A mind of it's own

My body is weird. It does what it does when it wants to do it. Its only day 4 of my diet and exercise and I've lost 5lbs. This may seem a bit absurd to most, I've been reading up on how to properly diet and I've been doing so...... but as I explained before, my body is not in sync with my mental, its very rebellious! As much as Ive tried not to lose weight so quickly, I still do. To be at a healthy weight lost its said to lose 3lbs in two weeks. Unbelievable! And here I am not even a week and I'm already 5lbs under Whoa!

I even rested a day from my daily workout just because I was sore, and still my body chooses to do its own thing. Well, I can say that I have not been eating as heavy as before. Also, I've abstained from drinking alcohol. They never indicate how much calories an alcoholic beverage may obtain, but believe me alcohol and liquor contains a whole lot of unnecessary calories. (TRUTH)

When I diet I like to meditate and write a lot. It keeps me focused on the goal and not the journey. I'm also getting back in the habit of reading a lot! No, not your stupid Facebook statuses, but books and more interesting things about life and health. I've assimilated good information throughout long hours of study doing so.......

My journey is on a very positive path, I'm feeling great, I feel free.

Funny how as I diet I cook my husband all these fattening  foods. Not too long ago I made lasagna for him , because of course I can no longer treat myself to that kind of food. I tell you his rapacious appetite ate all the lasagna that I made. He is so lucky, he eats what he wants when he wants to and his body remains the same. No weight gain or weight loss........

But I refuse to feel bitter about anything in life. If you can breath, see, walk and talk, you are more than blessed. And believe me, that's how I feel, BLESSED.

Eco Styler Gel Olive Oil Wash and Go!

Image
I am absolutely in love with this gel! Its gives great hold and allows for me to have preserved wash and go's for as long as I want before washing my hair! The smell is light and with the new technique that I am using when I do my wash and go's drying time has minimized! My curls hang a lot more with the new technique. Although I still experience shrinkage (which comes with the territory of being natural) I must say that I am very pleased with the dry ending results. Here is my day 3 hair WNG: I have yet to try the other Eco Styler gels but so far I am more than pleased with what the Eco Styler gel Olive Oil can do for my hair. I get a lot of questions as to whether or not it makes my hair crunchy, hard, flaky, or dry and my answer to all of these is no. It does give a good hold but not crunchy at all, I always get movement with my hair- its never stiff. I also want everyone to be aware that I apply my leave in conditioner and oi

My Perfect Wash and Go!

Image
I have finally perfected my wash and go's! I've had great wash and go days but I was constantly struggling with trying to eliminate frizz. Today as I browsed through YouTube I payed close attention to Mahogonaycurls technique and how she achieves her wash and go styles. One technique in particular was what caught my attention and had the little voice in my head say, "try it! I really believe this will work for your hair as well". I did not even finish watching the video when I found myself in the bathroom trying this new technique. The technique is simple, all I did was apply Eco styler gel on my dry hair (you can also do it on wet or damp hair, just wanted to minimize my shrinkage- why I chose to apply the gel on dry hair) and section it off in really small sections. Apply the gel and continue until fully done- my hair looks and feels very moisturized, which is exactly what I've been longing for with my wash and go's. I will continue to do this technique- m
