Dinner was DELISH! NomNom! Tonight’s Weekday Veggie dinner: Grilled Zucchini, Squash, Broccolini, Bok Choy, Red/Green Bell Peppers, Onions, Minced Garlic with Olive Oil, Salt, Cracked Black Pepper, Dill, Chili Pepper flakes. Wrapped in aluminum foil an grilled on low for 20 mins. Also a chilled spinach/tomato pasta with olive oil, cracked fresh black pepper, fresh mozzarella, fresh diced tomatoes, minced garlic, and fresh basil. Easy to make: cook your pasta, add ingredients, and stir gently! And yummy fresh pineapple and green grapes on the side. IT WAS SOOOO GOOD! And look at how much food- but no meat, no carbs! I was stuffed, and still healthy!

During the week (veggie only time)- I have big bowls of fruit for snacks (pictured: orange slices, pineapple chunks)- while I try to mind my caloric intake (the key to dropping weight is the ‘math’ of calories- eat less than you are burning each day)- so in the first two weeks of my move to the weekday vegetarian lifestyle, I tracked my calories using the phone app- ‘Lose It!’ I was surprised to see how FEW calories I could eat, considering the AMOUNT of food I was eating! And it clicked- that’s why I was losing weight so quickly! Huge bowls of salad, small portions of carbs, lots of water, big bowls of fruit and veggie snacks all day (hummus and carrots?! YUM!). I eat a ton of food- but the veggies have NO fat, no carbs, and so many nutrients. I eat as much as I want, and the pounds keep dropping off. Woooo Hooo! #NHM #NaturalHairMojo #teamnatural #naturalhair #naturalhairdontcare #kinkycurly #curlyhair #curlfriends_ #longhairdontcare #blackgirllonghair #naturalhairdiva #naturalhaircommunity #naturalhairjunkies #kinkyhair #coilyhair #curlygirlsrock #naturalgirlsrock #curlbox #naturalhairjourney #twa #bigchop #transitioning #curlygirls #ilovenaturalhair #naturalhairdaily #productjunkie #naturalhairgrowth #naturalhairstyles #kinkykurlydivas

I’m inching up on 40lbs lost, and I’ve had a lot of questions about what on earth I can eat living a’weekday vegetarian’ lifestyle. Wellllll look at my veggie stock fridge! I always have bell peppers, zucchini, squash, corn, cauliflower, broccolini, asparagus, Bok choy…I chop, dice, and mince them- grill and roast, and sauté…also note what ISN’T in my fridge; soda, non real fruit juices, processed cheese, fast food boxes, etc…2.5 months in, and this has change my life! Hope this helps, ladies! #NHM #NaturalHairMojo #teamnatural #naturalhair #naturalhairdontcare #kinkycurly #curlyhair #curlfriends_ #longhairdontcare #blackgirllonghair #naturalhairdiva #naturalhaircommunity #naturalhairjunkies #kinkyhair #coilyhair #curlygirlsrock #naturalgirlsrock #curlbox #naturalhairjourney #twa #bigchop #transitioning #curlygirls #ilovenaturalhair #naturalhairdaily #productjunkie #naturalhairgrowth #naturalhairstyles #kinkykurlydivas

Dry twisting the hair with some coconut oil so I’m prepped and ready to Lin this tutorial in the morning- ill post the link to my YouTube channel here when I’ve finished! Can’t wait! #NHM #NaturalHairMojo #teamnatural #naturalhair #naturalhairdontcare #kinkycurly #curlyhair #curlfriends_ #longhairdontcare #blackgirllonghair #naturalhairdiva #naturalhaircommunity #naturalhairjunkies #kinkyhair #coilyhair #curlygirlsrock #naturalgirlsrock #curlbox #naturalhairjourney #twa #bigchop #transitioning #curlygirls #ilovenaturalhair #naturalhairdaily #productjunkie #naturalhairgrowth #naturalhairstyles #kinkykurlydivas

My leave in conditioner- Giovanni Direct Leave In. Purchased at Target or Whole Foods Grocery for $7.99 @mzlove01. I use this mixed with Kinky Curly Knot today. Please note: It is NOT with the other natural hair sectionitems typically at Target. Giovanni is located with the ‘all natural beauty products’ section, in Health and Beauty at Target- usually next to items like ‘Yes to Carrots and Burt’s Bees.’ At my Target, it’s on the very bottom row and almost always on sale. Also, all the bottles look the same, make sure you are not buying rinse out conditioner, or shampoo! This leave in is GREAT for a drier hair type. Let me know how you like it, ladies! #NHM #NaturalHairMojo #teamnatural #naturalhair #naturalhairdontcare #kinkycurly #curlyhair #curlfriends_ #longhairdontcare #blackgirllonghair #naturalhairdiva #naturalhaircommunity #naturalhairjunkies #kinkyhair #coilyhair #curlygirlsrock #naturalgirlsrock #curlbox #naturalhairjourney #twa #bigchop #transitioning #curlygirls #ilovenaturalhair #naturalhairdaily #productjunkie #naturalhairgrowth #naturalhairstyles #kinkykurlydivas
