new job = new schedule, new temptations and new challenges.
so last week was pretty much a joke. i worked out ONE DAY. and i’m feeling pretty crappy about it. but, my new job is mostly to blame. and in the big scheme of things, a new job is just as important as my fitness regimen. so it’s not all bad. first off, how do I manage to work out with my new schedule? I’m working from 9:30 - 5:30 which isn’t bad at all, except I now have to wake up a lot earlier to make it on time, and the rush hour commute to and from work is no fun. not only that, but my new job is sooo demanding that by the time I get home I’m EXHAUSTED. I’m literally running around ALL DAY. and the last thing I want to do is come home at 7pm and workout for an hour and a half! also, my office has a ridiculous cafeteria filled with affordable delicious food and there are always meetings going on with tables full of free endless sweet treats. so you’d better believe i indulged last week. I was like, “woo hoo! new job and yummy free food! yaaay!” It’s easy to stay on your diet when you don’t have money to eat out and you’re stuck at home all day with a fridge full of healthy food….

seaswallowme asked: Its seems that the ends of my dreads keep thinning out and breaking off, I thought it might be because my hair is dry so I have done oil treatments and put a special kind of salve on it that I got at Sallys Beauty Supply that is specifically for dry hair but nothing seems to work:/ do you know what I can use or what is causing this?
the parts that are thinning, are those locs that you’ve colored? if so, that’s most likely the problem. it’s extremely hard to successfully color locs because of the way they hold moisture. often times there is dye left inside long after they’ve been washed and over time that will cause the loc to thin and break. that’s why my locs are so many different lengths and why i caution people against coloring their locs themselves. i’ve lost the ends of quite a few of my highlighted locs, but thankfully my hair is long enough that it isn’t noticeable.
off the top of my head, i don’t know what can be done to fix it but you might want to consider going to a loctician, as i know many of them offer loc repair services. i doubt it’ll be cheap, but it’s certainly worth looking into.
