Before I get into yesterday's crap day and meal planning... I have a burning question. Should I get a LOB??!! Ladies, I've been rocking my current hair style since 2000... seriously! And don't get me wrong. I love it and it's served me well. But i'm OVER IT. At my last hair appointment I asked the girl if she could do anything to my hair what would she do? She said, honestly, that she would do it how it is but if ANYTHING she would do a LOB ala Paltrow. I was excited... what ELSE?! She said nothing. My jaw was too masculine. WTF?! Anywho... i'm been eying the LOB... what do we think?! I made a hair appointment for Friday at 2 p.m. Holla back!!
Looking forward to your thoughts!!
Backing up... Yesterday I felt like a zombie. I looked like crap, felt like crap, the weather was crappy, and work was crappy. I was so busy I had to work through lunch, and after work I headed straight home. Yes, no workout. BLAH. And I had TONS of treats. True story. I was basically like whatever and just ate my way through the day. Shockingly, I ended up at 1,726 calories, 230 carbs, 57 fat grams and 80 protein grams. Here’s what I ate. I thought it was worse….. Still – the calories were from crap, not whole foods by any stretch of the imagination. But…. That’s okay! It happened and I got on track last night, cooked a bunch, put my meals in spark people BEFORE eating them and feel better already. Sometimes I worry I’ll be using Spark People forever. I just have no concept of feeling full, when to quit, willpower, etc., lately! I blame it on the season change. Hehe

I’m so excited – I've picked all of my new recipes and can’t wait! (yes, this is the weekend we’re in town ALL WEEKEND – woo!). I still need to make a packet for the second week – but the original first week packet is ready to go so if you want it just shoot me an email! (unless someone knows a way to link to word documents on here??!!)
BTW - I came across a great article today in my Eat This Not That newsletter: 15 Best and Worst Between Meal Snacks. I liked how it divided it up by different types of snacks, then showed what’s better or worse. And of course I always like when products I eat on the reg are in the “eat that” category. Where’s my gold star?! I got info from it – I want to find Dr. McDougall’s Ramen Chicken and popchips!! Anyone had these products? Like/dislike? Know where I can find them? Holla!
I’ll post today’s stats/exercises tomorrow – for now, I’m out!! TTYL!

OH I think a LOB would be cute! The only drawback I can see is with a trendier haircut like that you almost HAVE to style it for it look good. I knew this girl who got a bob and it looked great the day she came home with it but she never styled it right! It started looking like Florence Henderson lol.
Anyway just throwing that out there. I'm no one to talk, I haven't had a hair cut in 6 months :)
Florence Henderson??!! Oh my! haha You bring up a GREAT poin!! Well I have to make sure my LOB can get in some kind of ponytail... other then that i'm not TOO worried since i'm a prettier big styler and flat iron on the reg... hmmm. Now i'm concerned.
I DID fail to mention one thing. My hair grows freakishly fast. Like insane. (typically has been a curse; the blessing side could come in handy if I go LOB and it doesn't work for me....) hehe
i say do it!!! i think it would be cute....i am like reese though, and i never change my hair. for no other reason though, than i am a WIMP. So i say, go for it! :)
I think you should give the lob a try.
I think the LOB would look cute on you. I've had my hair shorter and my rules is that it must be able to fit in a ponytail (like you said).
Can't wait to hear the Crockpot Chicken recipe!
OK - dumb question - what is a LOB? I am familiar with a bob but not a LOB.
You're lucky you have nice, thick straight hair - you can do anything. I say go for it.
Me on the other hand - I fight frizz all the time and have a narrow face. That cut would never work for me.
And you do NOT have a masculine jaw. WTH???
You can totally rock the lob!
Um.... you guys are awesome!!
Jacey - Lob is a long bob!! So you were right!!
I think a LOB is great! Go for it! :)
Great, super organized, meal plan as always!
You can totally rock the LOB! Way cute :)
do it do it do it! love the lob! I've had a bob for half my life...and love the idea of a lob now that I'm growing my hair out. I wouldn't worry about the styling...you obvi do that anyway, plus a good styled cut is easier to fix than a plain jane cut (in my opinion!)
Love the meal packet idea! I might need one when I get back from Nashville!

Unsurprisingly, I was aware that the LOB existed. I think it would look cute on you--very chic! Though I don't know if I'd trust the opinion of one hairdresser. I don't think you have a masculine jawline or whatever.
Aw, I love the lob idea! It seems modern but very versatile!
Hope you're feeling better today!
I adore Lobs, and you can find popchips at The Fresh Market- there is one on Peachtree at the edge of B-head towards Midtown :)
I think that haircut is cute.
They have popchips at Target. Random, I know.
The haircut is cute!!
And breaded chicken sounds fabulous!
I don't do a middle part either, but I totally got a lob last summer. Love it! It's the perfect compromise between long and short. I think you would rock it!
I think that a lob would look good on you! I also think that you would notice a huge change in volume (less than what you have now), depending on how many layers she puts in!
I honestly don't like popchips... I've tried 2 (or 3?) flavors and they just aren't satisfying! I found them at Target.
That LOB will be so cute! Go for it! I pigged out yesterday too! I like putting my meals for the day in sparkpeople that way I know they are within my plan. I feel the same way about not feeling fulll - SP for life I guess!
I think a LOB would be so cute on you. You don't have a masculine jaw at all!! What's that about?
Great menus as always.
I just love long hair, so I'm gonna tell you to NOT cut your hair off-- BUT (and there is always a but), I know the feeling of wanting a change. I'm going through that at the moment-- I love my long hair and the way it looks, but I want something different..Hmmm...And a LOB wouldn't look good on my rounder face at the moment....
That being said, I think it'd be super cute on you, minus the middle part. BAHHA
I LOL'd at Reese's "Florence Henderson" comment.
plan- arent you ambitious?
I cant do a middle part- my forehead will not allow it. I wish though- those hair cuts are adorable.
Gwyneth? Not so much
Long time reader and wanted to comment and say you'd look great with that or even side swept bangs--but maybe I am partial because I have them, haha. And you so don't have a masculine jaw! Either way, please debut the new hair once you get it done! :)
I love her hair cut! I think you would look adorable with it! I have way too much hair to ever get a lob, but I bet it'd look cute on you!
I think you'd look awesome with the new haircut :)
I can't give you hair advice... I need some of my own!! I generally have very boring haircuts except for when I got the Victoria Beckham 2 years ago. Now I grew it out and am at loss again!
I've had popchips. They are ok, nothing to rave about. The and pepper flavor are VERY peppery which I am not a fan of. Their website lets you put in your zip code to tell you where to find them if I remember correctly!
I am the same way with my hair - I seriously have also had the same hairstyle for like 6 yrs. but I'm feeling kinda outta the loop/dumb - whats LOB mean? hehe
I love that you post our meal plan - can't wait to see more on that wasabi salmon... your enchilada casserole, have you posted that recipe?? I'd love to know what recipe you use =)
LOVE your new 'do!!! So cute!
Can you email me one of your meal packets? I have a feeling they will help me win a bet with Andrew! :)
Thanks!!!

You can totally rock the LOB! Way cute :)
