What's The Fuss With Natural Hair

I came upon the article below about people getting on Solange Knowles about her natural hair (the link to the article is below). Some say that her natural hair is always looks unkept. I have natural hair and I do not carry a pic or any type of comb in my hair. I can't speak for Solange, but I prefer a more wild unkept look to my hair. Honestly, that is the more natural state of my hair. It is not in a perfect afro and if I even think of trying to force it to do so, my hair is just like "whatever".

Someone said that Ms. Knowles rocks a natural wig or weave more than she rocks her own natural hair. NEWS FLASH: THERE ARE A LOT OF WOMEN THAT WEAR A WIG OR WEAVE INSTEAD OF THEIR OWN HAIR, REGARDLESS OF RACE OR HAIR TYPE!!!! If they didn't, then the business of hair weaves, extensions, or whatever else it may be called would not my a multi-billion dollar business industry!!!! Does it really matter that her hair is natural??? Is there some unwritten rule with those (more so Black women) that do not wear natural hair that those who are natural are not supposed to wear weaves ever??? I really do not understand.

People are so quick to criticize what they either don't understand or know nothing about. I really do wish that they would shut up.

I am done ranting about that now.

Weight Loss Summary: Week 6

So I lost the 1 pound that I gained last week. Which puts me back at 254 lbs. This is the closest that  I have been to 250 lbs in a very long time and I am thinking about kicking it into overdrive the next couple of weeks in hopes of getting under to 250 lbs.

So as I mentioned last week, I made a YouTube playlist of different workout videos. There is Zumba, Salsa, strength training, in-home walking, some Jillian Micheal,  Bob Harper, and more. Each video is anywhere from 10 minutes to 50 minutes. There is a good variety here. As time goes on I will add more videos to the playlist. I will share the link below. If you see ore know of some videos that you would like to see added (this workout playlist is for any and everyone), just let me know.

If you or someone you know has a weight loss success story that you/they want to share, please contact me. I would love to do feature stories about that.

Here is the link to the playlist. Tell me what you think! I subscribed to a couple of the trainers channels. If you like them then do the same.

Weight Loss News and Motivation

So at the start of this summer I weighed 264 lbs. I am now 254 lbs. So I have lost 10 lbs so far, some of which was lost prior to me blogging about my weight loss journey. At the start of the summer there were a pair of denim capris in my closet that I have not been able to get up past my butt and hips in the last two years. With a tiny bit of wiggling, not only did I get them up to my waist, I was able to fasten them up pretty comfortably!!!!!!

I am so excited!!!! I was determined to be able to wear these by the end of the summer and I accomplished that goal!!!!

Now I have to go through my closet and find another item to be my goal by Thanksgiving.

I am looking forward to being under 250 for the first time in years!!!! That is my short term goal to reach by the end of October.

What are your goals???

Until next time loves!!

Weight Loss Summary: Week 5

So I gained 1 pound over the last week. All I can say about that is that it was "that time".

I am not fretting about it. I just know that I have more work to do. As the temp starts to cool, I realize that I need to sit down and come up with ways to still get in a decent calorie burn without doing all of the walk to and from work, plus to run small errands.

I have workout DVDs but I get bored easily. So I had a thought, why not create a list of workout videos on Youtube? You can put up to 200 videos in a single playlist. Put it on shuffle everyday and it is like a different workout, every day. So I am going to give that a try and once I am done making the playlist, I will share it with you all.

Looking for weight loss inspiration???? Check out the article below. I can't wait until I can get into a bikini and Michelle did it with hard work and determination. If you are tired of being overweight, no one has the power to change that but you!!! I am doing it week by week. Impossible, no. Hard, yes. But WE can get through this together.
