Updates

Weight loss and hair growth using the pills Fast Grow. Well, with weight loss I've lost another 2 inches and about 5 pounds. Discrepancy huh? Nope, I'm doing a lot of strength training and have incorporated running. I know me running right? Yes, my friend and I have a goal in mind by the end of this year and what better way to speed it up, by adding a different routine. People ask me how I lose weight and I say by moving this body of mine. I do zumba, toning and circuits for 1.5 hours almost everyday. I workout this long because I eat, I don't deprive myself. If I was trying to be all muscle and skin than I would rethink my routine, but I think being a size 10-12 is more tangible for me. Okay with my hair, I've been keeping it in braids and wearing lace wigs. Every other week I wash my hair, hot comb and flat iron and put it back into braids. I've been using fast grow and my hair has grown 3.5 inches since my last post. I think the average for hair growth is 1/2 inch per month. My post was 6/11/11 and its almost 9/11/11 so according to math my hair is growing a 2 inches faster than normal. Ill update in 3 months and we'll see if this hair growth continues to happen. Ge

Weight Loss

I have been on my weight loss journey for about 8 months or so. I've realized things about my body that has helped me loose 1-2 pounds per week. First of all, I love to exercise, working out at the YMCA doing zumba, strength training, cardio, yoga, whatever-a-thons helped me loose over 30 pounds now. I haven't really changed my eating habits, but have been conscious of my foods. I work out 2 hours Monday - Thursday and try to eat before I head off to the gym. I started working out because I saw that my weight slowly went up every year. Mind you I was never a small woman, I was always a size 12 or above and was comfortable until I saw my body change over 15 years, gaining 1-2 pounds per year. My weight really shot up after my freshman year and didn't stop till November of 2010. I decided to make a change. OK, cons: remember when I told you I haven't changed my eating habits? Well, I tend to eat out instead of cook, so that's food I don't know the salt content, fat or sugars, which isn't good. I've noticed from cooking at home with olive oil and less salt, my weight came off easier. Also, I don't like to workout at home, so if I'm tired from work, I will rest and go to sleep and become complacent. These have been my battles. I also notice when I feel like the weight isn't coming off, I step on the scale and I see 2-4 pounds lost. Weird huh? My goal is 20-25 more.... stay tuned...

Shopping Online

The whoas of shopping online.... I really am loving this online shopping, but the whole research of finding out where to go and what is the best buy is the hardest to do. I started looking online to youtube gurus and have found some amazing ideas and honest reviews.

Since I am a student I've bought of course my school books on amazon as well as some organic hair care products. You know I'm all about the dollar deal so I looked on youtube, did some googling, emailed my instructors back and forth and was able to find my book that cost $175+ for under $40.00. What a deal...
Then I needed some hair care products like castor oil, argon oil and such and found products by Moroccan Oil and found some cheaper products by One n' Only (have you heard of it??) Here's the link: Argan Oil

Anyways I will try it, but I have been doing the castor oil massage treatment for a couple months now and my hair is growing constantly. My hair is chemically treated, so the new growth is shining through. I am transitioning to being completely natural. Woohoo


I am also going to The Hair pills, yeah I know, for what? Right? Well, I wanted to see what all the rave was about plus I workout 2 hours a day so I will need the extra vitamins. Stay tuned...
