Circuit 28:00 [3]
T25 Total Body Circuit DVD. I had very little interest in going out in the -15 C weather (-24 with windchill). Crazy that the weather has dropped 30 degrees C in the past 7 days! My right wrist was hurting a lot during this, likely due to the push-ups, burpees, and planks. I have an appointment with an OT on Friday.
And for Carol, a hair update! To recap briefly, Carol gave me the "Curly Girl: The Handbook" for Christmas, which is essentially a cult to embrace your inner curl. The basic principles are that curly hair needs to be treated differently and requires a lot of moisture. You can clean your hair with a sulfate-free shampoo or with a silicone-free conditioner, then you can conditioner some more if you want, scrunch your hair dry-ish, and scrunch in an alcohol-free, silicone-free gel. There are also an abundance of hair puns, curl trauma stories, and a 12-step recovery program for curly girls, which includes turning your curls "over a higher power". There is also a section for curly guys, and kids, so there are curls for all!
Adventures into my new curly hair life style have included an avocado hair mask (I recommend blending it instead of being lazy and using a fork--chunks of avocado falling out of your hair is less appetizing), reading many hair product labels (which is far more daunting than reading food labels for gluten), and bringing back the scrunchie. Today's task was a baking soda rinse to "remove heavy product build up". Since I've never really used hair products, there probably wasn't much to remove, and there wasn't much sizzling. My hair is still in the wet dog drying stage, so it's difficult to tell if anything has happened.
Good thing I'm going back to the real world soon, and away from this whimsical holiday land.
