For those of us who straighten their hair, are you still working out?? I don't have a relaxer, I simply get my hair straightened. I've been able to work out the last 2 months due to having braids, but I've been on maternity leave. I go back to work next week and I work in a fairly conservative environment so I'll be going back to my press. I really want to continue my weight loss but wearing braids year round is definately not an option.... I'm feeling pretty discouraged because I"m so close to my weight loss goal.

How are you dealing with your hair and working out?? My workouts are high intensity cardio so I'm drenched in sweat. I've thought about walking everyday pushing my two kids in the stroller, but I don't know if going from high intensity cardio to walking will do anything for me ;(

I guess this is kind of a vent, but I'll take suggestions if anyone has some?

    That's so funny but I guess it's a serious question. Yes, I'm still working out and yes, my hair gets wet then it dries lol
  • I have permed hair and it sucks to pay money to get my hair done then sweat it out the next day but hey I'll live!
