Hair update

Nothing new has really been going on with my hair. It is growing and I haven't tried any new styles lately. I am still rocking the twist and curl and I getting quite bored with it. I flat ironed it last week to get a trim. I enjoyed having it straight because there wasn't much to do with it. I am thinking about getting some cornrows for a while. I am not sure what I want to do, I just know I am getting really bored with my hair. I think about BCing because I know this will be easier but I don't want short hair. I will continue to try to grow it out and focus on it less. I am still taking my vitamins and using the coconut oil daily to moisturize. I am not having much breakage but my relaxed hair is so fine that the twist out is starting to look a little rough to me. I guess the only thing to do is be patient and continue to grow my hair the best way I can. Here is a pic that prevents me from doing the BC. Even though I love my hair texture, I can't deal with the short hair.

Weigh in Wednesday!!!

Today I weighed myself and I am 159.2, I did eat some things last week that I shouldn't have eaten. I was stressed and had a lot going on. I will try to do better and since it is warming up, I plan to go walking and running. I need to do better....I have to lose at least 15 pounds by June 1, I hope I reach my goal so stay tuned!!!!

This Weeks Hair!

This week I didn't post pics of my hair because it was the exact same way as last week. I wore the twist and curl and on the 6th and 7th day I wore a pony tail with the twist and curl out in the back. I plan on flat ironing this week and getting a trim. I am eight months into my transition and I can only wish it would grow faster. I am still taking my hairfinity vitamins and will not post an update on that until I have taken them an entire month. I think I am making good progress and I am not experiencing any breakage. My only challenge is styling at this point, It gets really hard to think of styles. If anyone has any ideas on styles, please let me know!

Weigh in Wednesday!!!!!!!!!!

I am a little disappointed this week because I gained two pounds. I think I did really well this week. I ate right and I stuck to my points. I am sure the wings I had over the weekend didn't add two pounds on but maybe it did. I will do much better this week. My weight this week was back to 163.4.....I must do better. I need to lose 20 pounds by June!!!! I think I might need to break out some tough enforcement:)

Style Update





I really enjoyed my twist and curl this week but sadly it rained Tuesday and that was the end of my curls. So.....instead of trying to roll the ends again I decided to try and bun. I enjoyed wearing the bun and I got a few compliments on it. Here a few pics of the style. I wore the style for two days and I would spritz it daily to add moisture. I slicked the edges back with fantasia Ic sparkling gel and Hicks edges. I will revisit this style as well. I consider this a great in between style. I re twisted to today and rolled the ends. I will post pics soon.

Weigh in Wednesday!

This week I have been doing great with my diet. I have been cooking and eating the right foods as well as staying within my points on WeightWatchers. I joined WW again because it helps me track the things I eat. I could do it on my own but let's face it.....I NEED discipline with this weight thing and eating! I lost a couple pounds and I happy with that. I hope it continues to decrease each week. This week my weight is 161.1, that's a start. I can't complain...headed in the right direction! Yay me!!!!
