Great Lengths 2009 6 Month Challenge

[MissMusic]

I refuse to let a great challenge die, so here it is, back again! This challenge is open to everyone and is much like bootcamp, I like to call it Bootcamp Platinum Level. I'm late starting this chllenge, sorry, but none the less, here are the rules:

Challenge Runs from January 5 2009-June 30, 2009

Rules:

1. ABSOLUTELY NO HEAT!!! (hood dryers OK)
2. ***Since some of us may not be able to pull our hair into a bun or pony just yet, baggying and co washing are optional.***
3. At least 9-12 week relaxer stretches (YOU CAN DO IT!)
4. Weekly pre-poos and shampoos (This can be done bi-weekly if you are doing the co-wash method.)
5. Weekly deep condition (moisture or protein depending on what your hair needs from week to week)
6. At least once a day moisture and oil treatments
7. At least two vitamin supplements per day
8. 8-10 glassses of water per day (it's good for more than just your hair)
9. Combing no more than twice per day (roller setting, wrapping, or flex rod setting will make this possible)erplexed
10. 30 minutes of exercise at least 3 times per week (yes, walking counts, but working up a good sweat is even better!)

Who's with me?

[Nightingale]

I'm in, even though I do most of these things already. But, I'm trying to start wearing my hair down more often (twice a year to once a week).

 

[ddean]

I'm in! This will be my first official challenge for '09

 

[smwrigh3]

I'm in!! Yall but Imma need motivation with the water and workouts! lol!

 

[ebzonix]

I want in, but maybe we can post results in this thread. I don't see any other results from the others to see if all this even works.

 

[Ivy_Butter]

Same here.

I'm already 11 weeks post. Want to make it to April 1... never gone longer than 12 weeks before.

 

[Luscious Locks]

i'm in Mcrzygr!!! I'm about too be looking too fine in 09. LHCF is beauty crack. I really do believe that how I look is directly linked to how I feel and pretty much everything I do. This challenge sounds great because it's really comprehensive. It's more of a total body challenge so I think this will be my main challenge this year. Committing 6 months to get a hotter me in the end?

I'm down. M boyfriend will be stoked too.

 

[Forever in Bloom]

I'm down with this challenge! Add me girl
I started weight lifting again (did it 2 times this week and will be doing it on Saturday morning) I've gotten back into drinking my required amount of water, and I hope to be somewhere near APL by the end of June.

Did an hour of aerobics to my favourite music: calypso. I mix that up with running or walking. Depends on my mood on the day in question.
