Lazy Fussy Thursday

HeiHei
I haven't been to busy lately. But I have an update on the exercise: I beat the trikk the first day I tried. So my run time is about 10 minutes from Oslo S to Sagene-not bad. 2) I lost 2 kilos (roughly 4 pounds) 1.5 kilos was water weight, I am assuming, and .5 (1 pound) was actually weight loss from my gooey warehouse. It's been about 1.5 weeks since I increased my frequency exercise, so it's a pretty good start. I feel my thermo-genesis kicking in a lot. I also am building my endurance and stamina again. So far I haven't gotten bulky either. I am still trying to get at least 2 liters of water in my system a day...sometimes it's a pain. It does help my hunger though. When I am done eating I gulp down my .5 liter of water and it fills all the extra space in my stomach. I feel full and don't have to deal with distracting hunger pains.
I don't have any definite plans for Easter, but wish I could see my family or do something instead of sitting around Oslo. I also wish my family didn't live in Ohio. I have never particularly warmed up to Ohio's many miles of spoiled nature covered in drab concrete, asphalt, and hideous forbidding architecture surrounded by an atmosphere of air pollution. But I can only speak for the Cincinnati and southern half of Ohio. I miss my family. Talking on the phone and writing just doesn't fill the void. When I get a full-time job, I'll be able to travel home again...got pass my language test!

Bought some Hair Stuff

Since I moved here, I have been slowly restocking my hair arsenal. I am using the Organic Root Stimulator Olive Oil product line. So far I am having wonderful results with it. I wash my hair everyday, so I needed a mild shampoo and a kick ass conditioner. Today I bought the Wrap/Set Mousse and Glossing Polisher. Some other things I bought today include: Hair Pins, Small Plastic Magnetic Curlers, a Conditioning Cap, Rat-tail Comb, Spray Bottle, and a Comb Attachment for my hair dryer. I don't use my hair dryer much (so far only once this year and maybe 2-3 times last year), but I need this attachment to help loosen the coils when I want to try different styles.
My next hair style experiment is styling some Shirley Temple Curls in my natural hair. I don't want them to be the stiff ribbons you get when you set your hair with a lot of product. My goal is to get a well defined curl, little frizz, healthy shine, low product build up, and touchable curls with some bounce. If it works out, I will style my hair in a curly Mohawk like the photo above. It was my goal for last X.mas...but I was too lazy :P

Psyched for the New Routine next week

A little about me. I have been *not myself* for a long while. In fact, I lost a lot of confidence in myself. I was sure that anything positive or outstanding I did was because I was forced to in some way. Was I always falsely motivated? I was smart, but I didn't care. I only started excelling at school to hopefully make my father want to be...my father. And also, if he didn't want to be my dad-I would become a magnificent daughter who would shun him in his old age and hopefully send him to his grave regretting and miserable. Yep, I was that screwed up.
I got into the military for pride, patriotism, and to lower the amount of mouths to feed at home. I ran myself to death because my asshole ex belittled women saying, "The strongest women in the military were equal to the weakest man." So I busted ass at PT to prove him wrong. I was one of the top airmen, only because I hated being told what to do by people I thought were more ignorant than me. I know there are a lot of good reasons why I excelled, but I used my negative energy as fuel everything I did.
But now I am starting to find my fire again...one my own. It is actually frightening. I am nervous of failing myself, but nervous of succeeding as well. But I am very competitive, and a big part of me refuses to lose to *Suckie BonBon* So tomorrow...She's going down.
