Remember the date...

...it's the official start of my natural hair journey.  I've had the individual braids in my hair for 1 month exactly.  It was a fun ride...but they had to go.  So the braids our out.  I have exactly 2 weeks until I get the kinky twists hairstyle.  So that is 2 weeks for me to get reacquainted with my hair.  I have purchases some products that will help me over the next 2 weeks.  I'm also watching tons of videos and reading great inspirational stories.  So if anyone has some suggestions or know of some information sites and videos...please let me know.

My weight loss journey.  I'm starting carb and sugar detox AGAIN!!!  Yup...because of the issues I'm having with my band (that I have not discussed...so you didn't miss anything).  I used certain foods (bread and ice cream) to help me cope.  Well that ends now.  I have goals to meet. I can't meet them feeling sorry for myself.  I'm a fighter if ever there was one.  I will make it to my birthday goal...and my Vegas vacation (October) goal. 

I hope everyone has a wonderful Memorial day weekend.  Remember the men and women who have given their lives so that we can live in the land of the free and the home of the brave!!!

You're gonna look hot in your hair. Like I said - you'd look hot bald....simply because of your spirit.
