I also purchased a few loc socs in various colors. My hair is a little short to be wearing them as anything other than headbands, but they are nice to have.

New hair color!
I haven't updated my blog in a while and what better time to do it than with a new hair color! My sisterlocks needed a little pick me up and what better way to do that than with a new color! I wanted something lighter than my natural hair color or at the very least something that would indicate that I colored my hair.

The Simple Diet
I'm doing this 8 in 8 weight loss challenge with some people at work and after 4 weeks decided that I needed some advice on starting a healthy, doable eating plan, so I have decided to start "The Simple Diet" by Dr. James W. Anderson. Basically it's meal replacement on a more simpler and affordable plan. At the beginning you use three shakes and two entrees daily, along with at least five servings of fruits and vegetables. So a typical day would be:
Breakfast: Strawberry shake (Special K) blended with 1 banana
Morning Snack: 1 cup cantaloupe
Lunch: Ravioli Florentine (Smart Ones) (or entree of choice), 1 cup roasted mushroom, tomatoes, and zucchini
Afternoon Snack: Rich Chocolate Royale shake (Slim-Fast)
Dinner : Roasted Chicken Marsala (Healthy Choice) (or entree of choice), 1 cup steamed carrots, 1 cup steamed snap pease
Evening Snak: Vanilla Bean shake (GNC) blended with frozen mixed fruit
Also during the first phase you should build up to burning 2,000 additional calories in physical activity weekly (about two to three miles, or thirty to forty-five minutes, of walking, six days weekly).
I feel that I should be able to accomplish this, but I have to keep my eyes on the prize. Right now I'm about 212 and I want to lose about 45 pounds to get down to 166. I did a trial run today to see if I would become hungry after just downing a shake for breakfast and I was pretty satisfied until my morning snack. I just need to be consistent about when I eat...I work at a library and my hours aren't the best for keeping with a schedule. Oh well...nothing ventured...nothing gained...or in my case...LOST!
