How have I been missing this journal? Awesome resources. Looking at that picture I have to wonder if Yoga got some of it's start when someone flipped through the Kama Sutra.

It's ancient and Indian like the Yoga Upanishads, and I DO think Kama Sutra came in the 3rd or 4th century where the Upanishads were written more in 7th and 8th.....but there were multiple authors, and Kama Sutra's first commentary was by Mallanaga V?tsy?yana.

I love the morning...not the whole "gotta get out of my cozy, warm bed" part of morning...but once that is over, I love the morning.
I spent the better part of this morning looking for my DH's wedding bands! Ugh!! They have yet to be found and now I just hope they arent being hauled off in the dump truck w/ our weeks trash!!
He had One wedding band and wore it during his first deployment. He was in a fire fight and jumped into the back of a humvee, taking a huge chunk of his white gold wedding band. During the second deployment he asked for a titanium ring. So he now...or he then had two rings. Since his Army days are now over...he's gained weight. He wears NO wedding band now...b/c neither fit. I put his rings in his night stand in a little heart shaped box...now the box is missing
**sigh** I hate misplacing things and spending time looking for them!! BIG PET PEEVE!
Other than that...its FRIDAY!! Yay!
I think we're having dinner w/ some of his co-workers and then I want to go see a movie. Tomorrow I have a 4-6hr hair appointment!! Yikes!! The price we pay to feel pretty
I practiced some yoga last night I really like the way I feel right after stretching...I'm going to make sure the next gym I join has yoga classes!

WORD! 
I had already had a light breakfast and my co-worker brought a vegetarian breakfast burrito for me! I ate it but pulled out a lot of egg, cooked eggs give me gas and I hate the texture, quite frankly . I think I'll just have my lunch a few hours later.

My wedding band got too tight so I got it streched. It only cost something like 30-50 bucks. Not bad, in my opinion. Now that I've lost that weight and then some, it's so loose that it'll fall off. I have to wear a hair tie around it so that it doesn't.
Your husband might also like wearing it on a chain or leather thong around his neck. Keeps it close to his heart.

Had a pretty uneventful weekend....which was nice
However...I feel GROSS and have NEVER wanted to wash my hair so badly!! I went and spent the better part of Sat. getting my hair "did" I've done this for @4 yrs...so I'm pretty familiar w/ the process. A new girl did my hair Sat. my old stylist moved and this new girl is the only one in the area that is trained in Japanese Straightening. Very sweet girl and so far seems as if she did a good job. However...I don't know WHAT she did with the conditioner but I DONT think that she RINSED it out!! Yuck. Once you get the straightener done, its recommended that you don't wash your hair for 2-3 days. I've never had a huge problem waiting 2 days, yeah its nasty...but not reallllllly realllllly nasty. This time...I left the salon feeling like I needed to wash my hair and that was SATURDAY...can you imagine what my hair feels like TODAY!! 
NASTY!! I don't know how some people go daysss even weeks w/out washing their hair. So I'm super excited to be able to wash my hair tonight, LOL..how random!! On a bright note, the new girl charges less, not much, but still less than my previous stylist...so that was cool.
I spent all of sunday making cake decorations. Fun. I loved play-doh as a child and sculpting was one of my favorite classes in college...so its only natural that I like sculpting cake!! It's a new hobby I've recently started but its fun We're (myself and a friend) are working on a super bowl cake...way cute. I know...it's probably a sin to talk about cakes in a weight-loss forum...but I didn't eat any Though it smelled great 
I told DH about my desire to join a new gym and possibly get started in some type of new fitness hobby, he said go for it and if I really enjoyed whatever I decided to take up, he would join me awww.
It's monday, blah...

Wow, how long does it last? You should straight up (Ha, get it? Straight up?) ask her next time if she left some product in your hair. Yuck!
I know exactly how you feel - I've got about a 48 hour no-hair-washing limit before I have to drop everything and find some soap and water. I'd probably be a miserable camping buddy.

It lasts 9months to a year...usually closer to a year for me
Usually my hair is pretty easy...it doesnt DEMAND to be washed, I just wash it b/c...well not washing it is nasty. However, whatever she left in my hair is just making it NASTY!! She told me she was using a new conditioner...I didn't think much about it, but now that I think about it, I think she said a new "leave in conditioner" ...yuck.

