70pounds-HairLoss-ClosetPurge

Hi there.  I haven't forgotten about you, faithful blog followers.  Time has simply continued to elude me and even now, I only have a couple minutes but wanted to give you a quick update.
  • I've lost a total of 70lbs!  I honestly cannot even comprehend that number.  55lbs to go to goal.
  • I am losing hair at an alarming rate.  I was told to expect this around the 4 month mark, but I honestly was not at all prepared.  Thank goodness I have always had a full head of thick, healthy hair.  I can't imagine how I would deal with this otherwise.  I have been taking Biotin supplements and today I purchased some Nioxin shampoo/conditioner.  I hope this stops soon.
  • I have been buying clothes, shoes and accessories like it's my mother truckin' JOB!  I can't help myself.  It's SO.MUCH.FUN to get dressed when things FIT! (and look halfway decent)  Because of this, I decided to purge my closet of everything that was a Plus Size or any number with an "X" behind it!  This was surprisingly emotional.  I had a hard time getting rid of some things and I don't exactly know why.  I did it anyway because I am most certainly not.going.back!
  • I am strongly considering getting botox in my fore(FIVE)head and between my eyebrows.  I am so expressive with my eyes and when I laugh that I have deeper lines than I am comfortable with and now that I actually give a crap about my appearance, I am not going to look older than need be.  Vain?  Hell yeah.  I feel like it's no different than getting my nails done, hair colored, etc.  Just trying to make the best of what I've been given.
  • Loving Chipotle for lunch these days.  I get one little taco with nothing but pinto beans, cheese and meat (protein, protein, protein)  So good and cheap too! 
  • Summer seems to have arrived here in Northern CA and soon I will be going to Vegas for a girls getaway.  BATHING SUIT!  Not as scary a proposition as it used to be, but still....*shiver*
  • This blog isn't the only thing that was neglected in April.  I also neglected the gym.  I need to get my ass back there A.S.A.P.
  • I also want to write about how people kind of treat me differently lately but I'm out of time....
Soon, my pretties.  :)
