Well I went to the gym yesterday. I spent 25 minutes on the stair climber to warm up.
I did some light weight squats (increased reps), leg curl/ext., hip abb.,add.

This morning I went to the track and did eight sprints after my mile warm up. I wanted to do ten but I just couldnt handle it today, so I went on my neighborhood walk when I finished.

I am drinking my protein shake right now. I am not sure what I am going to eat though.
 
today i just walked for 30
i made chicken breasts, rice, onions...
i am planning on having veggies when I get home...
SO is such a baby LOL

I have been so tempted to press after seeing what curlz can do to my hair, and the length I've gotten...
i might reach my hair goal! we'll see

just got my qhemet stuff in the mail too, i will probably wng on sunday? we'll see how this twistout looks 2morrow night
 
I just came home from the track. Apparently I havent been drinking enough water because my stomach and side began to cramp. I did my mile run and cut my sprints down to 8 again, then I did just half of my neighborhood walk. I was completely drained and out of it.

I going to walk for the next two days and take Sunday off. I will go to the gym tomorrow to do my squats, but thats about all I am going to do. I want to be fully recovered to step up my sprint routine for Monday.

My healthy eating is going great. I have decided to take in smaller portion sizes and stop eating when I know good and well I am satisfied. ( I have a tendency to overeat...lol. I love food).

My hair is doing well. I took it down to wash and do my Aphogee 2 Min. treatment. It looks great. My mama is going to braid it back up for me tomorrow.

We are doing great, ladies. Lets stay focused and meet our goals!!!!
 
  1. Pick a protective style - mine will probably be buns and wigs, but I want to experiment with other styles. I'm transitioning so we'll see how it goes
  2. Pick an amount of days you will workout before you heat style/relax your hair again. I will be doing 30 days (not consecutive). - 30 days works for me, but I dont think I'll do heat/relax (I need something a little more motivating), I think I'll pick 30 days before I can buy something hair related like a wi or try a new product
  3. Identify your hair growth goal and your health goal - my goals are to 1) complete the couch to 5k program and 2) complete STS. I find I do better with performance based goals
I look forward to checking in weekly, I need the motivation!

Hi friend :grin:
 
Yesterday, I went on my neighborhood walk. I realized that I need to step up my water intake. I started slacking again.

Today I did my "10 Sprint" routine after my mile warm up. I didnt lose five pounds this week but I did lose three, so I am very happy. I have been watching what I eat and my portion intake. I am doing well. Tomorrow I will walk and go back to the track on Monday. I will check in after my Monday sprint routine.

My mother did my cornrows so, my protective style is set for the next two weeks.

WELCOME!!! (to the new comers).

I am also contemplating including parts of the P90X workout routine into my regimen. I may do their leg workout on my walking days. Still a little scared of the intensity though so we'll see.
 
I joined the 30 day shred challenge too...so between that and BFC i will have no problem getting in shape by mid-September...i am already down 2 or 3 lbs. i'm feeling good about this.
 
LADIES!
i went on the tower... here...
terrapinadventures.com
I'M SO SORE!!!!!
omg...
we climbed for 90 mins...
great 12th day for me (i think, i have to check my log lol)
i loved it... expensive, but I was breathing sooooo hard, heart rate was like 190, sweating... it was intense...
(ok not 190, but it was high lol)
 
^^^ That climb sounds awesome. You make working out so versatile. I have never heard of that place. Sounds like you got a great workout in!


I went on my neighborhood walk today, except I went further than ever. I walked for about an hour and 15 minutes. I decided to do this because I ran sprints on Saturday, which I normally dont do on the weekends. I also didnt workout at all on Sunday. I feel great, so I look forward to my sprint routine tomorrow.
 
