this is me before my "big chop" I've been lurking on this site for a while, building up the courage to let go of the "creamy crack" I grew my perm out for four months before I said forget dealing with two different textures... btw can someone please tell me what "twa" means...

I finally did it...yeaaaa 4 me ! I cut all the perm out, it's been 5 days...I've been busy, I haven't been able to play in it yet, or take too many pictures...but I do plan to update often.

here's a picture of my hubby's locs, this is his 2nd time around growing them. When they got about this length last year he cut them off. Then decided to grow them back, his nappianiversary will be in Feb., it hasn't been a year yet and look how long his hair is...I must admit I'm jealous about the fast growth.....lol

Month 7 is here already......I just noticed I'm on the phone running my mouth on most of these pics....lol

It's May already, is it me or does it fell like this year is flying by? Well here are some updates....

16 months natural (jan.)

It's been a while but I'm back !

So I've been away for quite sometime.....(thanks to facebook...i'm so addicted to it come friend me ....Tomekia Alvarez) and summer which was a total BLAST ! but here are a few updates, these pics are so random and not in any particular order. Since I've been gone I've had some changes in my life, I lost 42 pounds (yea for me) !!!!! ummmm....that's just about it....but if u want to see constant updates find me on facebook ! oh and this month makes 3 years natural for me !!!



How I did it......lost 42 pounds :

In the beginning my routine was walking everyday for 3 miles, I cut out sugar completely (got my sugar fix from fruit only), and also let go of all white pasta bread and rice... Stick to whole grain and brown only. I don't drink soda or juice only water or zero calorie vitamin water and zero calorie sobe . I'm a huge snacker so I made sure I always had fruit veggies or nuts around me at all times so I could stick to clean snacking...that's basically it.....oh and instead of looking at it as dieting I look at it as a lifestyle change I looked at it like what if I were a diabetic and HAD to eat like this and workout cause my life depended on it, and that helped a lot ! 2 months into it I lost 15 pounds but it took me about 6 months total to lose 42. Right now I'm maintaining not trying to lose anymore so I'm adding weight training to my routine
