Hairspray WoW!

Ok so this has nothing to do with hairspray, but yes, it does have to do with hair. I haven't talked very much about my hair. So here ensues the hair diaries of Miss Traci Lynn!

So last time we discussed my hair, I had a big chop done. Eventually it got a little out of control so I was trying stuff and trying stuff.Twist outs, braid outs, fluffy puff, bobby pins, head bands....I was getting done with my hair and playing it up.

This is my twist out with head band on left. My braid out with hair pins on right.

 So these are both put together using twist-outs. The green shirt hair style is just my hair pinned to one side. My hair sculpture so lovely named but a fellow teacher. The burgundy sweater hair style is all of it pulled together with a ribbon (not ready for a pony tail holder since I wanted the fullness) and a simple headband.

 I did end up cutting my hair some more! But here are some hair styles on dry hair. Just pulled together because I was tired of it. The afro is "inside the house" hair and nothing more.

 And lastly I now have havana twists! This has all occurred since March. It's only been a little over a month.

Out of the twist/braid outs, my fave would have to be the twist out. It looks better to me. Also my fluff puff in curls is a def fave along with the hair sculpture. I can work this out after all! :)

One thing I really need to work on it doing hair styles with the havana twist. That will def have to be documented. My typical is down or a few in the front pinned back to keep it out my face. I really need to do some hair sculptures with this hair!

BTWwwwwwssssssssssssss
I quit my challenge and diet (ish). I got too busy and Spring Break was on. I suck :P

Fed Up!

I'm so tired of these stanking 30-day challenges!!! After a long day at work, I just don't have too much energy to do the challenges and take care of my babes. I don't even grade papers at home anymore. I just completely check out of school work when I'm home.

I am starting the habit of doing some of my squats at school so that when I come home, it's a smaller amount to do. But everything else needs to be done at home. It is currently 7:08pm and I gave myself until 8pm to do my challenge. I also wanted to get some cardio in! So at 8pm I will be hitting that Zumba and prepping for the scandal that is Scandal!\

Btw, I currently weigh 113.2 lbs. and I think I may even see a difference in my belly! My goal is to get to 108 lbs. I didn't really pick a date, so i'm going to go with May 2nd. That's the Friday before I head to Jamaica. 5 lbs to go people
5!

3 30-day Challenges??? Really!?!

Why yes. I am crazy enough to do 3 challenges at once and they all overlap. They have the same exercises so I am really going above the 30-day challenge criteria.

I am currently in the middle of completing the last exercises of my combined 3 challenges.
I am dead.
I hate squats!!! They just suck. They're hard. They're difficult.
I hate them!!

I still have 10 lunges and 35 more squats to do.

No big deal, right? Ummm yes it is!

I already did 90 squats, 10 lunges, 60 sit-ups, 102 crunches, 12 leg raises, 15 bridges and a 20 sec plank!

I am spent! Which is why I am currently on the floor taking a break. And it doesn't help that I have been out the house since 11:30am and it is currently 11pm. I probably got home around 9:35pm. I don't have the energy but I will NOT give up on this challenge. 

I recently began Day 1 of my 5k training. I ran outside and it was wonderful. I will continue to do this as the weather permits.

Although I did not get the results I wanted (or really see any results period!) from my first challenge I will keep going.

My goal is to not give up and keep up with exercising daily and eating healthy. 

Afterall I have lost about 4lbs. so I am clearly doing something.

I can even button my pants now! This above all is some serious progress.

 ;)

And btw, Kelly Rowland is in my ears and her album bangs! Looovesss it!