I feel ya--some women have no problem going long periods of time without washing their hair and it seems to actually be better for them. MY scalp is naturally oily, and I HAVE to wash my hair everyday--BUT since it's so long, I also HAVE to put leave in conditioner from the base of my neck-->down to the tips. This works for me, keep my hair nice and shiny with some body, and not dried out.
I'm so sorry to hear about your ex-dog What are you going to do?

Yayyyy shower time!! I can wash this Nastyyy hair, lol.
I've had the weirdest day...just blah. Maybe its b/c its monday. I just feel crummy. I'm upset about the possibility that I may have to re-home my dobbie AGAIN and that the "wonderful" home I THOUGHT I found for him just isn't all that wonderful...**sigh**
I'm heartbroken for him
On another note...I've been eating crappy. Whenever I eat crappy I feel crappy...so I've got to get my eating back into the swing of things. It's not that I've been eating crappy food...as much as just crappy food, lol. Like I havent been eating whole meals...just snacks here and there and not my usual good whole foods...but like, today for lunch I ate a lean cuisine, blah...it was all I had. Then for dinner I ate 2 organic frozen waffles sans the syrup (still trying to kick the sugar habit for my pre lent challenge). I need to start eating balanced meals again. Today was just crummy. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.
Once I figure out what I'm going to do w/ the dog...I'm sure I'll feel better.
oh ps. I took my measurements today, I've got to start working on getting some lean muscle!!! I've been slack on the strength training since i first started doing the routine suggested...but I'm starting in on it full force this week.
OFF.........to wash my HAIR!!! Yessssssss.

So, my hair smells good today, haha. I'm a bit sad w/ the out come. I think she left the solution on too long...**sigh**. Oh well...I have really long hair, so if it comes down to it, I'll trim some.
I've had a much better day today. Last night I organized my home office a bit cleaning always makes me feel refreshed..lol..seriously.
I felt a bit tired this morning but decided it was all in my mind and forced myself to think positive thoughts and to stop thinking about my cozy bed at home. I'm working on ANOTHER home for the dobbie...still frustrated w/ that situation...but I know it will work out in the end.
I was eating peanuts for a snack right before lunch and a lady walked in and said "youre going to get fat"....uhm...excuse me?! I just looked at her and smiled...so what did she mean, I am fat and shouldnt be eating? I'm going to get fat b/c I'm eating peanuts but I'm not fat just yet...weird. However, being a female I had to over think it eh' oh well...I ate three more and put them away, LOL.
Man I wish we had a healthfood grocery store near work. I loved that we had one right down the street from us in HI. I used to go there for lunch and get an all vegan salad...for some reason I was CRAVING one of those today!!
I'm headed to the gym after work. Should be fun
oh...I made a lovely mistake at work today. I went to email a purchase order, our orders are on excel sheets. Well...instead of just emailing the purchase order I emailed the entire excel file!! What does this mean?? Basically I sent all of our price quotes from every other supplier to ONE of our suppliers....yep I screwed up. Lucky for me I **think** they thought that I was just asking for quotes back from them, so they deleted out the expired prices I had down for them and sent my file back updated, hahaha...well...I hope I can laugh about it...we'll see what becomes of that little mishap. **sigh**
My lips are BEYOND chaped!!! I've smeared, gobbed and COVERED them in vaseline every night and kept burts bees chapstick on them during the day and NOTHING...NOTHING is working!!! How very frustrating!!
It doesnt feel that dry or windy here...I don't know WHATS causing it!
eh' only 2 hrs left in the work day, yipeee!

I did I did!! and I am I am!!! You would be proud...hopefully I can post buff pics in the future!!
ps. I'm doing it..b/c I should...but just so you know weights are still boring!! I like moving and staying active, it keeps me from over thinking. I won't quit though, I def. want vals abs!! and some tone thighs!!

Sorry to hear you're bored with the weights.
It's a different kind of exercise so it's not going to have the same impact as cardio.
They each reap their own rewards though, and for most, said rewards is usually enough to keep them interested. Maybe you need to start focusing on this angle more?
I also look at it like a challenge. I like to learn/implement new exercises, break personal records, push myself, get stronger, etc, etc.
Hopefully your outlook regarding weight training will improve!
