Some Changes In The Works......
Ok, so I'm making some changes and I thought I'd let you all in....1. On a whim, I got about 2 inches cut off of my hair today. Just to rid of the split ends, broken ends or whatever you want to call them pesky critters! I have been skipping my trims to save on money, but several months of no trims has taken it's toll! It feels so much better...but now I'm like, what the heck do I do with it? lol. This is also part of my prep for the color that I will be doing towards the end of the challenge. I had to get rid of those sun bleached ends. I desperately want a new style, and have for quite some time but still haven't come up with what I want to do. I don't want to lose any more length. The last time I chopped my hair off, it's taken 4 years to get it back! You remember those Pretty Cut and Grow dolls? That's the only doll I had when I was a child and I was so thrilled to get her, that on the first day I kept pulling and cutting, pulling and cutting, pulling and cutting, then..uh oh! It wouldn't pull anymore! I couldn't figure out why her hair wouldn't grow any more! (never said I was a smart child! lol) Anyway, I think I'm like that Pretty Cut and Grow doll....I'm just all out of hair! So I am not going to be bold enough to chop it, but if anyone has any style ideas, I'm game!
2. I made a doctor appointment today (you don't know HOW hard that was!) You see, my asthma has gotten increasingly worse, and I know I have to make some changes but I can't do it on my own. Being an acute asthmatic and a smoker do not go well together (he, he, he). I know, I know...and yes, I AM smarter than that...but my philosophy was always that I'm more than likely going to die of cancer anyway, so I may as well enjoy life! Cancer runs rampant in both sides of my family. Anyway...I made an appointment because I know I need to go back on Prednisone (just what I need, a drug to make me HUNGRY!), but I also want to talk to her about going on Wellbutrin to help me stop smoking. I've tried the patches, I've tried that nasty gum..I've even tried the Nicotrol, which are pretty much like fake cigarettes to help you wean from cigarettes while trying to deal with the actual habit of motion involved in smoking. I've tried to quit too many times to count. But I'm desperate, as I know I have to quit, and soon! I am concerned about one of the cautions on the label though. It firmly says not to take if you have had any form of an eating disorder. Years ago I inquired about this, and the doctor that I was going to did not know why..so he searched and searched, and finally had to call the manufacturer to find out that people with current or past eating disorders are prone to have strokes when using this drug. Do I take a chance? Stroke or cancer and emphesima? I have taken another medication in the past that had the same warning, but I never said anything to the doc because I was still in "hiding" about the eating disorder. No stroke then, so ??? Exactly why I want to talk to my doctor now.
So that's it....one baby step at a time!
Oh...and I ate clean ALL day! lol
