improve my appearance

...but me feets are looking even better. Soon they will be soft and smooth as a baby’s bottom.

I’ve gone back to the tanner twice now. My legs and such were getting pale. I’m going to try covering my face with towel to see if this helps.

I’m continuing to let my hair grow out on the sides (so that it’s the same length as my payos).

My feetsss are starting to look purrrty.

Well, sadly, I’ve done nothing “much” on this goal.

Tanner – I’ve not been back in a few weeks. This was because friends said my face was getting too dark. Still, I’m thinking I might just pick this back up.

Elbows – I’ve not been back to the tanner (as stated above), but my bows still look good.

Current – Foots… I’m working on my feets (thus the trip to the feets doctor). I want to look good from my head to my toes. How VAIN is that?! Right now, they’re looking pretty decent. I’m having to looking into all kinds of foot scrubs, etc. for the heels and stuff. How weird.

My hair? What’s up there? I’ve decided to grow my hair out (on the sides). I normally shave the sides (except for they payos – sidelocks) which looks very weird and leave the top with a pony tail…. I know, sounds horrible. Well, since I can’t shave the payos (which I like anyway), I’ve decided to just grow it all out….......... In the end, I’ll just have single braids. Kinda like the picture, but with a full set. Does this make sense to anyone? lol

I don’t often get compliments. And, as a guy I fully understand the taboo of giving another compliment to another guy. That’s why I was shocked at hearing these two compliments today.

One guy at work: “Man… you look hungry Avi, you want me to buy you a sandwich? You’re wasting to nothing, but looking good.”

Second guy at work: “Wow… what a transformation. Boy, if I swung that way… (laugh)”

I took a picture with my cell phone so you could see me, but believe me, it’s nothing special which prompts me to again say… “I must have been BIG AS H_LL!”

From the neck down, my body is starting to look pretty good. However, my face is getting to dark – on my big o’ forehead! I was thinking of placing a towel over my face when tanning. Or, I could use a strong sunblock.

What do ya’ll think?

Leaving work today, someone mentioned my skin tone. They concluded by saying, “you look very nice, you’re kinda… golden.”

So, the tanner seems to be helping, but very slowly. You’d think I’d tan quicker the slick, but no, not me.

Get this. We just talked last week on 43things about my elbows being jacked. So, anyway, I was all prepared to take the advice given here. Then, in the gym, my friend asks, “So, what are you doing for your elbows, they look great?” Of course, I NEVER look at my elbows (on a regular basis – which is why they were jacked). So, then, I took a look and low-and-behold, they did look great. The only thing I can think of is that the sun tan oil and the heat from the tanner has given me some super oil spa treatment.

...sixth time that I’ve been to the tanner. I don’t like this because it’s such a slow process. And, I stay in for an entire 15 minutes each visit. However, I’m finally starting to notice a difference. The bronze look is happening. Of course, I don’t do this for color (obviously – except on legs, etc.), but because it totally evens out my skin tone. Starting to look decent.

My friends tell me I NEED to work on my elbows – they’re jacked. LOL… I never use lotion on them, etc. (or the rest of my body for that matter). I guess, I’ll look into a scrub or something today and start a regime for this. Any suggestions?

THE SCALE – must avoid! Each time I go to the gym now, I feel the need to weigh myself. I don’t like that. I’m down 37 – 42 pounds.

GLASSES – purchased new stylish glasses.

I wanted to share this somewhere.

My new pocket watch arrived this weekend. It’s awesome. On one side is the star of David and on the other a Menorah. Then the face of the watch is in Hebrew and get this… The clock rotates to the left.

This will be part of my NEW fashion. By-the-way, I ordered this prior to my commitment of saving $$.

Well,

I’ve ran out of clothes completely now. I’ve lost 33 pounds as of May 1, 2006, and will not weigh myself again till April 1, 2006 (I hope). At any rate, all my clothes are now to big.

This is a good thing, but I guess my improvement will start with getting some new clothes… Now, new clothes will impede on my goal of saving money so me thinks I will have to visit some upscale thrift shops!!

This might be interesting because I’ve been looking a fashion magazines (something I’ve never done), so I think I might be interested in purchasing “fashion” ensambles.
