Suzanne's Blog July 2005
7/29/2005 LiTtLeMiSsY ;o) nagged us to update our profiles, so here I am doing as she asked. I have my new board photo up, so I added it here as well. I got to see everyone on vacation and they were all happy to see me and told me I was looking good. I've started to lose my hair! This is a big deal for me. I don't have much to begin with... you can actually see my scalp already. I knew I couldn't stand to lose any more, so I searched for someone who does hair extensions to see what types of options were open to me. I found a lady in San Ramon at the California Hair Co. They have all types of things available. Since I am actively losing hair, I decided to go with a hair piece. I wasn't sure I could actually wear this thing, but since she attached it... not just clipping it on, I feel very comfortable with it. It has highlights that I love. I wore it on vacation and people just kept saying that I look good and my hair looks good. I just couldn't help myself. I had to tell them! I only tell my closest friends about the hairpiece, the others, I just say, thanks... it's the hightlights. I figure that I have enough different things going on, weight loss, highlights, new clothes that fit... that they won't figure it out :-D. The pic of me in red at the top of my profile is WITH the hairpiece. The funniest reaction I got. My friend at work was anxious to see how it looked, she knew I was getting it. So we agreed to meet in the cafeteria for lunch. We are sitting and eating and she hasn't said a word! I'm starting to get worried that I look dorky and she doesn't want to say anything... so I'm really paying attention to her and I notice that she's not looking at my hair when she talked to me. I figure she would be staring at it if it were bad. So I finally had to say "soooo... waddya think" She said that it looked so natural that she forgot all about it. If I hadn't of said something, she wouldn't have noticed. That made me feel good! OK enough of the hair already. I now weigh 205lbs! I'm only 6 pounds away from Onderland. I think the last time I was there was when I got married in 1987. I am wearing and 18/20 now. I bought one pair of drawstring pants that actually are a size 16! I know, I know, they run big, BUT I DON'T CARE **** THEY SAY 16 ****. I can't remember the last time I was in a 16! I bought a t-shirt today and it was a 2x! I was shopping the clearance racks at Target and I did something that I've never done before. I bought things too small without trying them on. I knew I would get there. What a weird feeling. I'm not exercising. I just hate to exercise and haven't worked it into my daily schedule yet. I know that if I did this weight would be coming off faster. I'm trying to make a deal with myself. When I get under 200, I will definitely join the gym. I will be feeling better and it will be easier to exercise, so I'll go. I finally got the constipation issue under control. My PCP prescribed me MIRALAX! It works for me YIPPEE!! Now I just have to fight with PacifiCare to get them to pay for it. They denied it, so I just paid the $43 for the prescription... Hey when you can't poop, you'll pay anything for some relief. Now that I know it works and I'll be on it indefinitely, it's worth the fight. I hope it won't be a problem. I'm not doing good on my fluids and protein. I stopped writing it all down, I started back up, so hopefully I'll do better. Since I was having problems with constipation, my nurse kept changing my diet... get in more fluids.... get off the protein drinks and get in more food... get in some veggies.... I'm not sure what to focus on now, so I'm going back to focusing on protein any way I can get it in, even if it's via shakes and bars. Let's see how my weight loss goes now. I've also started snacking a little more. I found the world of sugar free treats.... bad bad place to be. One side of my head says "they are sugar free, you can have them" The other side says "they are still cookies!" Guess which side has been winning??? Gotta get control of that one. ---Ta for now! 0 Comment(s)
