Feelin' Good

Last night my friend, Andrea, came over for a beauty makeover evening. She gave my other friend, Kelly, and me haircuts. Kelly and I were both counting the days until our cuts because they were quite overdue. I love our hair cutting evenings for more than the haircut. It is always such a girls night gab-fest.

Also, I lost 2 1/2 pounds in my first diet week....21 more to go. At least I lost my "Oh my God, I ate like a pig during the holidays" weight. Now I am at my, "Oh my God, I ate like a pig on vacation" post vacation weight (which I never took off after my trip to Outer Banks in JULY!!). I have to remind myself that it will take a while to lose the weight but I didn't gain it overnight either. And when I think that 2 1/2 pounds isn't much progress, I need to remind myself what 2 1/2 pounds is equivalent to. I need to visualize that weight. 2 1/2 pounds is equivalent to 10 sticks of butter. I lost 10 sticks of butter last week!
