6 Months and 66 Lbs

Keeping My Hair

Well I have found a wonderful product for my hair, so I can keep it from falling out in large chunks. Nioxin rocks! Yes, it is expensive. It helps that my sister is a cosmetologist so she can get it for me at her cost. I hear that the hair loss stops around 9 months, as long as my nutrition needs continue to be met. We will see. I am reaching 6 months and it is slowing down, but I notice a huge difference in how my scalp feels when I don't use this product. Without it, I feel inflammation and the inflamed parts are where the hair is falling out in chunks. When I use Nioxin daily, my scalp feels clean and "normal."  Lately I've been getting a lot of compliments on how shiny my hair looks. One girl at work came up to me and said "wow, your hair looks so healthy." She seemed a little shocked. Not sure why she would be shocked by that, but I can accredit it to the one change in my hair care regime, Nioxin.

Oops...I had a piece of pizza

I was a very bad girl this week. I ate a small piece of pizza...crust and all! To be honest, it tasted just okay. I don't think I'll eat it for a long, long time. It didn't satisfy me. I was full, but needed more protein. I don't get dumping syndrome, but I don't like the feel of bread in my stomach. I now have a natural aversion to it, without the throwing up or diarrhea that other people have to suffer through.

The moral of the story is: Don't waste calories on fluff. It's  not worth it and doesn't taste good anymore.

Hopefully I will remember this the next time pizza is the only food in the house. How about I don't let pizza be the only food in the house?! I'm stocked up on tuna and healthy chicken salad now, and as long as I have eggs, I am happy. And Canadian bacon. Yum!

Still no more weight loss, but I am shrinking. I am down another pant size. Woohoo!

Peace, Love and Joy,
