Who Knew.....Red Hair and 10lb lost

Who knew changing my hair color and losing 10 lbs could make me feel and look years younger.
First I was asked for my ID when ordering a Margarita (yes I was splurging) , I thought the waitress was joking or just being nice. Then when I was picking up my 14 year old daughter from her friend’s house, the dad thought I was her sister, not her mom. Wow Then I went to Roller Derby practice last night (I have not been for a couple of weeks) and though I have only lost 10 lbs, everyone was commenting on how "little" I looked and how they loved my hair. I was told that my hour glass figure and butt look great. To top it off I was told that my darker hair makes me look like Brooke Shields. Now I used to hear this comment all of the time, when I was about 18. Also at the end of practice we had to do bear crawls where we are on our hands and skates with our butts in the air and walk on our hands all the way across and back the rink. I have never been able to finish a bear crawl without stopping, but somehow I was able to do the entire bear crawl. Now I did vomit when I finished, but I chalk that up to eating something that did not agree with me, to close to practice. Either way I still finished. Overall I felt lighter on my skates, but not much energy so I probably needed more carbs for 2 hours of skating practice.This will definitely motivate me to continue.........
