Wow, I could have just gotten my hair cut!!

OK - this happened twice - once with in-laws, once with business colleagues I saw in Rhode Island while on vacation.  I am at least 100 pounds smaller than this time last year.  And both said "Wow, you cut your hair, didn't you?  It looks great!"  So instead of saying "since I've lost weight" I'm just going to say "since I cut my hair."

On a more serious note, I love returning to my routine.  I spent a week without internet or cell phone (at least where we were staying).  Missed you guys!  I missed the NE meet-up due to being stuck without a car, so boo-hoo!!  I couldn't reach anyone without internet access - so very very sorry!!

Nothing too off-trac****urred food-wise (thank goodness) but I did have several dinners that included picked-that-day local Rhode Island corn.  Usually just part of an ear.  And two stuffies (stuffed quahaugs).  And Portugese roasted pumpkin seeds.  Today I am paying for my carb-y indulgences by some major baby bird hungries, but so far, so good (and protein-y).

Cheers!!

"Major baby bird hungries"?? LOL
Glad to see you back, you've been missed!!!

Great to have you back! Glad you had some fun, some good food (in limited quantities), and some r&r. I hate when I don't have internet access - feel lost. But maybe it's good to be disconnected from time to time. And your comment - that happened to me last week! A co-worker from another department that I rarely see said " you look really good - is your hair different or did you get new glasses?" I'm like -really? You're right - either of those would have been a lot easier.

Keep up your good work. We have similar numbers, although you're ahead of me. And I'm 5'7", and 10 years older! But I'm trying to figure out a goal weight with litle or no success. Finally decided to just keep at it until it feels right.

Welcome back.

The haircut would have been cheaper, but maybe not as good for your health. Hang in with the baby bird for a day and it'll ease!

 "Baby Bird Hungries" You made me miss Brandilynn so bad I almost cried! 

On that note..And not meaning to hyjack your thread Happy but does anyone know how to get back all our old bookmarks with the new format?? Or are they gone for good?? :(

We all miss Brandilynn!!  True that!

As for bookmarks - I didn't even know mine were missing.  Yikes!!  I'm very interested - maybe if we ask the question in its own thread.

 I've had 3 people mention my hair since I came back to work this week almost 30 lbs lighter!  Oh, and I had my haircut 2 weeks before I left work for the surgery!
Congrats on your great achievements this past year!

Yep - someone said they really liked my hair color - about a week before I had an appointment to color the grey roots, and it's the same color I've had forever.

Welcome back! 

Welcome back Happy!  This same thing has happened to me, though not recently.  It is even more frustrating when you see someone you haven't seen in awhile and they don't say anything, although that happened more a few months back.  Oh well, shows us how unobservant many people are.  I know I was always so afraid of people noticing things that I thought stuck out like a sore thumb, and they were too wrapped up in their own stuff to notice.  BTW, from your pictures, it is certainly obvious to all of us that the change in your appearance is not your hair! 

On a different note - where is Bandilynn?  I must have missed something.

I was wondering the same thing... hmm....
