It's been a while....

I know, it's been a while.... had a bit of a mental hiccup with my bipolar last month and I've been concentrating hard on getting myself back into a routine at home. Now that it is now somewhat intact, I'm ready to get back into the swing of things. One of my goals this year has been to grow my hair out long (yes, I know it will take more than a year, I've already got 11 months on it so far).... here is the starting point.... last June


This is how it started out, a short and layered pixie cut. I let it grow out through January when I just got the ends trimmed, and now it looks like...


This look was created by blowdrying hair out, my hair right now is curly/wavy....


I've been using Pantene Beautiful Lengths thinking it's helping the growing process, however it's got sulfates and is bad for my color. Does anyone have any recommendations for shampoo as well as leave in conditioner. I used Garnier's leave in conditioner but it leaves my hair 'crunchy' and looking like a Gheri-curl.

A lot of us out there started on New Years resolutions on the first, today I start again on a LIFE CHANGE! When I got sober I knew it wasn't just to placate the powers that be, I wanted to change my life... almost 20 years later I'm still sober, but due to the other factors in my life, I have replaced one addiction with another... alcohol for food.

Back at it again...

Like with any addiction, you can't do it on your own or without help. I'm back in the food wagon again, along with the mind and body as well. All part of my life and David's life as well, we're doing this together. I'm excited, not just about the losing of weight for vanity purposes (I'm not going to lie), but for the new life of feeling good physically and spiritually. When I saw myself in the commercial I was filmed in I cried... that was not me. I'm ready... what have I got to lose except maybe 70 lbs.
