Vanity Check: Hair and Body
Monday, September 3, 2007

When one is as vain (sometimes) as I am, I like to periodically do the head and body check.

Finally, lost another inch, down to 39-30-39. I was able to squeeze into a pair of Levi's size 12 (super stretcher!). Counting from my highest weight (almost two years ago), I've lost 40 lbs.

Oh the vanity! My hair is finally (sorta) armpit length - if you pull hard enough! Well, if I flat ironed (I'm tempted) it would be armpit length. But my hair is soooo delicate, any heat and there would be immediate breakage. That's just the way it is. So most of the time I keep it twisted, bundled up, or under wraps.

The hard part begins when it gets cooler, I get really really hungry. All the cold foods and drinks I had for the summer, I cannot tolerate even in late late summer.

Gotta find warm filling foods that are still low in calories. Boy, that's gonna be fun, especially during the coming get fat holidays.

Labor Day is a funny concept. It's celebrated by people not working. Just thought I'd toss that lame joke in here.

Heads up: the political season officially begins, I might start writing about it.

Hi. just checking out your blog!

I bet its because you keep your hair in wraps that its grown as it has. That seems to be what happened to me.

(well, now I chopped it all off-cuz I didn't maintain it)

Very true, my hair hates air - it knots up the minute a breeze hits it.
