Wen

It is seldom that I try a new beauty product that impresses me enough that I want to tell people about it...today I did!

After months of deliberation, I finally decided to try the Wen hair cleansing system. I received it this week and tried it for the first time today. I know that it is too soon to see all the benefits that they claim, but for one day, I am impressed. First off, it doesn't lather, I was afraid that my hair wouldn't feel clean...but it does! The product gave my head a wonderful tingling feeling, long after it was rinsed out and starting to dry. My hair is soft and shiny and I am sure that will improve even more with constant use. The other thing that really took me by surprise was when I got in my car and closed the door. I smelled this wonderful smell and realized that it was my hair...once I was closed in a small place, the scent was very evident to me. It wasn't overpowering, just really nice! The product is more expensive than my usual hair care product, but it is the conditioner and cleanser in one. I always keep track of how long these higher end products last me so I can see if they really are that much more expensive. I will let you, constant reader, know how that works out, but for now, I am ready to recommend it!

Flowers...springtime...sunshine!!!

I got up this morning and took a walk. We went out for a light breakfast before heading home.  I have been doing my flower gardening in stages.  I love having flowers, but I am too lazy to do a lot of gardening so I did it in steps: Cut back dead growth from last year Attacked the weed-vine that invades everything in our small back yard. Attacked the weed - vine again...and again...finally found some of its roots and dug them out...that was no small task Put down some bags of garden soil...more exercise...they were heavy Put up a wooden border to keep the dirt away from the grass Today I finally planted my Iris', lilies, and  Aquilegia Took a break to write my blog I want my flower garden to be all Perennials so each year I will have a beautiful display without much work.  The hardest part will be keeping the invading weeds out!! Time for a shower!! Stay healthy and enjoy the weather!!  

13 Weeks!!

It has been 13 weeks since I started this challenge to myself...here I am down 20 pounds...that is better than a pound a week!!! I started losing even before New Years Day!! I feel so much better...today had two bonuses 1. I hit the 20 pound lost mark 2. SOMEONE NOTICED THAT I HAVE LOST WEIGHT!!!! Wow, what a feeling. I was at work, spent some time talking to a woman who I don't see very often and when there was no one else around she said "you're doing good losing weight...I was checking it out.. you look good" I thanked her and told her how much it meant to me to have her say it. She is heavy, also and I think that those of us in that club really want to make sure that we recognize each other for our successes. It made my day! I have a meeting on Thursday and I am hoping that I can find one of my smaller skirts that fits so I can wear it...what a great feeling that will be! I am already fitting into some of my smaller clothes. My big pants are fairly new so I am ...

Let's Recap...

Now seems like a good time to go back and look at my goals to see how I am doing. The last set of short term goals I set were these: 1. Eat a more balanced diet (less carbs, more protein and...silly as it sounds...more fat) 2. Stick to between 1300 and 1400 calories a day 3. No Lattes for a week... put $2.00 in my goal jar for every day I don't drink a Latte How have I done? 1. I really make an effort to eat protein with each meal...sometimes that is a handfull of nuts...I added them to a salad the other day and it was very good 2. Doing well here, I seldom go below 1300 and although I do go over 1400 some days, I rarly go above 1500, my top end goal is 1560 so I am eating a good amount of food 3. I have had one or two non-fat lattes since I started this goal...just like diet soda, the less I have them, the less I want them. I will review my other goals tomorrow!
