I have been thinking of something awesome for Christmas and countdown starts in 2 days i.e. December 1st. So I feel starting a streak within a streak will be a good idea afterall. Today is filled with activities but I would not forget my workout because of that. I should be working out tonight although, I am having a heap of a wash right now, I will most definitely start my workout soon. I hope to also wash my hair tonight. I already pre-pooed with olive oil and will be doing a tea rinse [ it's my first experience ] after the wash too. I will unveil the package by Sunday night. Get ready for me...

Each day is a blank page and I hold the pen! I am the author of my own story!! I am thankful for each day that I am given. For each opportunity to begin anew and let today be the day to focus on. Life is too short, but it should be long enough. Long enough to do the things that are important in a life. I am of the mindset that life isn't about sitting back on the sidelines and watching a sort of "life-parade" go by and cheer those out there "doing it"! NO NO NO!!! It's about being the parade, the band, the enthuisiam, the tickertape, the cheers, the whole thing. It's about not only the events, but the atmosphere around those events. Of not just seeing life, but tasting, smelling, diving into it. Rubbing it all over like a salt rub and then then letting out a primevil type utterance.. YEAHHHHHH!!! That's what I'm talking about..extreme.. extreme... grabbing what you can with both hands and not letting go even if you end up being dragged a bit,

1) Who is your favorite superhero/villain? 2) What was your favorite vacation spot? 3) Who is your favorite cartoon character? 4) If you could dye your hair any color, what color would it be? 5) What was the funniest joke you ever heard? 6) How long have you known your best friend? 7) Jumpsuits/Rompers or Harem Pants? 8) What is your favorite accessory? 9) Who is your fashion role model? 10) What color is your closet full of? 11) How many pairs of shoes do you own? I promised to answer the above questions yesterday and here I am today. 1. Favorite Superhero should be my dad before his death. He looks like a complete man; 2. Favorite Vacation spot is a place with a waterfall/natural habitat; 3. "Thomas" in Tom & Jerry; 4. My favorite hair dye color would be Amber; 5. I cannot remember any right now, I have heard a whole lot of jokes; 6. I don't have a best friends except if my DH counts as one. I have known h

The above questions are to be answered by ME. A task given by Tatyana Hunter who nominated me for an award. Thank you so much for showing mercy to someone with less than 200 followers, duh. I will post the answers tomorrow. I need to hit the sheets now, there is church tomorrow.

Hey Friends, Today should be great save the pains I had. The pains were not too bad but it kept me irritable and inactive. It was a church member's wedding and I could do nothing beyond the ordinary to help in service and arrangements. In the midst of this I had a walk, like a 15 minutes walk. (That counts as my workout for the day and I tag it ACTIVE REST) I did not do any deliberate workout today because there was just too much to do within a little time. So after this post, I will be going to have my daily 5 mins jump rope interval dose, (I loved the streak). I have been doing it and I have been enjoying it and who knows 5 minutes becomes 10 mins and on and on. Good news I have a new crush on beachbody.com and trust me I am loving every bit of it. Unlike fitness blender who normally have it slow but intense, beachbody has it fast, furious and insanely intense. Unfortunately, getting to download on YouTube is almost impossible because their videos are not even there, my

This is where I am now; I wish to move here soon;

Monday, October 13, 2014 This blog is from Debra of Sparkpeople. Her blog was featured today and I loved it. In my weight loss journey, there are lots of places my head can be. It might be buried in the sand because I don’t want to know what I know. It might be up some other part of my anatomy because I want to do self destructive things to soothe myself or to lose weight. But the most dangerous place my head can be is buried is in the past thinking about the things I should have eaten, not eaten, done, not done, the missed opportunities, the wasted effort, the lost years, etc. Coulda, shoulda, woulda.  In accounting, when there are no other entries that will be made to an amount, a double line is drawn to show that the tally is final. The past is like that. No amount of anguish, hand-wringing, fat-shaming screeds or other maneuvers can change what happened then. No anger, resentment or instant replaying can change it. No obsession about it, devotion to it or anxious preservati
