My hairdresser was closed for nearly 3 months and so Ive got past that awful stage that short hair goes through.. I saw her two weeks ago and asked her to thin the top and make it neat but leave the length Im going to see how it grows..

My experiment with not colouring my hair went really well turns out my hair is still a natural light brown but it now has tiny flashes of grey.. One person even stopped me and asked where I got my highlights done!

For myself Ive decided to give pilates a go.. I need something I cant do zumba or any high impact sport any more and walking isnt enough..I will have to get used to the slow pace though, Im used to deafening beats and lots of jumping about.. Has anyone else tried pilates ?

I've thought about it in the past but never ended up doing it.

Good luck, and keep us updated. I know very little about it. I do dog walking in the afternoon, and in the morning, I do calisthenics.

I just heard that the building I have my clinic in, is re-opening. Looks as if I am starting back early August....

I checked out the calistentics but there are just too many movements that would put too much pressure on the joints I have to protect. The first go at pilates was ok feeling the stretch but no pain afterwards!

My targets are my back, stomach, buttocks, and pelvis muscles. Basically, those are the areas of risk for people in my profession.

Thats good. I don't call that overdoing it. I call it being smart. Why take a chance when you don't have to.

I always take my dog out for a walk. That's one of the best things about dogs. They make you shift your butt..........

one thing I need to do is to eat better

it's difficult though, I think because I'm such a picky eater and when I say picky eater, I'm the type of person to order off a children's menu at a cafe

it's really bad!
