Body Sculpting Update

It's been over 7 months since I've updated my body sculpting progress. I think I'm basically just maintaining. I'm okay with this except for my stomach which needs to be more defined. This means losing at least 8 more pounds. I have no desire to get bulky so I'm happy with the rest just staying toned. Cycling comes first and extra weight on the upper body impedes riding, particularly climbing. Having decent upper body strength though is a benefit I've found as I don't tire as easily on long rides and have more general power. Core strength is critical too.

Three Months Later

My hair has not been trimmed since the last update. These three months have featured lots of strong summer sunlight and some salt water too. The ends are only so-so but I plan on leaving them alone for the time being. The quest for terminal continues…

After a Heavy Coconut Oiling

I did a thorough coconut oiling last night and kept it in for about 20 hours before shampooing and conditioning this afternoon.  This is after it had dried:

Despite the oiling, it's looks on the frizzy side.  There is little that can be done to avoid that with shampooing and conditioning hair that day.  It will probably look more sleek tomorrow.

My Hair Journey At A Glance

Here are nine years of growing shown in 15 photos:

Hairline Analysis

Here's a comparison of my hairline over the years.  It started out high but appears to have remain unchanged.  I no longer think about it much though I keep a watchful eye from time to time.

Halfup Braid Comparison

The photo from two posts ago shows what my halfup braid looked like almost one year ago.  It was not pretty to say the least.  Tonight I put my hair in the style to compare and was pleased to see an improvement.

A Couple of Front Shots

I'm looking forward to seeing what the next year will bring.  I'm adding a couple of photos showing the front and one more of the back.  I shampooed and conditioned today plus did a fairly heavy oiling with the Ojon.
