Milk - Feeling sore!
Okay.. so this is the 5th day of my challenge..
I did Callanetics on Sunday and then yesterday I went to NY for my haircut and came back around 8 pm. There’s a few things I wanna talk about.. my hair… me throwing up… and the great callanetics!
I hung out with a couple friends and spent the rest of the time walking around NYC…
Okay, first thing I wanna say is.. My hair looks AWESOME! It’s perfect
So.. it took a total of an hour at Bumble and Bumble. They told us to come in with clean hair so I didn’t put any mousse or gel or anything.. I just washed, conditioned, and then put in a light leave-in conditioning spray and citre-shine laminating mist spray to seal in the moisture.. I think I put too much b/c my hair felt weighed down a bit but after walking through NYC and sweating (it was hot) my hair was puffier but.. not nearly as puffy as it would be if I hadn’t put all of that stuff in.
Anyway… so model U is basically that Bumble and BUmble teaches people who own their own salons and have had least 2 years experience how to do certain hair.. these people come from all over the country (the only two Bumble and Bumble salons are in Manhattan) and as they cut, they are watched by someone.
So.. for my hair.. they both actually said I had great hair *hehe* and kept complimenting me on it (sorry my hair has always been bad so this was a great thing for me to hear) and they just cut the top layers to remove some weight and trimmed a bit at the bottom.. so.. my hair looks.. AHH! It’s SO cute! I loooove it!
It’s still a good length but when she cut the top layers, it really created the kinda soft-wavy look that I wanted! It works perfectly for my natural hair! I love it.
Great experience! She washed n conditioned my hair (again) and then spritzed some B&B curling spray but not a lot and then twirled it and dried it with a diffuser. I have to say though, I think this is when I started to feel a bit sick.. I started to get a headache, I think it was from the blow-drying, she dried it for a much longer time than I am used to.
I also bought a bottle of water.. “flavored” water that actually tasted horrible, like the flavor had been diluted or something but I was thirsty so I drank it down, as much as I hated it.
When I met up with my friends, I did go and buy a orange/mango/banana vivianno smoothie.. but that was a lot more fruit than I should have had.. Before I left to B&B, I actually had a glass of that fruit/veggie smoothie and then I had a little broccoli with cheese (yes I know.. cheese.. but it’s one of those frozen things that I’ve noticed don’t affect me a lot).
Still.. I started feeling sick.. at first I just felt a headache coming on and as I waited for a friend, I went into the sweet factory at the port authority and bought some sugar-free gummies.. and I didn’t eat all of it, I ate only a few. Then.. as we walked around and after I drank down that smoothie.. I started feeling a bit nauseous.. but not a lot. i figured it was my headache and I needed water to drink. I didn’t though..
Once I got home, it got really bad so I took a painkiller and drank water.. but everytime I drank water, I felt worse.. so I ended up throwing up a bit….
Afterwards.. my head still was hurting really bad and Myles’ phone was messed up so I just headed straight to bed. I woke up around 8 this morning.. then slept a little more and woke up at 8:45. At least I’m getting into an earlier sleep habit now!
Okay.. so now.. Callanetics! I felt kinda sore yesterday, but I really feel it today! My arms, my legs, and my stomach. My weight is a little below 146, not quite 145.. it’s been like that since yesterday but I can only assume my body is retaining water, especially after yesterday. So anyway.. I don’t know if it is that I lost a bit of weight or not, but my body definitely feels.. and actually looks fitter! I know it’s probably in my head, but I can say that my stomach definitely feels and looks flatter/tighter. I really don’t know, but it is exciting! I only did it once and I already feel and look better.. so I’m definitely going to do it again tomorrow or friday, when my body is less sore. I didn’t do cardio yesterday or the day before.. but I will today. actually I just drank some water and was waiting it a bit before I stretch and go work out on the treadmill..
Today is a milk day so I’m going to just make a few shakes.
Anyway, I’ll update later!
