On Thursday, I got my hair did. I cut my hair almost to the scalp January 2014 and started my natural transition. That should've been my first indication that I am strong enough to lose this weight. Do you know how hard it is to put scissors to your own head and cut?
I remember looking in the mirror, I pulled a very small section of hair from the middle of my head straight up in the air, closed my eyes and cut it. Once I did that, there was no turning back. I had a huge chunk of hair missing that could not be masked unless I rocked a wig.
Deciding to change to a natural look was a lifestyle change just the same as deciding to develop an exercise routine and change my eating habits. Both take commitment and dedication. My hair is proof of that. It's much longer now. It's healthy. I know that my eating habits and exercising right will make it healthier.

My hair is fuller, thicker and healthier than its ever been. It's also a lot of maintenance that I'm willing to do to keep it that way...just as I'm going to have to do to reach my goal weight and keep it that way. However, my beautiful hairstyle pictured above only lasted that day because of my workout. The humidity did a number on it, but nothing like that constant sweating. My bangs looked like Peppermint Patty after I was done lol.
I will figure out something about my hair later. My main focus is getting this weight off of me. I made it to the gym at 9:15 am for Mandy's cycling class. It was just as intense as always, but I feel better making it to the class than hitting the treadmill where I rarely push myself as hard. I also did weights today abs and arms.
