Day 3 and Day 1

OK so this is day 3 of my loc journey (via yarn braids) and day 1 of "Operation Tara" What is that you ask? Well befor I get into that I want to talk about day 3. ok so I seem to stay in the mirror fussing with my hair. I have removed some and redid them, I have wrapped yarn around them to do yarn wraps (not all of them) ...Just trying it out. My daughter didn't like them. She said to leave them as they were. My husband says in a week I will be taking them down LOL. He says that because I keep messing with them.

The reason I have them to begin with is because I didn't want to cut my hair. I have relaxed ends and did not want to cut them off, so I was looking for an alternate way to lock. I have to give it a shot. It's either this or the big chop and get comb twist until they lock. 

OK about day 1. Day 1 is the start of healthier living. I ate differently today and I pray that I am able to continue. I can do all things thru Christ who strengthens me. I spoke that Word frequently today, especially while doing my 2 mile walk. Yes I started that part too. Exercise! woo hooo LOL well I also jogged about a half mile. I need to lose 15 lbs- 20 lbs ..and I can achieve that by eating right and staying active. My best friend has been doing the Insanity work out for like 4 months. This girl looks good! She has lost sooo many inches and everything. I felt very motivated from her before and after pictures. (not motivated enough to do the Insanity workout, mind you, but motivated ) :-)

So what's a girl to do??? Well for one I need to commit to my yarn braids. I decided to lock with them and should commit to that. I read and watch on you tube where several girls are saying they look better as time goes on. We shall see. My biggest issue, if I have not made that clear, is that they are too small. I wish I had used more than 3 strands for the braiding. Also, they are very short. Like a short bob. An a-line bob. My idea :-/ 

Anyway good evening and God bless
