Fasting/ Dieting

Its day 2 of my diet.....


Yesterday morning God blessed me with another day. So just being the curious individual that I am, I hopped on the scaled to see how much I weigh. I was not at all pleased with the numbers.....couldnt believe it!!


I'm at 1** (you really thought I would tell you ha).... this is the most Ive weighed ever. What did I do? I went cold turkey.....I made sure not to over eat, started exercising, and drank loads of water. I also made sure not to eat late at night, which I used to love to do.
Im very excited about this new way of living, its not only about making sure that I feel good about my image but also health is the main issue that concerns me the most.


Sometimes we dont put the brakes on it until it is waaay too late....
I love me unconditionally, but I had to put the breaks before it got way out of hand.


Although yesterday was the beginning I will keep an update on my progress, eating habbits, and mood swings that I may develop while on my fasting- diet :-)

    thank u "annonymous fan" habaldorasa...... I agree. Dieting is not about starving, its about eating in portions and learning how to give ur body some rest when it comes to working out! I have a tremendous amount of supporters! God always holds me down, my husband and my beautiful family! What would I ever do without that combo? I feel more than 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
