Holiday Preparations

I’m pretty lucky. Since I don’t host a Thanksgiving meal for either of our families, I don’t have a lot of preparations. However, I had several things on my to-do list for today: Lip and eyebrow wax *check* Hair cut and style *check* These pictures don’t do it justice. It’s super cute. In fact, when I went up front to pay, the woman at the desk said, “Wow, you look trendy now!” Did I really look that bad before?? Oh well. The cut is shorter than I normally go, and I was nervous at first but I really like...

The Night Before Weigh-in #1

October 22, 2008 in Food, Health and Fitness, Life, Weight Loss

I am quite nervous about my weigh-in tomorrow. I did well this week in that I didn’t go over my points. However, I didn’t get all my points in, and from what I’ve heard, that could cause me to gain weight. I feel like...

Cravings
