Overall Body Wellness...Hard to come by!

So when I first decided to kick start my healthy summer, my goal was to achieve overall body wellness... easier said than done! There were a few things that I figured I would tackle; teeth whitening and perhaps wearing my retainer, working out and eating healthy which was planned to lead to being skinny, and getting a tan bod. I am now over a month in and still going strong on the path... but I'm still not seeing any results that make me jump with joy and explode with motivation.
Clearly, the off brand teeth whitening was a complete bust, I figured I would revisit the whitening path closer to school, that way they will be at their whitest when I need them to be! I should really start wearing my retainer... but it just hurts so bad!
As far as working out and eating healthy, I have done really well lately! Seriously! I just don't really see the difference. Then again, I just spent a while going through my pictures from the end of last year and I was truly repulsed. Maybe that should just keep me motivated?
I have been going to the pool in my one piece and working on getting some color. Last year I signed a year contract with "At The Beach" for unlimited spray tans. Little did I know, it took about one month for the entire concept to completely gross me out. Now I am paying $50 a month for something that literally is never used. Neat. I don't know what I was ever thinking though, seriously! Spray tans smell SICK, look sick, and the come off in awkward blotches... once again- sick! Every picture of me that I am spray tanned in I literally look like a monkey. SICK! So bottom line- I will be laying out a lot this summer. Today I did something that once again repulsed me. I went to the pool and laid out in a TWO PIECE. This was an extremely premature move and I looked like a beached whale. I hated every second of it. Note to self- being in a one piece is bold ENOUGH for summer 2010!
Okay so with all of that wellness underway... I have realized that I have been missing a key ingredient to looking my best... my hair! On the DAY of my 21st birthday...in January...I decided that I wanted a drastic change...why? I still will never grasp the answer... so I went and got a freaking dyke bob. Yes, that is what I have come to call it. My hair was cut off. For some reason I didn't make the connection that fat people are fatter with a dyke bob...well I didn't make the connection till my hair was on the floor of that horrible place and I was left with 21 pictures of dyke bob and spray on tan. I am cringing thinking about it. So even though it has been so long, it is still at a length that I consider a dyke bob. It was gotten so much better, but really, people still ask me if I just got my hair cut...it has been almost 6 months! NO! The dyke bob was a horrible horrible mistake. How do I grow out my hair at a faster rate? I think that is a lost cause. Maybe I will start using horse shampoo?
Also, I have a sick third eye right now which is never encouraging. NEVER. It stares at me every time I see a mirror. Dyke bob + third eye is almost as bad as dyke bob + spray tan....almost. Regardless, chipmunk cheeks and a triple chin make all of the above even worst.
Bottom line, I am still going strong, and still not seeing any instant results. I try to tell myself it is working, but sometimes I just don't believe the lies. I have 44 days till I move back to school... 44 days!
Work out, eat healthy, lay out, whiten teeth, wear retainer, invest in PROACTIVE, take great care of my hair....
Let the journey continue!
