I have had it for awhile as well, but I've never completed it. Hopefully I do better this go round.
 
I hate how big I've gotten. Looking at this picture, at how big my back is? No bueno. So I'm going to make sure I check in 5 days a week with my exercise. I feel like my hair is coming along, but I need to focus on losing weight.

ajacks, Prettymetty, surecutie, I have 30 Day Shred as well. It was okay, but I love love FitnessBlender on youtube. They have different videos to choose from. I do low impact because I have a bad knee, with different times ranging from 15mins to an hour. No music, just the guy talking. Check them out.
 
Daily Check In for Yesterday....

I did pretty good yesterday. Until I went to sleep woke up and seen two granola bar wrappings on my dressor. I absolutely HATE being a sleep eater. I have got to get this under control.

Since I have reunions this summer and then plan on going on vacation in August and again in September, I have clear goals to work towards. This past year I was able to lose about 40 pounds and know I will be able to do the same in order to get close to my ultimate goal.

It’s consistency and knowing now that I am not one of those people who can not exercise for the rest of my life and be healthy. Now that I know I need to have a certain active lifestyle, there’s no more wiggle room for me to be lazy!

Re-doing my Start stats because my old scale was wrong:

Height: 5'4''
Start weight: 154.6 lb
Goal Weight: 125 lb

Meal Plan: 3 Idaho Plate Meals a day
Fitness: 5 days a week split between cardio and strength
 
I haven't really done anything for my weight goal yet but fortunately I've lost 5 lbs. I'm down to 153.6 from 158.6. But I will start my exercise starting today. I plan to walk at lunch time and do yoga tonight. I also need to get my eating back in order, so I will be stopping by the grocery store today to pick up some soups and some ingredients to make some soups.

As far as my hair, my goal is to figure out my moisturizing regimen because that is what will help my retention. Yesterday was wash day. The first thing I learned is that I need to prepoo when I shampoo to keep my strands from drying out and tangling. I'm wigging it right now so I can cowash more often to try to increase the moisture in my hair. And I have quite a few products to try so I will be experimenting with different combinations to see what works.
 
Yesterday was a bad eating day but I'm back on track today. I desperately need motivation/a spark to make me exercise. I can't figure out why this is so hard for me. My goal is to walk daily and supplement that with either weights or with using the fluidity bar.

Unfortunately, I'm with you. I have a Monday mentality, and my husband doesn't help. I'm good today though so I'll focus on that and keep it one day at a time. ..
 
Monday update: so my first week had its ups and downs. I worked out everyday and was able to hit my water goal once I found a fruit infused water bottle. My first 4 cups was regular water and the last 4 cups were infused. But. I. was. still. snacking. Not good so I read this article that said the more vegetables and the less sugar you eat your cravings go away quicker. This week week I'll focus on 5 servings of raw vegetables a day and let you guys know if it helped.
 
Eating soup for lunch. Picked up some Special K Multi Grain Crackers to go along with it. 24 crackers in 1 serving, 120 calories and 3 g of fiber. This will be a nice snack. I think I will pick up some almonds and grapes for some additional snacks.
 
I want to join! I need motivation.


Hair Goals

Current Length: BSL
2014 Goal Length: BSL with no bonelaxed ends (I need to trim 3-4 inches this year)
Relaxed, natural, texlaxed: transitioning to texlax
How you will achieve goal: Rollerset at least once a month. Braidout and bun the rest of the time


Weight/Fitness Goals

Current Weight: 148
Goal Weight: 138
Current Dress Size: 8
Goal Size: 6
Fitness Goal: thinner thighs (I'm not sure if my genetics will allow it though.)
How you will achieve goal: brisk walking 40 minutes a day, portion control, eat real food 90% of the time, do beachbody programs.
 
I finished T25 just after Xmas and today I started p90x3. I love beachbody programs and these 30 minute programs are perfect for doing before work.

I was good at lunch today and ate leftover chicken tagine from last night. It's full of veggies and is definitely real food.
 
Hey ladies! I finally worked out today. Did Superfast Body Blast on Demand, 30 min workout. Ordered a couple dvds from Amazon - Shaun T, not sure which one, and Jillian Michaels, again sorry can't remember the exact name, but I believe it's supposed to be an easier program.

I have 30 day shred, but I want to ease into it, since it kicks my butt! I just really have to push myself to stay consistent with working out.

Eating, not 100% but better. Being more conscience of what I am eating. I didn't eat any meals out today, that is huge for me!

I weighed myself this am. I was so dreading it, I kept putting it off. 181. NO GOOD!!! But I feel like this time I can do this, stick to it. I feel mentally ready now, whereas before I don't think I was.

I put my hair in mini-twists so I don't really have to think about it, moisturize, seal. That's it. Will try to leave in for 4 weeks. My hair does much better twisted/braided up and left alone!
 
Is it too late for me to join?

I took my hair vitamins today and completed a fitness blender workout (butt thighs and cardio). Great workout! I'm currently sipping on a green smoothie made with Romaine Lettuce, 1 apple and a kiwi. I think I need to stick with spinach as my base for my green smoothies.
 
Had an amazing lower body workout today (my trainer/friend was proud). Y'all, don't sleep on weighted glute and hip bridges: works the booty like whoa!

Checking in. Deep conditioned with Shea moisture anti breakage mask. Twisted yesterday with Shea moisture curl enhancing smoothie/As I Am smoothing gel for a twist out. Twisted tonight with Miss Jessie's curly pudding. Logged all of my meals in the just lose it app and played Just dance 2014 for an hour. Some serious fun cardio. :)