So today was my workout number 1!!! I went for a job as I am getting back into my Couch to 5k program. It was a good run, but I've been lax about my stretching b/c my low back was tight. That'll get better soon
 
Sorry its been awhile but I have been kicking butt at the gym. I joined a little mom and pop gym about a mile from my house. Its LOVE for when I get off work in the morning I go straight there to do cardio and weights then when I wake up in the afternoon I do my run. I have been a lot of reps with light wts and kicking butt on the stair stepper and eliptical. I havent been doing good on my long runs the longest I have gone is 5miles...I need some motivation. Eating has been great. A lot of juicing and veggies, fruits, and smooties. Eating a ton of salads with tuna. My no chips for the month of Aug is going smmothly and my coworkers have been great about not having them around me.
Hair has been twisted I think the longest I have worn it out is maybe 3 days. I luv my twist and cant wait till they get longer so I can wear them up in a pony.
Tomorrow is weights, cardio and yoga...Im so excited for my new yoga studio!!!
 
Guys, I'm in a boot part time :evil:, I just re-upped today on the working out...

1/2 hr of belly dancing!
I took the boot off (grrr) but that was absolutely no pressure on my stress fracture and my core is KILLING ME!!!
 
iight, my weekly update:
im up to day 3 on exercise (just work with me now ;)
and i bought 2 more products :( i felt compelled since i ran upon them randomly in a place thats faaaaarrrrr from my house (i knew i wasnt coming back lol)

im looking forward to day 4....
 
Yesterday was my birthday so I went to the track and jogged three miles instead of my sprints. I cut loose for my birthday dinner and had a brownie fudge sundae for dessert.

I went to the gym today and did my uphill walk for 50 min. I also did heavy squats.
I plan to do a 2 mile warm up and 10 sprints tomorrow.

I cowashed with Aphogee 2 min today. My protective style is holding well.

Your workout regimen sounds great!!!!!!
 
^^^ Thanks

I definitely need to step up the running if I plan on doing this mini in Oct...really its the only thing that gets me in tip top shape but I just cant find the motivation to run 7miles+ a day like I used to...life factors in. Oh well I like my little schedule now. As long as I dont bulk up like my girl Serena which Im known to do it will be all good. Heres more of a break down of what Ive been doing

MWF: hour cardio 30mins on a diff machine then afternoon run
TTHS: Wts with 30min cardio + yoga
Sunday: Light day or rest if needed

Hopefully I can stick to this for awhile it seems to give me more energy and keep me asleep longer since I work nights. Havent seeen any change in the scale and Ive been in scrubs for 2wks so I dont know how my reg. clothes. We'll see this wknd when I go out...lol!!!
 
Today I ran my neighborhood. I have yet to figure out how far I am running, but I went pretty far today. It was a sprint day but I didnt get to use the track because school has started, so the football team was out there. This means I am going to have to start going to the track earlier.

I planning to go to the gym tomorrow.

I think I am going to have to get my mom to cornrow my hair once a week except every two. It is looking raggedy right now. I know I am not going to make it through another week like this.

My eating is going great. I have been off my supplements for a few weeks so I started taking my iron again and I am going to ease back into the rest.

Still going strong with this. This is week three for me. If I can get a month in I will know that I have what it takes to meet the rest of my goals.

Sometimes your body just has to get used to what you are doing before you notice a difference on the scale. Just stick with it. You are doing great. I bulk up fast two, but weight loss really helps with that.
 
I feel like crap right now. Cramps.

Before I started feeling like this, I did my mile warm up and 10 sprints today. Later, I used my weight bar to do squats, dead lifts, and uphill walking lunges in my back yard. I was just beat!!!

Anyway, I hope to feel good enough to walk this weekend.

My cornrows need to be redone already. I decided I am going to ask my mama to do them once a week, but I am going to shampoo every two weeks and do my cowashes on Wednesday. Have a great weekend, I will check in with you ladies after my workout on Monday.

I'm in!

1. Pick a protective style - I don't have much, so it will be some kind of slickback/silk scarf situation

2. Pick an amount of days you will workout - 4 days a week/1hour total

3. Identify your hair growth goal and your health goal - I just want it longer, since it is a pixie right now; it could take a minute to grow.

4. You may co-wash, DC, or whatever it is that you regularly do with your hair, but NO HEAT!!!! - no worries, no plan to use heat,but what about deep conditioning with heat (or is that redundant?)

5. Your ends must be protected for most of the day - they are usually covered. Each work out must be at least 30 mins. long to count-no problem!

6. Try to eat healthier! More water/fresh fruits/veggies - less cream soda

You must still find a way to be your beautiful self! No problem, school's starting, cant be looking crazy!
