Shedding

I'm shedding hair like mad! It's EVERYWHERE! I can't stand stray hairs, they bug me. I'm finding them everywhere and it's getting annoying.

I have to say that my hair is one of my best features. I've never coloured it -- never really thought about it -- but now the colour is starting to fade and I'm sad about it. I've developed quite a bit of gray underneath at the temples. It really shows when I pull my hair back.

I managed to drag my ass out of bed this morning and get to the gym. I only had time to do 18 minutes on the elliptical before my 30-minute Gravity class started. I hardly feel like I worked out at all.

Today's weigh-in was depressing. Last Friday I weighed in at 167.8, which was a new low. On Monday, it had crept back up to 169.8 but I had just started my period, so that was to be expected. Today, I weighed in again and I'm up yet ANOTHER pound to 170.8, effectively negating the three pounds I thought I had just lost. Grrrrrr.

So, what am I going to do about it? With Christmas coming in a mere 30 days (not to mention that the "holiday season" will actually start for me next weekend with two parties on Friday and two on Saturday), I want to make sure that I don't gain any more weight because I certainly won't be able to lose any for that three-week feeding frenzy known as the Christmas holidays!

Any suggestions on what I can do to kick things up a notch?
