master cleanse day 8 almost done

June 29, 2009 at 8:09 pm (Uncategorized)

so i am on day 8 and i’m doing good… i just want to eat so bad… LOL… still mental and emotional hunger, but it’s time… lol maybe i picked the wrong time to fast, but i couldn’t have. i prayed and got the answer that fasting was what i needed to do. i have been thinking and doing a lot of reflection and introspection and i dunno. but so far so good. i don’t know how much i’ve lost but i had to have lost at least 10 pounds no kidding… because clothes that i couldn’t fit i can now wear. i mean they are aliitle snug LOL, but i can go from here adn lose the weight i need to lose… i’ll prolly still leave the count at about 30 pounds to lose… how i’ll be able to tell who knows, but i’ll be able to tell by the clothes i wear or can fit back into with no problem. and i’ll hve a good judge by then… but other than that.. i’m relaxng and overall i’lm glad i fasted. it would have probably beeen easier to fast with out as much personal distraction but maybe i will get to do it again. i’m sure i will and we will see what happens…

about my upcoming locking a few months ago i bought some wigs to wear because i have to go around with my hair basically unstyled for the two weeks between the consult and the time they are installed. i think i will see what other people did in that time frame…. i hate wigs but i have to do something. they’re cute, but they are “wiggy” no offense to each his or her own i just don’t dig wigs, but i can’t figure out a better option.

until next time,

much love,

master cleanse day #6 mental/emotional hunger

so far so good on my fasting and detoxing. i’m on day six. i ‘m hoping for a 10-14 day fast, but i’ve been in prayer and have  no idea how long i may have to do this. i have a slight headache, but not horrible. i’m just wanting to eat yesterday i was st my cosuin’s house and they were eating ppizza and today i have a kid’s birthday party to attend and they will be eating a bunch of junk that i’ll undoubtedly want to eat. but i am denying myself for the sake of my health and detoxing purposes and so… grrrrrrrr :) i want to eat but i don’t feel the need to eat so i am battling with simply my mental and emotional need to eat, but not real hunger… but the craving is a BEAST!

nothing too new to report, i think i am losing weight, but since i have no scale i don’t really know… i think i look a little smaller, my face looks smaller, my skin looks like its clearing up a bit, my eyes look more clear. i notice that difference. i bought a food dehydrator yesterday. it should be coming in the mail. i plan on working on this raw foods thing and seeing what i can do with. dehydrating takes long time but i saw some really good recipes i want to try and so we’ll see how that goes. it will at the very least it give me a healthy alternative to a lot of the foods i was eating like chips they said i can sub for zuccini and dip them in guacamole…mmmmm i love guacamole. and if i can make some healthy snacks at least then that can curb some of that. what  i d do like about this cleanse detox is that its a chance for me to restart my system and put the right things into it and get recharged and amped about healthier eating. AMEN!? amen! so i will keep posting and letting you know how it going. TTFN!

much love,

master cleanse day #2

okay so day 2 unfortunately i have no working scale so i can’t tell you if i lost weight or not..lol… but i sweated like crazy last night. plus for some strange reason my back is out, and i am doing my best to stay put and rest (grrrrr!) that has kinda taken my mind off the desire to want to eat.. although i have wanted to eat some chips badly..but i haven’t  and i still chew gum to help keep me from eating or feeling like i’m really missing something. although i think i used to much cayenne peeper, so far so good still. i hope to atleast do 10 days like my friend just did. today was okay, it might be tomorrow that’s a ebast… or maybe not,.. i want to be positive about it all, but not dellusional. anyway i am still really looking forward to getting my sisterlocks… i am looking forward to freeingmyeself from the bondage of buying hair and wearing other peopl’s hair LOL! i want to be free! i sooo look forward to it all! of course i look forard to it growing and getting longer and locking and just being able to do some more styles,.. i have no idea how i will style my short locks… it will be a whole new experience… i read other people’s blogs about how they went through such a period of emotional, mental, and/or spiritual growth… i look forward to that too.. in fact, when i was looking to lock my hair i was trying to figure out who would do it, because this si a different kind of experience, and i didn’t want just anyone in my hair for this kind of thing, locking my hair is something close to my heart and soul and i am not taking it lightly…. i was blessed enough to get in conact with Phyliss McCoy, a certified sisterlocks consultant and christian.  a friend of mine uses her to do her sisterlocks so i have some added confidence. :) becasue i have heard wonderful stories and i have heard horror stories about sisterlocks consultants some certified adnsome not,… and i am not willing to take my chances.

at any rate to make along story short…. i am on day 2 of my maser cleanse/detox/fast… so far so good,… still excited about sister locks,… and still in process of rededicating myself back to a healthier lifestyle through diet and exercise… (but all of that has to wait til my back is healed an i’m finished with my fast).

okay ttyl

much love,

so, june has started to be a not so good month for me… in every area of my life… i have decided it is time for me to fast. i need to cleanse and detox my body and my mind and my life.. i have chosen to join my friend on the master cleanse detox, fast. hopefully i can lose some of the physical weight gain from the emotional rollercoaster  i’ve been on, and maybe rededicate myself back to my healthy and vegetarian eating. i have done this fast before, but it never lasted long, it is a rough spiritual and emotional journey and i’m hoping to make it at least 7 days, if i make it 7 days i’m sure i can make it to 10 days, and so on and so forth. i know this isn’t necessarily a sisterlocks post, but i told you this a my life journey, and sisterlocks just so happens to be a part of it. i am rededicating myself to exercise, and will be trying to lose the 30 pounds i have gained being lazy and distraught and just plain not giving myself the care i so deserve. who ever is reading this will get to see my journey of rebirth in many aspects and stages of my life… take care and much love,

it’s me

so i am starting this blog to document my natural hair journey, etc. it will kinda document my life as well as i am naturally a writer and don’t mind sharing. i have had natural hair for over 10 years, and like many others i’ve worn weaves, wigs, braids, and everything in between. i had toyed with the idea of having locs for a little over a year now, but said to myself i wanted smaller ones, but not too small lol and not oo big… and i didn’t know how i was going to achieve that.. i was concerned about the fact that i wouldn’t be able to “come out” of my locs if i didn’t like them.

then the heavens opened up and i heard about sister locks! :)

i looked on the website and immediately fell in love. i love the versatility… ‘ve been wearing single braids for over a year and like the fact they can be styled like braids and like regular hair almost… so my appointment was originally for june  19-20th, but i had to reschedule for sept 25…. so the count down is on…

i do worry about what i’ll look like with them.. especially in the shorter phase.. everyone tells me they are sure they will look very nice on me… i think they will too, but i am anxious about what they will look like on the initial installation i’ve seen some beautiful installations with shorter hair… and some… rather interesting ones, now don’t get me wrong, all of them looked good to be honest but there were some pictures where i thought if that was my hair i wouldn’t know what to do with it. like i wouldn’t know how to style it or how to wear it

i’ll post pics of me in braids my normal look… i have i think abut 5 inches of natural hair i really don’t know, i’ve never really measured… its not too short as i’ve seen other people, but not very long either so i’m thinking 5 inches is probably about right.

me in braids…
