Hair

Well, my hair is starting to fall out. Not that I am going bald but I am seeing a lot more hair on my hands when I wash my hair. It is an inevitable side effect of rapid weight loss; because the first month or so I was not getting enough protein. It will grow back. Lucky for me I have thick hair so it probably won't be noticeable, but I have gone back to my natural curly hair. All the blow drying and flat ironing seems to be more stress than my tresses need.

On a positive note, I am now a size 10 (I was a size 18 before surgery). One thing I have noted is that sizes have gotten bigger - meaning the last time I was this weight (about 20 years ago) I was a size 14. They have defiantly reworked women's clothes sizes to make us all feel smaller, but I'm not complaining.

I am meeting with a personal trainer at the Y on Monday to get a fitness assessment. I need to get on a program to tighten everything up. My skin and muscles need tightening. After all we will be in Hawaii in about 6 weeks and don't want to look all "saggy" at the pool.
