enjoying the natural!

Bueno mi gente, here I am enjoying my Natural look! Its been now exactly 7 days...A full week of beutiful Natural look.! Many have commented and said that I was crazy and that who wants the napps but the issue is that I have no napps, no caracoles...lol....No frizz and my hair is already growing.  It feels good to be me.  For a long time being me was a thing of the past.
I had 2 babies in the span of 3 years.  My daughter is now 4 and my youngest son is 16mths and I gained weight and lost some of my hair beuty.  So it was hard to find me. My husband found me attractive and Chula! but I didn't find the Chula in me.  And it was taking a toll on me, the me I was used to seeing.  I was never high maintenance and I never needed to look a certain way to to concider myself Beutyful. But there where certain things that I did to make me feel like me.  I would do my feet, u know the whole pedicure. I would find the nicest colors to match my liking and add some sazzy glitter to bring out the feet beuty and even that was a thing of the past.  Being a mom of 4 and a wife is a handful.  And I lost me lost the desire to be cute.  But one day I said  " Ya basta, hasta 'qui llegue"~ "Enough" ~and decided to little by little fix me.  I started with the one thing that was bothering me the most..Y eso era la pipa!  Yes the round pouty ring I got with the last two babies.  I never dieted before I was always a size 10-12 and now I was doing 16-18 and I wasn't happy at all!
Don't get me wrong big girls are beutiful....very beutiful I have two best friends that be rockin' and workin' those outfits and hair  and nails and lashes , YOU GO MY BEUTIFUL HEVAS!

But me in my own ways and rights I was not happy with who I was and looked! So I started with a diet plan...I chose Special K...now I don't know nothing about diets cause I've never been on one until now....so Special K worked for me! I lost about 12lbs so far! not entirely with the diet.  I just stuck with it for about 3 mths then alternated with the same ideas and ways of the diet. I chose healthier food and more water.
I didn't eat fast foods for the first 3mths and exercised.  Walking was my first choice then I did the "biggest loser" work out and am  now doing Jillian Micheals and exercisetv workouts on a regular bases. 
Working out 3-4 times a week is my desire but with such a busy mommy/wifey schedule 2-3 times a week is a plus! I have also decided that running around with the 1 yr old and 4 year old is fun and part of my exercise.  Going up and down the stairs doing laundry is also an exercise cause I'll run up and down instead of walking.
 So going "Natural" is not only a hair thing but an all over NATURAL effect!.......

1Corinthian 15:58 says "⁵⁸Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain."

So no matter who feels I should continue chemically inducing my hair straight I will fight and stand against the fakeness of my reality....dat I am AFRO-LATINA CON UN BUEN SABOR A BORINQUEN Y SERE SIEMPRE PIELMORENA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!     my hari labor is not in vain!  GOZATE ESTA EN LO QUE VIEAN LA OTRA!
