Ladies will probably relate to this better than the guys, since most of us looove painting our nails!
Several months ago when I started logging religiously again, I realized that I was coming in way under calories each day. (because I am a Zumbaholic?) So recently I have tried to take charge and make sure to eat a little more one days that I teach Zumba so I wasn't constantly netting 800 calories/day.
As soon as I made this affirmation to myself, my nails started to grow! As someone who has never had strong nails (I'm sure it's due to poor nutrition) this has actually surprised me in a really great way. My nails are now super strong and hard, and so I went out and bought several new nail polishes and gave myself a manicure!
Funny how the littlest things can give you a little boost of self confidence. Here's to strong, healthy hair and nails!

That's awesome - I found that with eating so healthy my hair feels RIDICULOUSLY soft! I've never had course hair by any means, but it's so silky and happy!0

Yay!!! I can always tell when I am off track, my nails get real brittle and break off so easily.
Way to go on your NSV!!! :drinker:0 -
I was thinking about you this weekend. I was at my MIL's and she had a Zumba channel on TV. I didn't know there was such a thing :laugh: (we don't have cable) It made me think of you and then I was picturing you and the babies doing Zumba at home. :laugh:0
