Last nyte I decided to co-wash, trim, dc, and then baggy. I have never done baggying before, so I hit YT and combed thru CN for the best baggy method. The funniest part was me trying to sleep with a towel wrapped around my head. Lolz I had the shower cap on, and then I tied my wrap around the edges of my shower cap, and then my crazy butt STILL wrapped a towel around that!! Hahahaha Antywhoo, after waking up this morning, hair feeling swagnificent, I washed it out, applied my leave in and sealed with EVOO. I then took the advice of an amazing curl friend and did bantu knots all over my head instead of my normal go to style (flat twist w/perm rods). Here's the pics of my bantu knots:

I almost forgot to post a pic of the finished style. The wind attacked my hair, however, I still love the curls and softness. It wasnt anything fancy; I kept the same shape and added a flower to match my top.

So ive been on a whole natural kick!! Now im back into losing weight. I only want to lose about 10-15 lbs and then tone my back stomach, arms, and thighs. I recently joined MyFitness Pal so it can help me keep track of my calorie intake. I dont believe in dieting, only changing wat I eat to provide the proper nutrients it needs to keep it running well. I cant say ive been conscious about wat goes in my belly. I just got done eating bacon n beef bacon cheeseburger with hashbrowns from iHop. o_O lol

Antywhoo, my choice of exercise is simple, but im scared its gonna kill me. Beach Body's Insanity Program. Im gonna start on Monday and low and behold, my man is going to do it with me. Like I said im excited and scared. Im gonna also update this blog about my ups and downs of becoming healthy again. Including me going back to my no pork eating habits. Stay tuned for more of my trials and tribulations!!

Hellurrrrr *n my Madea voice*

Time for an update!! Past few days Ive been wearing bantu knot outs. Im seriously trying to figure out why ive never done this style on my head before. Glad I found another style, because I really think my flat twist we're about to break up with me.

I recently purchased the AIA coconut cowash, and I used it tonyte. Made my scalp feel a little tingly. Not sure what that was about, but it left my hair feeling clean yet soft. It didnt help at all with detangling, so I threw on my KCKT, and began detangling. I had a little breakage, but I since I stopped using products with protein in em, im thinking that I need to apply a little protein treatment. Maybe next wash day.

Used my oyin shine and define, ors shea butter lotion, and burnt sugar pomade on my ends to style my bantu knots tonyte. Before styling I did moisturize and seal with evoo.

As always, I will be posting pics tomorrow of the final look. I think im gonna start adding hair growth pics as well. Maybe wen I get on a pc so I can properly label them. Ta-ta for now curlies!!

I feel like I have abandoned my home. The only place where I can really come and be myself and not get judged. These past few weeks have been something crazy on this end. I'll say the most messed up part was having my car vandalized.

Its all good though, my GOD is an on time GOD, and HE is AWESOME and HE never leads me wrong. (HE also is the reason I was able to use alcohol and get the writing off lol). Im so exhausted just even writing this and thinking about my issues. I CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST WHO STRENGTHENS ME!!!!!!!!!!!! I will make it past this hurdle. Sooooo....my hair....ummm yeah, she's kicking my butt today. I really need to wash my sugah, she's missed her weekly appt.

Thanks to Chicoro's email, I do not feel guilty about it.
