OPERATION GET FINE

So, I was on Mediatakeout and I saw a picture of Toccara Jones and thought, "Damn that Bish has a nice body". I think (or I am hoping rather) that if I got into shape my body would look similar to hers. So I have put OPERATION: GET FINE in effect immediately. I would like for you all to join me with this as well. I am working on meal plans, work out regimens, and all the stuff with losing weight and getting in shape. Don't get me wrong I am happy with myself as I am but I know I could be happier and healthier if I slimmed down a bit. That's not just me though, I think everyone would be happier if they were healthier, right? Anyway I will post my stories and progress on this blog and I would love to hear everyone's ideas and stuff. You know, send me recipes and exercise techniques...stuff like that. Oh and most definitely exercises that will give me a nice ass, I think I have a little something to work with..lol

Bantu knots

These are pics of me and my bantu knots....the curls with the flexi-rods are a lot looser and I like them better.

Twist and flexi rod style

This is my hair after I two-strand twist it and roll it with flexi rods. I use the red 7/16" diameter rods. I love the curl it gives and this stlye can last up to a week. The products I use are pure coconut oil (I bought from the Wal-mart vitamin aisle), Cantu's Shea Butter Moisturizing Cream Shampoo, Palmer's Olive Oil conditioner, and Pantene Pro-V relaxed and natural setting lotion. After my hair is all rolled up, I sit under the dryer for about 30 minutes then I let the rest air dry in my sleep. In the morning I take the rollers out and undo each twist, then I run my fingers through it to loosen the curl a bit and go.

FED UP

Okay, seriously I am getting fed up with this hair of mine. What am I suppose to do with it? I know I said I didn't want micros or twist but right now I feel like chopping my hair down to the NG and just wearing braids for the next 1.5 years. I don't know what products to use, I don't know what styles are safe, I really need help on this journey. I can't go the summer with my hair looking crazy like this. OMG whats a girl to do?
