I am starting to feel a little claustrophobic in my life, does that make sense? I need to make some changes but I am not sure where to start. I am sure a lot of it has to do with the stress of work, the unknowns about furloughs, my mom being sick...it all adds up. I can't decide if the going back to school thoughts are making that worse or better.
Sometimes a small change helps so I am going to start by getting my hair done on Friday and I am going to go back to my usual, unusual self. I have held off because Dennis really doesn't like when I do crazy stuff to my hair and I get the "I'm too old for that" feelings but to hell with it.
These pictures are from the stylist's facebook and is kind of what I want to do. Of course I will keep the main color of my hair red.
I have also held off because there was a position opening up as a coordinator for all the Air Force work but with the feedback I have gotten lately it is evident they already have the selection made. Screw it.
So how old is too old to do something fun like this to your hair? At what age do you take out the funky rook and tragus ear piercings and start acting like an adult? I'm not sure I want to be that age.
Ok, enough of that.
I didn't run last night. I just don't think I got enough calories and/or fluids to make for an even alright run. I took a friend out to lunch for her birthday yesterday and I ate maybe a quarter of a cup of chicken tortilla soup. About 3 I started to get light headed and went to the vending machine and got a hershey bar (obviously relinquishing my smiley face for the day, maybe even week). I had muscle cramps from not drinking enough water but I was afraid to do anything but sip at my water bottle after Sunday. I hope to get some cardio in today but if it is tomorrow before my body feels up to it then so be it. I don't want to push it and either hurt myself or mentally break down and not want to do the races I have signed up for the rest of the month.
Thursday I have to go back to the band doctor. I'm curious to see what he says. My weight is still right around the 115 range. Not sure what it is about 112 that sounds so appealing but that is where I WANT to be. 3 pounds shouldn't have that much effect on a person but it does. My appointment is at 5 and they are having a seminar at 6. Dr. A asked me to stay and speak to the people at the seminar. Why not. I don't feel much like a good example but looking back on the pictures I know that I have come a really long way.
On a funny note, my sister is one of those strange 'I believe in aliens and astrological chart people'. I asked her to do my chart before I decided to go back to school for sure. She sent me a text back almost immediately and told me she could tell me right off that this year I was going to feel attacked at all angles. I almost laughed out loud. Maybe there is something to the chart thing.

Change it up! Its only hair color...you can color it again in a heartbeat! I think that it is great you are speaking at your docs office...you are an awesome motivator and I think you would inspire a bunch of them there!
ReplyDeleteNever ever too old to be unique! I can't wait to see pics!
ReplyDeleteI say why not? I would love to do something funky with my hair, I just don't know what. I think that color would look great with what you've got already!
ReplyDeleteCute hair cut! You will look great! I say go for it!
ReplyDeleteYou're never too old! At least, YOU are not too old yet. The cut/color are pretty cute, and I don't think it's as wild as some I've seen around here.
ReplyDeleteHope your stomach has recovered by now!
