I took another picture outside because you can’t really tell how much lighter I went. It was really bright outside, though, so I’m squinting here.
That first picture was taken about a month ago - before I started carb-counting and lost 12 lbs. I keep looking at it and I swear I can see a really small difference in my face already. Maybe it’s just because I wasn’t smiling in the after photo, I dunno.
That first picture also doesn’t really show how messed up my hair was. I had used a really strong red on it a while back and every time I tried to put another (less red) color on it, the red would come right back through - only in a lovely magenta/pinkish/mauve shade, especially up on the top. On Saturday I stripped all the tinted color out of my hair (to get rid of that red tint once and for all!) and then re-colored it again on Sunday.
My next color is gonna be blonde, LOL.
It felt like I was busy over the weekend - too busy to even post — but now that I look back on it, I didn’t really accomplish much! Hubby and I slept in late both days (that was delicious) and went shopping both days (that was fun). Other than that, we hung around together — oh, and the whole hair coloring thing, we did that together too. I love that I’m married to a man who is willing to put the gloves on and help me. I can’t see the gray roots in the back!
The carb-counting is going well, still. I’m still shedding pounds, which is awesome. I’m not hungry all the time and I am not miserable, and so those are two big pluses! I mean, I do miss mashed potatoes and I miss buns - not really bread, just buns - but it’s not like an overwhelming craving that I have to battle.
Today at lunchtime I cut up some chicken and seasoned it like taco meat. Everyone else grabbed a tortilla and made soft chicken tacos - I just spooned my meat onto my plate (next to a lovely large portion of caesar salad), put some shredded cheddar on top of the meat to melt and then some sour cream on top of that, and OMG it was sooooo good! I ended up having more of the same for dinner! =D

I have the same problems with ‘red’ - it seems like I get the colour I want for about 3 days as it fades.
You are right, there is a definite difference already in your face.
I see a definate differerence in your face too; you’re not seeing things!
