The Battle

I seem to be going up instead of down at this point. I weigh 175.2 which is a set back. I decided to do a week or two of Myoplex and protein bars to reboot. Just like I was starting anew. I'm going to keep working out at work and try to get in to Curves at least 4 times a week. Also once I'm off the shakes I need to be vigilant about maintaining my food diary. And going back to weighing and measuring my food. All of it, just like from the start. I ran out of vitamin D a couple months ago and I think that is affecting me so I bought some more Tonight. I will start taking that again along with fiber, fish oil and multi vitamin. See how easy it is for important things to fall be the wayside and go back to old patterns? Oh well the first step is recognizing the problem right?

Today I made my first batch of hot process soap in the crockpot. I don't know if it came out alright. It looked pretty thick and chunky. I guess I will find out tomorrow when I unmold it. I will do a few more batches before I try to make transparent soap. I have been trying natural hair care products. So far Burts Bees, Aubrey, and Kiss My Face. Burts works well and smells great except the conditioner makes my hair come out in clumps at the root. Not good, had to stop using that before it went bald. Aubrey works well but smell not great. Have only used KMF once so far so the jury's still out. I do like their lipsticks. Well they are more like tinted chapstick.
