Move your BODY why don't cha?

Hi ALL! The hair challenge that I mentioned in my previous post is off to a great start! I am so thankful to the participants because this is truly a CHALLENGE for me as well! One of the requirements of this challenge is that each participant drink plenty of water & EXERCISE! Oh goodness...I can drink all of the water I need...but exercise??? Lol! I am SOOOO not a very "physically active" person. Even in high school, besides being a member of the SOLID GOLD MARCHING BAND & one of the Clarinet (wooot! wooot!) section leaders, I didn't do any physical activity at all. I was always a "Student Council- Future Educators of America- Homecoming Court" type girl...lol. And though I know that exercise is great for your overall health including your hair, I've never really just stuck with an exercise regimen for longer than 1-2 months.

This is SO true! Lol...

I wonder why is that we KNOW what we should & ought to do, but we don't do it? For me personally, it is due to laziness & point blank period...not wanting to do it! Many of us struggle with obesity, high blood pressure, cancer, headaches as a result of it, tiredness, lack of engergy, etc. Being overweight is NOT cute at all. Its ok to be a bigger girl/guy, but be HEALTHY with it! Its not enough to say "bigger women are whats IT"...and you are shortening your own life because you have that concept in mind. Yep, we are all made differently, but we must be HEALTHY so that we can remain fabulous no matter what size we are! When you want something bad enough, you stop at no means to get it. The same is for exercise, when you want to LIVE bad enough (both physically and in the spiritual realm), you will do what it takes in order to do longer. (Wow...I just said something right there..lol). We are too "relaxed" in the sense that nothing bad hasn't happened to us YET. But I don't even want my "YET" to come about period. So I must do something quick, fast, & in a hurry to help prolong my life through a healthy diet & exercise.
So as of today, I did a little exercise. Though I stopped a few times, I kept going & reminding myself that I can do it! Boy if you could have been a fly on the wall to see me you would have laughed hysterically, lol! I like working out in the privacy of my own home, but I see that I become bored really easily. I'm going to keep going though. The challenge only calls for exercising at least 3 days a week for 30 mins or more. It may not be much or that long compared to those who are "seasoned", lol, but it is definitely a start for someone who is not active whatsoever!

To my ROCKistas if you're reading this, THANK YOU so much for all of the kind words, support, & encouragement. Though we are only on day two of the challenge, I feel stronger & better than ever before. It is only a 30 day challenge, and prayerfully within these 30 days I will be able to continue on without stopping. I pray everyone is doing well & I thank you for reading things in this blog about me! And the challenge continues on.......PEACE OUT & KEEP ROCKIN'

As of now, lol, these are the products I'll be using for the challenge. We must incorporate both Olive & Castor Oil along with a great moisturizing conditioner & cleanser for our hair.

I have a new camera, so I'm learning how to work it...lol. You can see my moles & all with this setting...haha! THANKS FOR READING :0)
