It's Always the Little Things!

I have been working out pretty regularly lately and found that motivation to get the gym in the morning was slowly declining. Why is that? Well for me it was the fact that I do not eat breakfast for an hour after my first workout in the morning so the time it takes to get ready, get to the gym and then complete the workout is the difference between feeling good and feeling famished! So upon waking I found myself not very motivated to get up and get ready, but rather wander to the kitchen for something to eat. Well, that was until I found that "little" thing that turned it all around. Fake hair!

That's right....fake hair! I can't believe it either! More correctly named faux hairstyles, these things let you clip and go! I can't tell you how ecstatic I was after I bought this and found out how beautiful it looked on. It looks like I spent an hour on my hair at 5:00 a.m.

I purchased Toni Brattin's fake hair and it has saved my life! You can find her hair products at http://www52.hsn.com/toni-brattins-beauty-secrets_c-bs_a-161_xc.aspx?gs=&sz=2&prev=hp&ccm=BS. I purchased the can-do combs and those suckers STAY PUT when I'm working out. It only requires 1 minute to put my hair in a pony tail and then pop it in. I don't even need a mirror (usually clipping it in on my way to the gym). When I get to the gym I feel good....put together....energized to do my workout. I have found getting up in the morning and heading to the gym is soooooo much easier for me. It really is true, when you look good, you feel good.

Now this might not be the thing to get everyone motivated, but this little thing worked for me! I never would have guessed that a piece of fake hair would be the thing to help get me in shape. I wonder what other "little" things will work? But until I find them, I'm grateful for my fake hair.
