I've had these huge jars of powdered chlorella for years and they expire at the end of THIS year, so I'm biting the bullet and taking it.
When I first started chlorella, I used the pills and figured powder would be easier. Oh, how wrong I was. It's DISGUSTING. And I have four or five jars of the crap.
Anyway, ya'll wish me luck. I started it last night and it was a struggle. But it's spectacular for health and it also aids in hair growth, sooo :crossfingers:
Surprisingly I'm sticking to my reggie. I'm also eating a lot cleaner, and I will begin my juicing, yoga, and gym reggie this week....
everyday wash and go's. I can only do these every now and then for emergency reasons only. I got my hair cut today and I cut it really short in an attempt to get rid of the ssk's and split ends. I may have about 2" of hair left on my head and I it.
Sooooooooooo I guess I need to post a new starting pic, eh?
Checking in:
- I have been working out pretty regularly since the beginning of the year. I added one more day of workout since I slacked during a big move at the end of the year and my trousers are tight! I will keep it at 6x a week until the end of March when I start training for my first marathon. I am a pretty healthy eater, but have upped my protein intake. Starting next week, we'll have protein as the main course for 3 nights during the week.
- I like to co-wash whenever I work out so I have been co-washing almost every day. I alternate between puffs and wash'n'gos. So far so good and I enjoy doing my hair everyday. I know as it gets longer, I'll have to switch it up, but I am keeping this reggie for the first half of the year.
- I am taking my vitamins and supplements regularly. I bought one of those daily/weekly, am/pm pill boxes the elderly use and that has kept me on track. I am massaging my scalp with an emu & evening primrose oil mixture. I think what I have should last until the middle or end of february. Once those are done I will switch to coconut oil.
- I am washing and DCing my hair once a week. I'll do my first henna treatment of the new year next month and did a light protein treatment this past weekend.
TLR I am on track with my plans and hope to continue.

Since i have been drinking my greens, i have noticed all the white spot on my nails has gone (althought i was taking a multivitamin before that, but never got rid of the white spot), and my skin is glowing big time!!!
it is so great and fast!! try spinach, frozen banana, yogurt (soy, any..) and dates!

Hello people!
Just checking in.
In Senegalese Twists right now.
Tomorrow I am going to start incorporating protein drinks into my diet..probably for breakfast with some fruit or something .
Just an extra boost of protein from time to time
SkySurfer - hey girl thanks for checking in!
Out of curiosity, since starting med school; have you learnt anything to do with the scalp?

Except for New Years Eve i am wearing my hair 'out' (in a braid out) for the first time in nearly 3 weeks.
It feels weird and i feel like i'm damaging my hair against my coat collar.
Plus side is my hair feels so soft and full.
Can't wait to DC overnight tonight and put it away again!
