A Symbolic Haircut
Good morning. The thought crossed my mind that I should make this somewhat quick. It’s 27 degrees and it’s going to get up to 50 today. That seems to be the new norm.
After thinking about this lifestyle and the reasons for choosing it a little more, I decided that I will, at the very least, incorporate walking or biking for 15 minutes each day after my journal time. I decided that I would use a planner to manage my time also. So that leaves me an hour at 3fc each morning—to write, to comment.
So moving on quickly… I cut 8 inches of my hair off after my shower yesterday. Throughout history, Indians have demonstrated the behavior in response to a great loss, mostly when someone dies. (It’s also in the Holy Bible.) I’ve always cut my hair between life changes. No person has died, but it may be symbolic of me “coming into a new way of life”. Like a butterfly shedding its cocoon.
Yesterday I ate:
- cheerios and almond milk
- Toast
- Diet A&W
- 1 cup hot dishd
- 1 biscuit
- Apple w/ sugar
- 1 Cream cheese mint
- 1 caramel
- sm. Handful of bbq chips
- chicken
- wax beans
- 1 baked potato
- apple with cinnamon and sugar
- ½ cup of vanilla frozen yogurt w/ butterscotch topping
I’m not counting calories. Part of the reason I’m eating poorer than I could, is the fact that we need to go grocery shopping. I sat down for an hour planning out a menu and writing down foods we need for the meals. I also planned meals for the food we have in the house. I hope this helps. I need to purchase more apples that aren’t so tart. I bought these for pie and I just haven’t gotten around to making another apple pie. I thought about sauce but decided against that this year. I just don’t want to do it. Well, if I am going to be successful, I must sign off and move on with my schedule. PlanningMe signing off.

I like the idea of a new hair style to help you move into a new phase of your life!
As much as we hate to admit it, planning really is the key to success.
In japanese comics, the girls cut their hair when they break up to get a fresh start.. I’ve been doing that since High School. It’s definitely a great picker-upper!
8 inches of hair is A LOT ~ how long is your hair now?
Planning IS the key lol. I have something to look forward to when I know what my next meal is.
What a cool way to signal a transition to yourself! It’s always fun in the shower too to reach up to shampoo & feel such a difference!
Eating from the pantry is sometimes a really good thing - although apples you don’t like are tough to keep eating!
Meal planning is time-consuming, but valuable. I need to learn how to do it, and get bf to do it too! You could still use some of those apples for applesauce, and keep it in the fridge - it keeps for a bit. Just microwave and you’re done. I love chunky applesauce w/ some cinnamon in it. Yum!
Wow, 8 inches is quite a haircut! Hope it jumpstarts you on your new cardio plan. I’m sure after a while 15 min. will seem like nothing and you’ll go a bit longer.
Re your comment - I’m mostly feeling better now, so a little exercise wasn’t a big deal. I’m sick of the congestion and coughing, but it’s gradually easing up.
Have a great day.
Aw, I bet you look super cute with the new hair!
i had to head out during my lunch hour today b/c i needed to stock up on snacks. i’ve been eating apples and almonds non stop. lol. definitely agreed…planning is the key to success.
