Changes & Whatnot

Wow, it's been a while. Not that I have any readers, so I'll just get right into it.

Weight - I've been struggling with my weight for a while. With all my starts and stops I finally admitted to myself that I needed help. After my mom and one of my best friends suggested it, I started weight watchers. My friend T is doing it too. I've been on it for 4 weeks and I've lost 7lbs so far. You can't tell me I didn't lose 20 though, because I feel awesome lol. I can see the difference in my stomach (I was getting a little gutty) and I've lost a few inches in my waist, bust, hips, arms, and thighs (compared to measurements I did back in May). I'm happy and feeling motivated which is a first, because like I've mentioned before, I have an issue with instant gratification. Three pounds in the first week was instant enough for me to stick with it. I've had my slips here and there but I don't beat myself up about it. So far, so good.

Hair - I decided to go natural. I haven't permed my hair since March. I didn't really it a lot of thought, but after my mom's severe hair breakage she decided to cut most of her hair. That kinda gave me the push I needed to leave the perms alone. I noticed a lot of breakage in my own hair, mostly at the crown so I was obviously not pleased. I can't tell if it's growing back but I think it is. I  can see some curls coming in (tighter coils in the front, loose curls in the back, medium coils in the crown) but so far no real definable "hair type". I don't plan on doing a big chop as of yet so I'm transitioning. I guess I'll do some hair posts in the next few days to talk more about it.

Love - Still engaged. Still living together. Still no wedding date (or even plans). Still pissed about it. Moving on.

Work - The tee shirt company is coming along. We filed for an LLC and I just finished the logo and a few designs. I hope to have some printed or at least available online before the summer is out, but we're shooting for an event in early August so we can set up a vendor table. I'll probably post about it here when I'm ready. If anyone happens to stumble across this here blog and has any insight on purchasing a domain name please let me know.

That's about it. Later taters.
