matters: I've come to reason that it is NOT the cheese but the honey mustard ("made with REAL honey!" Sad

)condiment which is causing a temporary stall in weight. I'm usually not a condiment person. But I put some on my Sunday night salad, and I also put some on last night's chicken breast. Over the weekend I was at 158 1/2. On Monday morning I was back up to 159. And this morning the scale wavered between 159 and 159 1/2! Shocked

Gotta be the honey mustard. Or rather the honey IN the mustard. One more thing my body does not respond well to. As long as it's not the cheese...! Grin

Other: Glory be...stepson has a job! As a matter of fact, he's at work right now. Truth be told, his father got him the job. But, hey, I don't really care HOW it came about; only that it DID. He'll be working Monday through Friday, 7:00am to 3:30pm, $7 per hour. He'll be working on one of the lines at a packaging factory (I don't know exactly *what* they package; don't ask). Factory work seems to suit him, so this is great. His father will take him to, and pick him up from work. But this place is only about a 10 minute drive from our farm. Perfect-o. Thank you Lord!

Wow...$7/hr is really not a lot.  
But I live in a much pricier state.
Anyway, woohoo! At least that will have him out of your hair for 8 hours, eh? 

And actually, hon, it's probably both the cheese and the honey mustard dressing that are doing it. Cheese is very high in fat and honey mustard dressing is a lot of empty calories. 

But you're wrong about honey. By itself, honey has only 64 calories per tablespoon...which is basically nothing.    Cheers!

Friday 11 April 2008
Hair: I declared today a no-wash day; hair is up in a ponytail (it's so cute!) with top held in place with a side comb, and sides held with snap clips.

Weighty Matters: Ladies, you have to remember that hubby and I follow a LOW CARB lifestyle. We do not count calories.

So the sugar, or sugar-producing food, is what we keep an eye on. And even between the two of us, there are vast differences as to what each of us can tolerate. Therefore, yes, honey seems to be a no-no, at least for me. Fat, for a low carber, is good.

Monday 14 April 2008
Hair: For over a week now, I've been holding back the short layers on my "long" side with a hair comb. On the left side of my part, what I call the "short" side, the hair is all long enough to stay put behind my left ear. After The Cut, I was using snap clips to contain the shorter layers that are not long enough to tuck behind my ear. But a side comb seems to work better at this point in time. My granny always used a hair comb or two, so I have several years of experience with those helpful little tools.

Still washing almost every day.

Weighty Matters: 159 all weekend, yet this morning I'm back down to 158 1/2. I'm seriously considering joining La Diosa and Sakina (and god knows how many others!?) in saying "SCREW THE SCALE"...maybe only weighing once a week...or less. I like this article...

Other: The weekend took its sweet time getting here, then disappeared in a poof of smoke. *sigh*
