So I have been MIA since the forum update. I have been busy with school and preparing for my birthday. I still have finals this week, but my birthday is now gone so I have time to breathe.
I almost made my goal for my birthday. I hit 146 lbs instead of 145. That wasn't too bad since I fit into my birthday dress ok. Unfortunately I probably gained 2 lbs from all the dinners, drinks, and cakes. And I went the whole of last week without working out. Today I went back to the gym and started back eating light. I am still eastingy birthday cake though, lollll.
I did a flexi rod set on blown out hair for my birthday, but the curls did not hold. So it looked like a light flat iron bob.
Happy to see everyon holding it on. I am excited to be back

I think the pics have to be under 5mb. It took a few tries, but I was able to upload a pic without using a photo editor or photo site (Ex fotki).

I'm going to borrow that one! i may not post it lol but i'll take one for myself.. .maybe i will post them idk. i should. its a great idea. AND i think you should totally throw a party at 150 lbs. I can't wait to be 150 anything. I don't care if its 159.99 lol. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIPS, PHOTOS, AND ENCOURAGEMENT

Thanks @apple_natural!
You guys are lucky to be kid free. I'm up right now getting the boys ready for school. Immediately after that I'm going to the gym.

One day I weighed in at 143 but it must've been a fluke because...no. :-( lol anyhow! Don't get discouraged @faithVA motivation is the key to everything. I post sticky notes everywhere to keep me motivated and my wedding dress shopping date is nearing too. Think of small goals don't try to tackle anything big. For me I just want to lose roughly 1lb-2lbs per week. I know how much intake and how much to burn needed to obtain that. And my hair too seems to be growing slowly... Well not fast enough for me.

I did this workout this morning
and now I'm eating breakfast.
3 egg beaters, 2 serrano peppers, mandarin orange slices, half cup vanilla greek yogurt and 2 slices Sara Lee delightful toast. 295 calories!

If you want an easy way to track your food and exercise try fatsecret. I stumbled upon the site when I was googling something last week. Since I started counting calories I have lost 3lbs. I joined on Thursday so that's less than a week. It's free. All u need is an email or facebook log in to join.
And I hope yall enjoy the interval bike workout as much as I do.
Today was my 4th day doing it. 6 more and then I will start his treadmill running intervals.

I've been pretending this thread didn't exist and have been drowning in the deep end in terms of my eating. Summer's coming and I won't be able to hide under layers so I've decided to fake motivation until it hopefully becomes a habit. Joined the gym the other day and I'm supposed to go for the first time later today for my fitness orientation. I'm already thinking about rescheduling... . Also having mini hair crisis because I've been hiding under wigs for months but I don't think I'll be able to wear them as it gets warmer because I sweat profusely in my head, even without the wig.

I went for a 15 min run then did a HIIT work out that I cobbled together from moves i found on interest and put into a HIIT app. I feel great now. I don't know how I'll feel tomorrow 
. I also gave away a chocolate bar that I bought when I knew I shouldn't have even bought it in the first place. I feel like this is my greatest accomplishment of the day. I've not weighed myself but my work pants feel reassuringly baggy. There's a girl at work that I work out with in the park. We must look like fools but i just feels good to work out outside in the open air near on grass and we motivate eachother
Hair wise. still doing the same old twists in a high bun. I spray with curl activator and water and grapeseed oil, and then seal that with some oil sheen (yes girl, I said oil sheen), once every three days. I also co-wash on the weekends. or even just do a water rinse to get rid of the excess product and moisturise and seal again.
ETA. and I bought some Joico products to deep condition with. I think since i'm taking working out seriously I'm going to have to swap some water rinses for shampoo washes. Meaning i'm going to have to deep condition more.

I'm trying not to give in to my old pj ways, but I want to try a new shampoo. I am almost out of Con Argan oil and I can't help but wonder if something better is out there...

At the end of the day I'm usually not hungry, but I have extra calories. Tonight I am having a glass of wine. And then it's lights out for me.

It's almost 10 and I still haven't washed my hair. The house is spotless though. Not bad for having a house full of kids (8).
My mil came to pick up my nephew around 730 and she was like "It's so quiet and clean in here".
Now I'm just waiting on my girl to come get her baddies. What a day!

I had my first cheat meal in 10 days. It was about 1300 calories. I have to eat light for the rest of the day. And hopefully I burn a ton of calories at work tonight.

We kind of did t25 today. The cardio video kept skipping around. That's what i get for buying from some random Chinese place. I will see if the other videos do that or of this one just needs to be cleaned. Other wise I will just do Insanity.
First, I did the new York City ballet workout to get me in the mood for cardio. Its a light workout kind of like pilates....
Happy I got moving today

Later in the evening. ...
We did t25 workout today... speed 2.0. This video works well. unlike our cardio one that was skipping yesterday.
I did the modifications when I got tired in order to keep moving. I may have had quick pauses, but I kept it going for the most part.
Tomorrow we're supposed to be hitting the gym after work... on schedule

Cleaning up and laying things out for in the morning. Then I'm doing 35 mins of cardio.
Hair update: got my hair trimmed so i'm slightly above APL but 100% even. Leaving my hair in braids underneath my wig and applying green magic (i'll do this for 2-3 weeks at a time).
