What the heck happened to me last night?  I exercised yesterday, stuck to healthy choices on my meals and then started bingeing last night.  Boy, did I eat!  That’s not like me and I don’t know what brought it on.  First, I ate a bunch of popcorn.  An hour or so later, I ate a protein bar (chocolate peanut butter, pretty good!).  A few minutes later, I ate a fudgesicle, followed by 3 more protein bars.  Crap!  Why’d you do that Sistah Pat????

I don’t have a clue what brought it on and I’m not going to try to rationalize it.  It’s too difficult to think right now.  Stacy and David left yesterday and she asked if I wanted her to dump the rest of her coffee in my coffee canister.  I didn’t realize it was Hazlenut.  I can’t focus with Hazlenut coffee.  It’s just not right.  Early morning should be Super Heavy Duty Brazilian Columbian Kona Dark and Forbidding Breakfast Blend.  Sheesh!

Stacy is an ex? hairdresser.  Is there any such thing?  Anyway, she likes my hair scrunched which is what I’ve been doing for about six months.  The very top, however, has a tendancy to go flat.  Stacy’s hair looks great and she said all she did was have about 6 or 8 perm rods done in the top and she offered to do it for me.  I haven’t been able to wash it for three days now and I hate it.  I hope it settles down after I shampoo this morning.  I look like Little Orphan Annie.  The top is totally frizzy and the rest of it has mysteriously gone flat.  Today, Stacy’s supposed to come over and we’re going to try to find a color that’s close to my natural color which is a very dark brown with red highlights.  Well, you guys know that from the pictures.  I enjoy her so much when she’s in a good place and taking her meds.  Wish she’d stay there.

2:00 - Did an hour of combination treadmill and aerobics.  My back and laterals are killing me today so I guess that means I worked some areas that haven’t been worked in a while.  Still having trouble with that damn tailbone.  I think I’ll go online and for back strengthening exercises.  I used to do a Jane Fonda Complete workout that had 15 minutes of upper body weights and toning, 45 minutes of high intensity aerobics, and 15 minutes of lower body toning.  The idea was to do the upper and aerobics one day and then aerobics and the lower the next.  I think I’ll try to find it today and see if there’s any possibility of still doing it.

4:30 - Okay, here goes!  I bought a dark brown color.  Let’s see what happens…

6:30 - I think I did okay.  I’m not happy with the frizzy hair on top but the color is pretty much the way it should be.  DH said, “Hey, Baby!  Where you been?  I haven’t seen you for a couple years!”  DS said, “Hey, Mom, you look like Mom again.”  So, I guess I’m closer to being me.  What do you think?

Patty, you have had a super-chaotic week, it’s no wonder you’re a little off. It’s not making excuses, it’s reality. But try to forget about it. The food is already in your body, you can’t do anything about it. What you can do is what you’re already doing…working out and making healthier choices. Plus, you need to save some calories in case the perm doesn’t settle down and you want to eat away your sorrow about that!! :)

Just catching up with all the blogs and loved your fun photos from Hawaii. I think your hair looks great. As for the frizz, well, that just sounds like my life :-)

I read somewhere (might have been Time magazine) about some people who did a study on hair colour, using same picture with grey or coloured hair. The only difference was that people thought that the coloured hair made people look younger. Nothing to do with grey being smarter etc. I’m going for coloured! Glad you got the great reaction from your family.

Patty,
I LOVE the color! I have always been jealous of brunettes, my hair is so light blonde that I tend to fade into the background when my tan goes away. And maybe we just can’t see it in the picture, but the top doesn’t look frizzy.
