So, after a lot of thinking, discussing, planning, it looks like I'm going to sign up for a second Biggest Loser 12-week program with Troy.
I'm able to apply what I spent on the other program (6-week Advanced Health) toward Troy's group because I was able to show that my nerve problem was debilitating enough that I wasn't getting my money's worth. That was certainly true - unrelenting, burning pain over a fourth of your body sure does hamper a workout program. I'm just glad Hybrid is being flexible so that my money isn't wasted.
ANYway, the shoulder is better and I'm looking forward to getting back into a fitness routine. Not sure when we start, but probably this coming Monday. There's almost zero likelihood that I'll lose another 55 pounds. I'm shooting for 35, but this time around I have to be super careful about my diet. Which leads me to the bad news.
Because of my drastic weight loss this summer, my hair follicles have decided that they're pretty shocked and they're going to start acting crazy. Which is just my dumb way of saying - my hair is falling out. Yep, I'm shedding like a german shepard in the spring, and it really sucks. I'm even having dreams about visiting doctors, comparing myself to bald guys, and paying close attention to the Hair Club for Men commercials. I'm just nervous enough about it that I'm going to visit my doctor.
Now, I'm only speculating that the hair loss is due to the weight loss, but I'm pretty sure. I remember in 1989, when I was on an 800-calorie per day diet, my hair thinned, too. In fact, I'm not sure it ever really came back. But that was just on the top of my head. This seems to be all over, but of course, I notice it on the top of my head because it was thin there to start. Ugh!!
Gotta say, I'd rather be fat than bald.
