Progress Pics (sort of)

OK. so.. I am writing this post to escape..
But thought I would do so with some progress photos.. which remind me why I love my band.

So here is me in the beginning.


And then me in the summer


And here I am tonight (in all places my powder room)



I was really going to just start out this post so you could see my hair, which looked a whole lot better on Saturday morning.
But I think you get a sense of how the cut lays.. Ya all know I just turned 54!!  UGH I hate getting OLDER!!
It may not look very different from others, but it has some nice layers and takes very little effort to "blow and go" as I like to say. (that sounds terrible, but I am referring to my hair!!).

Anyway.. I did gain a pound and am now at 189.. I think its the chili.. but it actually feels good to eat once again..
Again, thank you for putting up and reading some of my nonsensical posts.. sometimes I just need to be in another place mentally...

hugs XX))

  11. SKEEEEEENY!

    Also, the haircut looks fab and you wear it way better than Ellen Barkin (who I thought of when I saw the cut).

    You look beautiful. I'm just sorry it's been such a rough road for you. Thanks for your thoughtful and positive comments on my whiny posts. xoxo

  16. You look great Barb and that new do is gorgeous. I am so tempted to cut mine. I love the 'bob' look, very short in back and than gradually longer in the front but I am a chicken.

    I cannot get over the difference in your face! You look so much younger today at 54 than when you started your journey! I can only imagine how young you'd really look if you didn't have all the worry in your life right now. You are both constantly in my prayers Barb. You are an amazing woman!
