As I mentioned a little while back, my roommate and I are on our "Bringing Sexy Back" mentality this year.
Recently we started doing a program from BeachBody.com called P90X.
I dunno if you'd ever heard of it but this workout routine is INTENSE!
I workout regularly and pretty strenuously, I thought. I was losing inches just doing my own thing but it was slow. I was definitely a lot stronger and could lift way more than I ever had before but I didn't see many changes in my appearance, not in the areas I want to see change anyway.
P90X is NO JOKE! I've done it for 3 weeks (barely, off and on) and I see things changing in my abs, arms, and shoulders. Those are my trouble areas. I fight with them and never see a thing change but after this workout for a pretty short time i see it!
Mad excited! Its a 90 day thing so I can't wait till I'm done.. its gonna be intense! I'll post pix and be all vain (lol).
Anyway.. I'm happy. More than just my hair is changing now.
Thanks for reading ladies and gentlemen!
My roots are condensing y'all! Its great. Still mostly in the back.. the front is behind (lol, oxymoron).
The condensed portion begins at the root and on some of them I can feel it travel quite far down the length, while others are just starting.
It's great to see the real change.
I dunno but to me it looks like the frizzies are actually going away. Is that good or bad? Not sure. It doesn't feel like I've done anything to set it back so maybe this is just part of the process..
Thanks for reading ladies (and gentlemen)!

This is weird. As I sit in class and stare at my tips (lol, no I'm not lying) I notice that quite a few are going blond!
What???? Blond tips? It's strange. Some are a brown(ish) color, some more red, and a few are actually blond. This has never happened to me before, well, not that I noticed anyway..
Anyone else experience this? Any known causes????
I was chilling with one of my best friends the other night, supposedly doing homework (that was the plan anyway.. lol) and I started messing with his hair. He's got one of those Corbin Bleu fros that I was always so jealous of. I used to threaten him with a beat down if he ever cut it. I've relinquished that threat since then cuz, let's face it, it's HIS hair.. lol.
Anyway, I never thought he noticed things like my hair. He just doesn't really pay attention to those things. So, as we shirked our homework I heard him say, "Raxxie your hair is growing."
May not sound big to anyone else but if even he noticed, then it must be doing something! Yay me! My hair is making moves.
If you recall, I flipped out awhile ago about how short it looked to me. I realized later that it was shrinking because it's locking. I'd thought that I hadn't retained any length in the last year. Glad I was wrong so I can stop freaking out! lol.
Thanks for reading!
