Update on weight loss and self care.

I won't lie.

I haven't been attending my WW meetings the last 2 weeks.

I have, however, been vigilant on what I am eating and my scale in my house is proof. THe number keeps shifting down which is the way I like it. I am making a deal with myself to really turn the screws and get moving this week on activity. It has to happen. I also need to continue my skin regimin. It's really working - I look good. I am making my hair appointment at the end of the month - cut and color and then maybe if there's time and money - a facial. Yay me. and of course the requisite eyelash perm and tint. We are experimenting with extensions in May. If it's good, I'll invest the money in having it done. then I won't need perming and tinting. Just maintenance on the extensions. Thats a dream come true. I LOVE eyelashes!!! the longer the better.

A truer testatment is that I am not emotionally eating. And those of you who have been paying attention/actually know/reading between the lines, know that the risk for that was HIGH this week.

I drank instead. A really big surprise even to me. not my norm because I hate the lack of control. And I'm off that too for awhile. A glass of wine now and then but that's it. I don't need to blow off steam that badly and the end result is not good for me.

I slept like a top last night. I took some melatonin just to ease the process, but it was wonderful and refreshing. I feel good.

I don't know how many of you readers take any stock in astrology. I am open to it personally, but don't revolve my life around it. I actually get in trouble with it. when I am not really reading or paying attention or worse, dismissing it, that's when it sneaks up and bites me in the ass. Hard.

I readily admit that I think some of these people who write them are hokey. And some aren't.

My horoscope is hilarious. As I mentioned I tend to dismiss. I have a friend who SWEARS by it and she mentioned that with the shifts my life has recently taken, it might be a good idea to consult it. I almost died laughing on the one for this week and next week. This week is all about self care ( see above) and next week well... I'll make you wait for that so we can see together if the person writing these is really in tune with the universe....

It was too funny. And it happens to me all the time. And yet, you would think that might make me a believer in the mystical and it doesn't - not 100% and not enough. I love tarot cards - won't stake my life on it, the mermaid oracle - a personal favorite ( they are so pretty! ) also fun, but still a crap shoot, atrology.com ( the better of most sites by the way...) facade.com for tarot readings.... quite a hoot actaully.

Doesn't make me a full time believer and yet I go there when the chips are down. Why? I am looking for the clues from the universe that I may have missed. Then I can have my own private V-8 moment - hit myself in the head and say " crap - I should have been paying attention to the universe - and had a V-8!)
