Post Christmas Shame

So my three readers are probably on the edge of their seat as to what I did with my Christmas quandary. Well, I could go off and make this last for a while stringing you along with all kinds of stories and quotes citing strength and courage to stand against the social norm but I won't take that road.

I CAVED! With my husband's complete and active support I went and spent a shit load of money on a lot more gifts. He even got me to the mall! And Cherry Creek Mall at that. I know.. I know...I was weak. I had a wonderful Christmas and got a wonderful Christmas gift from my husband. Everyone got what they wanted and I got a piece of myself stored behind a locked door in my head, shouting out "You're just weak!"

With my conscience in tow I have spent the days after Christmas in a haze of happy memories and guilty feelings. I didn't over spend, I just didn't stay in the budget I allowed. I guess that's still something.  I have to write that to make myself feel better. As the New Year quickly approaches I have been re-evaluating my resolutions. I laugh to myself in writing this because I've always considered myself a strong willed woman but in this instance I have proven myself wrong. SO I have to work at my resolve.

I still intend to keep my balance resolution I am just shifting my focus from money to health. I will now balance my eating habits and my food intake to do what everyone in the free world is resolving to do: LOSE WEIGHT. Yes I said it.

I am going back on Isagenix. With my successful weight loss last time and the fact that I have actually kept it off even during the holiday season, I am a true believer in the product. I will attempt...yes no promises...to lose 30 pounds by July 2012. This will put me at my goal weight. I make no promises because if I lose more or a pound or two less I will not pigeon hold myself to a strict deadline. Perhaps I should but that is something I will re-evaluate as I go on.

Until next year...Have a Happy Happy New Year and my all your resolutions come true!

    I just love this Huggs :) And for my resolution record...I don't mind the two pounds on each butt cheek I get every time I eat a piece of CHEESECAKE :D

16 days later...

Well, it's been sixteen days since my last post and well I can honestly say that I am totally disappointed. I thought that I would see some sort of growth but I haven't. What's worse is that my nails are so thin and weak that I had to actually cut some of my nails because they tore. Not because they grew. They were weak to begin with but at least they feel a little better. I mean I can now take a shower and the hot water doesn't hurt my fingernails. I am also a bit perplexed at the my second to the last finger. If you look close you can see the part of the nail that had solar on it and the amount of growth but my nail never got longer and this is not one of the one's that I had to trim. Things that make you go hummmm.  So here are my nails. I have been using the Nail-Aid Keratin for 16 days. It says 3 days growth but in three days I saw no growth. I have been receiving e-mails and comments suggesting that I use the O.P.I. Nail Strengthening but I refuse. ...

Change of the guard, nail style

I have had the flu for the past week which offered me the opportunity to spend time with my nails. Turn a negative into a positive, right? Well, after my last post I thought about the products that I was using to try to get my nails to grow.  My Pinterest account  Jennipher Dallas  has been getting a lot of "likes" and repins. My board 'Nails I wish I had'   has especially been getting a lot of attention. One picture in particular has had over 300 likes/repins since my last blog. The picture is of the OPI Nail Envy Nail Strengthener. I did look up OPI and although they do not do animal testing but there is formaldehyde in it.  When you're sick you think about how you got sick and what you need to do to get better. So this got me thinking about the stuff in the products that I use. Formaldehyde has been linked with Cancer . Now, I'm not going to go into to all that stuff and preach about it. Everyone has to make their own decisions. But I decided t...

Dilemma-ethical-uh?

If you google the word dilemma it comes up with the following definition: "A situation in which a difficult choice has to be made between two or more alternatives, especially equally undesirable ones." Then goes on to give synonyms like quandary, predicament and vicious circle.  *Sigh* Well, wonders never cease in my world and for the sake of my sanity I hope my five whole readers understand what I am about to spill. Everyone has someone in their family that does not sit right with them (I'm trying to be ambiguous here for a reason). I am no different. I have no real family anymore. Since my father died almost two months ago, I have NO family anymore. Sure, I have a sibling, who is a complete and utter moron. This person is a run away from responsibility, self-centered individual who I have tried to help throughout the years. The other person is a selfish, self-centered, manipulative, gas bag who thinks the world revolves around them and goes out the ...
