Yes inspiration indeed! It makes me feel bad b/c everyone's getting exercise and I'm slacking, thereby driving me to get up and do it! And it also makes me feel human because we all have slip-ups every once in a while.
Can't wait to wash this terribly thick henna mix out of my hair...

Hi all! I had a good day. Clean eating except for coffee, a kashi bar and a luna bar. 
But I did hit the gym for 20 minutes of cycling and then the pool for 25 minutes of free style swimming. So I feel pretty good about my day!

Ok, so my first update 
I was bad today as far as my eating, but I did make it to the gym and did 45mins of cardio, and did a couple reps on my upper body.
My hair is currently 2 weeks post relaxer and I'm rockin a sew-in....I need to remember to moisturize my scalp before the end of the week.

So, Day 1 of Jillian Michael's 30-day shred Complete. Mind you it was a real "challenge" keeping up with the vid, seeing as today was also day one of my "flow" (TMI I know but I'm just sayin! lol)
Today my eating wasn't too hot, all I had was fries, and some potato wedges. Smh, there are NO real groceries in this house, so I had to make due

OK, first update of the challenge. Didnt eat much, or very well today because I slept until about 11. Had a very late night at work last night, didnt get off till 2:00 am. Had about 5 cups of coffee, a bowl of cereal (dont ask...high sugar, low nutrition, one y kids picked out...lol) a baked chicken thigh that was left over from dinner last night, and spaghetti for dinner. And about 3/4 gallons of water. I use the impatient dieters method of water drinking for most of it.
Didnt get ANY workouts in, but starting on Jillian Michaels 30 day shred between shifts tomorrow. I know im gonna be sore...wish me luck

My first update!
WEIGHT:
I didn't mention this in my initial post, but before 3 weeks ago I had plateau'd for 8 months. You heard me- 8 WHOLE MONTHS. Nothing I was doing was working, and I was so frustrated. My doctor suggested that I keep a food diary, and at first I scoffed at the idea because: a)I'm a know-it-all
, and b) I was positive that I was already eating pretty healthy. But I took her advice anyway, and like magic- I lost 4 lbs that first week! I couldn't believe it! I've lost a total of 8 lbs. (6.5 of which was fat) in the last 3 weeks since I've started tracking everthing I eat. Don't knock it till you try it ladies! I'm soooo glad I did
HAIR:
Inspired by miss yaya24 's FABULOUS progress over the last year, I decided to order some MT & will start adding it to my sulfur mix. I'm a little worried about the dryness it may cause, but I'm gonna add another mini-DC to my reggie every week, and maybe another CW as well to counteract any drying effects. Any other advice from you veteran MT users is much appreciated
Keep the faith ladies!

I'm starting on Insanity and Chalean Extreme so wish me luck on that. I'm going to try walking once a day and work my way to be able to jog continuously. I've been eating too many breads this week which I know is bad, I just need to find time to make my way to the grocery store and I'll be good as that's basically all I have in my house.

I didn't get in a workout but I did get in a .7 mile brisk walk to the bus stop... Lol. Don't know how much that counts.
I followed the Special K Diet to a T today and feel pretty good about it. I usually don't tend to cheat until around the 3rd day though, but for now, it's going well.
I'm not going to be able to get my sew-in until Saturday morning now since my packages decided to get delayed... :/. Buuuuut, I was able to get in plenty of moisture, and I am going to DC again on Friday night. Tomorrow I think I'm going to wear either a twist-n-curl or braid-n-curl for tomorrow's Cinco de Mayo celebration! I know I am going to drink so I am going to eat really healthily during the day so I won't wreak too much havoc on my diet.
Congrats on everyone making progress towards their goals! We are strong, ladies!!!!

Chronically at BSL -_-
Mid-week check in...I've been doing d@mn good, if I say so myself. I have done all of my scheduled workouts for this week including my bootcamp (which was so-so, I had to sprint and jog in one day...buuuut, my bootcamp coach is fione...not fine, but FIONE and married whomp whomp) and tomorrow I am laying off my lower body because my legs are on fire!!! And dedicating it to a 30-minute arms and abs workout. I'm focusing on lower abs especially because I have that pooch, who am I kidding? That lower GUT that I want to start working on like NOW. Hope you guys are having a good week!

2 of 5 workouts done for this week...3rd happening today at 2pm (customized- 3 sets of heavy weights with 1 minute cardio blitz in between).
Stepped on the scale this morning- lost 2lbs!!! Didn't check fat percentage though; I'll do that at Monday's weigh-in.
Need to increase water intake...only had about 40oz yesterday...not good. Goal is around 80-90 oz daily.
KUTGW ladies!

Weighed in at 2.2 lbs lost (156.8), which is awesome, considering yesterday was the first day I followed the eating plan... Lol.
I'm not working out today (or maybe I'll do a light one) because my friends and I are going out to celebrate Cinco de Mayo and we're going out dancing. I LOOOOVE dancing. I am that girl that is on the dance floor nonstop and walks out looking like she just went swimming. Lol.
Anyway, I figure that will be a great enough workout. I'm always trying to find ways to make things I enjoy a way to workout since I hate traditional exercise. When I'm not working the late shift, I definitely walk to the farthest bus stop (.7 mi) and back to my apt if it's still light outside. And I'm usually rushing both ways... lol. So, it's not much, but almost an extra 1.5 miles I'm getting to walk that I wasn't before.
3 hours of nonstop shakin in a hot room with great music works for me!
Matter of fact, I think I'll go ahead and do this 20-minute salsa dance workout. Definitely not Mexican, but will get me in the mood.
Yay! I'm pumped up today.

Girl, you are doing the damn thing! Go head!
Your hard work will pay off!
I've always wanted to try boxing. I'm a naturally aggressive person (I have short people's complex... lol), so I thought that'd be a cool way to workout AND relieve stress. How long have you been boxing?
Congrats! You aren't playing around! Didn't you already lose 2 pounds this week? So now you're at 4? Go head!
