My beauty efforts have stopped, nearly completely. I think it has something to do with the season honestly. I have been in a funk lately which hasn't helped, and it seems to be seasonal depression. It isn't severe or anything, just annoying more than anything.
I have only weighed myself once since last time I posted my weight, and I am staying the same. I am both glad and disappointed that my weight hasn't changed. It would have been great if I had lost weight, but I am honestly very surprised that I didn't gain weight. I have not exactly been perfect with sticking to my diet. I have had zero sugar (because I know how rotten I would feel if I did) but I have had a tiny bit of starchy stuff. My fish soup had a little bit of brown rice in it to bulk it up some, and there have been a couple times I have eaten a slice of bread or a burger with the bun. I haven't been doing that regularly, but way more than I should. I also have not been getting my fat consumption as high as it should be, and have noticed that I haven't been feeling quite as good.
I have not been doing my hair or putting on makeup, haven't really been doing anything special for skin care either. I have been spending nearly all of my free time knitting Christmas gifts for family, and haven't really had the time for much else. Using the derma roller is pretty time consuming, and putting on lotion almost seems like torture when it is so cold. I guess right now I just care more about other things and am not putting much (if any) effort into taking care of myself. I haven't even been shaving my legs more than once every 2-3 weeks. I do still shower however :P
I know that I need to take care of myself, especially since I am getting depressed. I need to be doing fun things and trying to lift my spirits, but dang, that seems like a lot of work most of the time. I will probably hate myself come spring. I have had a fair amount of time to make progress with my skin and hair but my slacking has wasted all that time. First things first I suppose. I need to get a handle on my blue mood first. Getting a few needed improvements done to the house would definitely help with that. I should also maybe try to lose a bit more weight, I know that would make me feel better. Maybe I will take a shower and then paint my nails for a little pick-me-up now. What would really make me feel better would be to buy a new bra, as worn-out bras do nothing but hurt and make me look even more frumpy than usual. Goodness, I can't wait until the tax return. After getting a new-to-us car maybe there will be enough money for a few new things, like bras. I am rambling pretty severely now, gotta stop. Maybe I will force myself to do something positive to blog about.
