March 1st was supposed to mark the official change in my health and wellness regimen, but being the procrastinator I always claim not to be, my ambitious health and wellness pursuit kick started on March 15th! Now that winter is finally making its departure, and the packed on belly fat seems fruitless (no pun intended) in keeping me warm during the cold months, it’s officially time to begin a true, concerted effort towards working on my summer body goals. So for those who’d like to join your girl on the train to optimum health, here’s a quick run through! First, let’s address any notion of inadequacy. Embrace your own beauty inside and out. We are beautiful despite any weight, and certainly despite any image of beauty society repeatedly tries to instill in us. I’ve decided to change my ways to improve my health and gain back all the muscle I’ve lost since my extremely fit, soccer-playing days (which you can somewhat envision from the picture on the left). In order to do this, I plan to be more mindful of what I put into my body; stay active, and make time for mental health and wellness. Now, time to set some first month’s (well, about two weeks worth of) goals!
Some Don’ts:
Finally, you’ll want to maintain your luscious locs through all this sweat you’re about to experience. Protective styles are the perfect “go-to”! From Senegalese Twists to the indestructible up do, you can go hard in your workout and encourage hair growth if that’s your goal. But if you’re not a huge fan of protective styling, any style that keeps the hair off your neck should suffice. Just be sure to cleanse the scalp and hair at least once a week and moisturize daily! Now that we’ve outlined a few goals, remember to uplift each other. We’re all in this together! Be sure to check out our Instagram and Tumblr along with the website for some weekly updates and words of inspiration and a chance to share your own experiences! Yours truly, Sista Jay Goals!!!
