Home From Hawaii

Well, I am back home from Hawaii and happy to be so. Most people think of Hawaii as a land of paradise, maybe it is at a local hotel resort where you do not go out onto the island and see the real Hawaii.

Anyhow, after getting sick while there, I am still getting over this awful cold I caught now. I thought for sure I would have gained a lot of weight while there since we ate out at almost every meal for 12 days. Luckily when I arrived home I had actually dropped 1.4 pounds. What a surprise.

Now, I just need to get back into my daily routine and keep working on my weight loss. I still have 49.4 pounds to go to reach my goal. It is getting so close I can almost touch it. I cannot slow down now!

My Hair is Growing Back In!

Well, I must say, I am quite surprised to know that my hair is growing back in already. I had read where it can take up to 9 months post-op before your hair will stop falling out and begin growing back.

It dawned on me the other day that my hair was no longer falling out, and it hasn't been for the past month when I really think about it. Then, I noticed all these little hairs sticking up everywhere on my head. Yikes, my hair look hideous! It is poking through all the very thin hair that is left and I look ridiculous. I look like a bald man with a bad comb-over (ugh!).

So, I went and got my hair cut. Thank goodness I have a wonderful hair stylist from New York who can cut my hair. She was surprised to see how much my hair has grown in since the middle of December when I went to have her cut it while it was falling out. She was also surprised to see that I was looking so much thinner as well. In fact, today I weighed in at 166.2.  It can only get better from here!

I am happy to have my hair growing back and this is the hairstyle I chose and I think Brittany made me look great! Now, I am not embarrassed for people to look at my head.
