Feeling Lighter
July 10, 2007
The best indication that things aren’t going so well? I don’t update the website.
But my eating has been on plan and my exercise steady for the last three days. I like working out in the morning, getting it over with, and not having to dread it all day. I have a small goal for myself to have my heart rate up for at least 45 minutes per day (but can generally accomplish 60). I would like to be more enthusiastic and adventurous in my exercise, and my healing back might soon allow for it.
So even if I haven’t had a perfect week, I am lighter. I gave up a foot of my hair last night to Locks of Love. I feel like that’s a really big deal for me.
Before bed I was regretting it, crying like a maniac, realizing that my hair–my comfort–was gone. But this morning I remembered that a little girl with cancer will have hair on her head because of me. Who cares if my face looks chubby?
There aren’t a lot of times that I feel like God is telling me that I have something to offer, to give. But I think that this is one of them.

I wouldn’t worry about the hair. You look drop dead gorgeous.

You look fabulous and the haircut looks great. Wish I had 12 inches of hair to even think about giving away.
