Hair Growth and Weight Loss Challenge 2014

Did an hour of zumba twice today, hour of full body weights, and bike for 15 mins. Burned 1550 cals which is more than what I ate today so i'm in the negative. Hair- I cowashed last night and applied njoy growth oil. Will be applying it later tonight as well with whole head baggy.
 
I just want to say how great meal planning is you guys. I eat the same breakfast, lunch, and dinner during the work week. I love food and I'm a big eater. But dulling down my food choices has decreased my appetite. I just switch up the menu once a week.
 
Im looking forward to my mall date with the kids. They get to play in the kids area and mommy gets to walk and possibly shop :yep:
 
I scratched my eye last night. I didn't think much of it since it didn't hurt or burn but it sure as hell hurt today. And it's red! At the er now since it's Saturday ughh.

I hope I will be able to keep my exercise routine otherwise I'll have to be extra strict on my diet. Maybe I can get my sister to wash my hair today.
 
I still haven't got my DVD player situation figured out. I can't let this get me off my exercise routine. I'm slowly recovering from my NOLA binge and I have to continue.

My DVD player magically started working again and I did my workout. I've got chicken tagine cooking in my crockpot and I'm trying out a wet set braid out. And I'm getting ready to take a nap. Today is a good day. :-)

Where is everyone?
 
I'm here! Worked out for the past three days so I'm happy. Just set my hair and now it's study time before bed.
 
I had a pretty good week. I went for 13 walks, average 1.3 miles each. I did all 6 of my p90x3 workouts, and I lost 4.4 of the 5.4 pounds I gained in NOLA.

I wasn't hair lazy and wore a braidout 4 days this week and I set my hair in a wet braidout yesterday. I'm crossing my fingers that it turns out well.
 
I think I need to switch to all cardio workouts for the next month. I love lifting but it's not doing anything to my scale or thighs but making them bigger. :sad:

i think I'm gonna chop and dye my hair for my birthday this summer. Something like this and dye it red.

BGT I'm just the opposite of you. I lose more when I'm doing weights vs cardio. I'm not a big fan of cardio I hate feeling out of breath, but watching Shaun T makes it bearable for me. ;-)
 
My weight has been up and down like an elevator, but my hair is doing great. I got a blowout today so im gonna post my update early

35 mins dance jam, 1 hour zumba,35 mins bike and fit bit adjustment has me at 1300 cal burned today.macros (fat 52g, carbs 154, protein 177 g) good day! tomm is weigh in for my 90 day challenge at my gym. hopefully there is some progress.
Hair same ole- njoy oil and overnight full head baggy.
 
Twice now in the past week I've had coworkers ask me if I'm going to buy all new clothes. I've only lost 13 pounds from my peak, but I guess they're starting to look baggy. I hate shopping. Maybe after I get down to 130.
 
Today I wore my heart rate monitor as I walked around outside, stopping into shops along the way. Burned 200 calories shopping! Will do a "real" workout tonight.
 
Messed up today y'all. I can't even be mad since I've been doing so great this month. I'll just look at this as a cheat day/last meal. I'm starting over tomorrow with a goal to hit my next goal weight by May 1st! Y'all pray for me. I'm excited to be improving myself. I feel like I'm improving my life as well.
 
It took 10 days, but I'm back on track. I'm going to see if I can stay below 140 for a few weeks before I try to get to 130.

I'm still doing braidouts. I just need to find a product that will keep it from getting poufy as the day wears on.

Went to zumba this morning and rode the recumbent bike. Burned 630 cals. Was feeling dizzy so I cut my workout short. Going back to tonight to lift and do a little more cardio. I'm tired! Haven't been to the gym since tues before today so i'm going. I have to lose at least 30 more pounds by june 1st to meet my goal.

Hair- tonight i'm going to wash with shea moisture moisture retention and dc with an ors pack.
 
I've been slacking and only working out about 4 days a week. I also haven't been to a class in a while. Tomorrow I'm headed to the gym to get a quick run in, and on Tuesday night I'll go to Zumba.
 
Last week was recovery week in P90x3, the workouts are still hard but you don't use weights. I did all 6 of my workouts and went on 14 walks even when I was dead tired and didn't want to.

I lost 1.4 pounds and according to my scale it was all fat. :-) My NOLA indiscretion is now a thing of the past. I think my stomach is being retrained. Whenever I eat too much, it lets me know and it doesn't feel good.

On the hair side I wore a braidout everyday last week. Once I find a good anti-frizz product I will be unstoppable :-) I did an overnight DC last night so I'll be wet bunning today.

How is everyone doing? It's been quiet in here lately.
 
Dh and I joined the gym today. Our goal is to go Mon-Fri. Today I did 35 mins on the bike and burned 262 calories. Then I did my "hourglass" weight workout and 15 mins of water aerobicsn I feel so good. I cant wait to see some progress!!!
