Hair we go again

Ok, so my 800 aim today was a bit of a flop because when I happily had 349 calories left to consume as an evening meal, my mum insisted on ordering PIZZA. I only had 2 slices, but one probably had about 400. Bah, pizzas! We were watching ET at the time (a film I haven't seen since I was a kid and it SCARED ME SHITLESS) and the alien sort of put me off my food... huh, who knew?

I'm still going to go for 600 tomorrow though. I don't want to faff around on such a huge number as 800. And tomorrow the exercise is coming back! Not as good as the gym, but at least I can unearth the workout DVDs...

I've been doing a little exercise in the mornings to tone up my back. After HORRIBLE pictures I've decided my back is a target zone. Here's an easy one called the banana: lie on your stomach, stick your hands by your ears (the way you would if you were doing a sit-up) and raise your upper body off the floor. Hold for 2 seconds, lower, and repeat 20 times. I'm doing it every day and hoping for results! It's great, as if you take your hands away from your ears and put them on your back whilst you're tensing, you can really feel your back muscles working! Makes me fantasize about having a perfect back... random, eh?

I've been thinking more about the hair colour, too - Ariana had a good suggestion, maybe dark red will look pretty, and others have been suggesting that too... hey, worth a shot! If I hate it I can always dye it back. I'm thinking Cheryl styleeeee. Check it:


Oh man, she's too hot. All my bloke mates are obsessed with her. Shame about the accent. Never been a fan of those dulcet Geordie tones (big up my Newcastle-rs if, err, any are reading, you know I love you really!)

Anyway, the colour's what I'd like. I think I'm just gonna go to the hairdressers and say 'I want it dark red like Cheryl Cole has.' I'd love to take that pic with me but there's no way of taking it with the colour coming out that well on print. I can only hope they can recreate that without having to bleach it. The idea of bleaching it terrifies me... not least because I have Asian hair, so it'll go a horrible pale ginger colour!

I'm going tomorrow, hopefully. Or soon. I would upload a picture but I have no idea how to do it given I have no camera (and I'd have to blur out the face for anonymity purposes.) But fingers crossed it'll look ok!

Just had a really frustrating conversation with my mum about it.

Mum: "So how do they dye your hair?"
Me: "They'll put like a cream in it, then leave it for a while, and it dyes it."
Mum: "Like a toothpaste?"
Me: "Well, like a cream. Like shampoo or something."
Mum: "When they do my highlights they put foil in it and do the roots separately..."
Me: "Yeah, that's highlights, they just stick cream in and leave it for complete colour."
Mum: "Is that half-head or full-head?"
Me: "Full-head, Mum they're not highlights, you don't even have those options."
Mum: "So haven't you dyed it before? How do you do it?"
Me: "Yes, I put a cream in and leave it!"
Mum: "So how will they do it?"
Me: "They put a cream in and leave it!!"
Mum: "Alright, I was just asking!"
Me: GDLSJFDKSJFSDJ

Bless her.

  1. hahahahaha, my mom can be dumb like that too. hahaha, I laughed out loud.

    Pizza is my WEAKNESS. My best advice is to always stick with ONE slice. Eat it really really slowly. That way when people are on they second or third slice, they'll look at me and ask, "Is that your first or second slice?" And I'll be like, "Uh, this is my second..." Duh, 'cause it's been forevaa...haha.

  2. hahahahah go mum :) such concepts go over their heads sometimes!
    pizza is the devil because you have one piece and then you just have to have another, then another.....oh the cycle continues.
