Feather Head

I got home just a little while ago after spending a few days at my sister's house in Westchester.......I wanted to get a quick post in since it's Weigh In Wednesday! 


But first, as per many requests, here is a photo of the feather extensions I have in my hair:





I took this photo while I was in the car with the kids, waiting for it to stop raining, which made my hair a bit frizzy.  There is one thin dark red one, and two thin black and white ones....if I tuck them behind my ear, you can't really see them, I think they're funky : )

On to the weigh in results.....this week I dropped the pound I gained the week prior, I really upped my efforts, so I'm glad that the scale moved in the right direction.  Although the other night at my sister's house, I had a scoop of ice cream, and my brother in law joked that he was going to take a picture of me cheating on my diet and post it to my blog.  I'm back to a total loss of five pounds, with just a few more weeks to drop another five, so we'll see what happens.

In honor of Easter, here are the calorie counts* of some of our favorite Easter treats:

5 Peeps = 150 cal
25 jellybeans = 150 cal
1 Cadbury Creme Egg = 170 cal
1 large 7 ouce chocolate bunnt = 1050 calories

GHA!!

I hope everyone had a successful week, now I'm off to catch up on everyone's blogs!!!

    First, how is your sister doing?????????? Still thinking about her often and wishing her a speedy recovery!

    Second, I too love the extensions. It seems so perfectly you. Great choice!

    Third, great job on loosing the pound. So . . . .here's what I've decided about my pathetic attempt so far (besides the fact I suck at this challenge). I've decided that I probably won't loose even 5 pounds (but I will try to dig deeper and do better) - but the one thing that this challenge is doing for me - it's forcing me to stand on the scale (though I haven't yet this week) at least once a week which is keeping me accountable for my "off the wagon" behavior. . . and for that I'm very appreciative!

    The extensions are cute! Glad you got to spend time with family.

    I can't believe it takes only 25 jelly beans to get to 150 calories. Yikes.

    Cool extensions!!

    Oh geez. That calorie thing I didn't need to see. I always think if you are not aware of how many calories you are eating, it doesn't count. Also I think if you put hot sauce on stuff, it minuses calories away. Haha A girl can dream.

    How is your sister?

    I don't want to know calories of Easter treats. I like the black jelly beans. Maybe the colored ones have more calories!

    Hey girlie, I love the feathers! My hair dresser has been trying to convince me to put those in my hair for a while now. My hair is so short though!

    Hope all is well. Looks like Frank is getting bigger and you are getting smaller (congrats on the weight loss!).

    I also see that you've picked your second marathon. Super cool!

    Okay, silly question, but what happens to the feather when you brush your hair? Does it stay put? :)

    I love peeps... and yay for having 5 for 150 calories!

    And like the others have asked... how's your sister?
