Laying in bed last night, I realized that in the past several months I have:
- lightened my hair twice
- straightened my hair
- flipped repeated through Allure magazine to find out the best anti-aging products
- started using Latisse (www.latisse.com) to enhance my eyelashes
- considered a breast lift
- ruminated about the possibility of chucking my career to attempt writing full-time
- dedicated myself to The Plan to drop unwanted extra lbs.
If I were a guy and had created a similar list, the only thing missing would be a new sports car -- clear signs of the much-maligned mid-life crisis.
This attention to how I look is a recent evolution for me; I was always the woman wearing sweat pants and no makeup. Of course, I'd gussy up to go out, but I could pretty much get away with little attention to face and hair for a long time. No longer.
I'm still sorting out how I feel about all of this -- is it just a normal progression that comes with aging? Late-blooming vanity run amuck? Much ado about nothing?
Re: the Plan, all is well. Switched things up a little with meals but it didn't seem to impact my weight LOSS! Even snuck in a few sips of red wine last night. It's sooo nice to really fit into my jeans. Five days, nearly 5 pounds - I'll take it!
