Next week I will have my cheat meal on Tuesday. I will head to Arby's on tuesdays and have the chicken platter. I will stick to the white meat platter for now.

Also looking for a new bike saddle. I think that will improve my riding.
 
I haven't been working out as I should, how about not at all, :ohwell:
I have cut down on my portions and am making healthier choices.
I am now in the 186 range
 
I don't think eating all these personal sized pizzas are helping me lose weight. it's too cold to be nibbling on carrots though! :lol: Still doing the 10 min minimum/day, but I've skipped a couple of days....but not in a row. Honestly, I don't think I have an athletic bone in my body.
 
Have a great vaca GettingKinky

I've been staying consistent with working out...eating is clean...save for some Atkins bars :look: Probably need to ditch those and stick with my stir fries, salads, etc.
 
The exercise dvds I ordered arrived today. Zumba, T25 and Rockin Body. I'm praying this will help motivate me to do something.
 
Rode my bike and now drinking my smoothie. I may have a sweet potato later. I don't feel like doing anything else.
 
Sorry if I've been MIA. I was out of town this weekend and now I've got a sinus infection. Hope to be back on track soon.
 
I don't feel like I've been as disciplined this week. I ate too much today and I'm only on my 3rd workout for the week! I have to get 2 more workouts in this week!

Hair: I'm currently doing GHE. I'm still wearing my wig as my style but, I'll probably do a bun next week to get my moisture game up for my monthly flat iron.
 
I just ate 2 cans of corn. I made it like elote (mexican) with lime, mayo, cayenne and black pepper. Its so good and I dont feel guilty at all
#cheatmeal
 
Finished my last workout for Hip hop abs! *happy dance* I gotta find level 2 before Monday; maybe it's in the closet. I'm glad to be moving my body and stretching... This is just the beginning for me!

Diet wise, my cravings have decreased but still there. I also try to not go in for seconds. It'll be there tomorrow lol. Meal planning definitely helps me. I actually look forward to water and I want to drink half my body weight so I have more work ahead.

Sectioned my hair and I'm going to do a corrective on my underprocessed areas that are mid-strand. Seems alot easier than a regular tu.
 
Hair Goals
Current Length: APL
2014 Goal Length: Full MBL

Hair type: ?
How you will achieve goal: Braids, Braid, Braids

Weight/Fitness Goals round 2

Goal Size: UK 12
Fitness Goal: lose excess fat + Toned body
How you will achieve goal: Clean eating, and using free means to exercise (walking), once a week swimming.

50 pounds over 52 weeks is roughly a pound a week, so should be more than manageable with the exercise/diet plan. In the past I would crash diet and spend crazy amounts of time in the gym, and I learned my lesson that slow is the best way.

I'll come back with pics

I've lost about 2-3 pounds since I started two weeks ago. Staying near my calorie goal of 1200, which is low for my height, has worked for me. Even if I go over by 200 cals, I'm still in the weight loss range. I did binge on pizza last night, but luckily I feel like crap this AM so I won't be doing that again. In the next seven days I have FIVE social gatherings (fatty foods and alcohol)!!! So I really need to step up my workout regimen.

I've been wearing my hair in thick braids about 4-5 days a week, and taking them down for the weekend. I'm getting mini-twists in about 2 weeks, and I hope to rock mini twists or braids regularly until May.
 
I'm 3 pounds down. So that makes 9 pounds this month. I am satisfied although my goal is 10 (or maybe a little more) per month. I do have a few days left hopefully I will burn another pound.

I haven't been to the gym. Dang polar vortex got me thrown all off and Ive been lazy. I will go soon because I don't like to waste money. February I will tighten up my diet more I know it can be better; 28 days of healthy eating except valentine's day. I'll have to see.

My corrective went well less tangles and breakage. My ends are still holding up. Trying to get another 8-9 weeks before I trim with the split ender.
 
Checking in:
-WEIGHTLOSS: I'm still working out nightly with Nike Kinect Fitness. I recently changed my goal from "get toned" to "get lean" in the game program settings. This will allow me to do more cardio and burn fat faster. I'm currently weighing I'm at 159.2, and I've been hovering over this number for the past week and a half....
I've also upped my water intake to 1gallon per day; where all before I only did 2.2 Liters/day.
I know my eating habits sucks, but I'm slowly working on getting that together as well. I should have it together by next month :).

-HAIR: I'm at 11 weeks post, which leaves only 5 weeks until my next touch-up date! My, how times does fly! Lol

Sent from Atop of my throne, in a kingdom where long-haired bad b**ches rule ;)

Worked out consistently this week, but didn't eat well on the weekend. I'm not even mad about it. I ditched the Atkins bars...too many sugar alcohols in them...they give me gas and bloating. Aint nobody got time for that. They were nice and convenient. I will just keep drinking my protein shakes in the morning and eating my veggies throughout the day. I've been doing well with cutting down the carby foods (except today) so hopefully that helps. I will be training hard this week again.

Worked out legs with squats and leg machines. I'm so freakin tired...don't even wanna make dinner. Luckily kids love peanut butter samiches. :look:
 
Its too cold to take my mid-day walk. Will need to find another way to get some walking in.

Yesterday was tough. I was craving cookies all day. Fortunately the vending machine was out of keebler cookies, so I had hot chocolate instead. I don't have any junk food at home which helps. So I had a healthy dinner; fish, edamae and a sweet potato. I had another hot chocolate for dessert.

I bought 2 Lean Cuisine panini lunches. I really like them but they have 8 points per weight watcher and I know I really shouldn't do more than 5 for lunch, so I will need to skip those and find something else quick for lunch.

My weight is slowly coming back down. Just need to up my exercise. Looking forward to warmer days when I can get more walking in.
