Life's Ambition

Image
I became creative today and I have to make a post of it. I am quite artistic, I realized this not too long ago and I started to explore this personality trait as much as I can. I started by investing in other languages, now photography and many more to come, watch this space. Each piece of photo is very significant to me. I really love this! The life I love and desire in a photo collage. Have you made a collage before? What are your desires in life? Can you put them in pictures? Let me know what you feel in the comments.

Week 32 Weigh-in: Journey to Success

Image
This is a big challenge for most of us to come to terms with during any weight loss journey.  Everybody reacts to nutritional change and fitness differently. My pushups may make different muscle changes on me than your pushups do on you. But it’s really hard to remember that when someone lost twice as much weight as you did in the same amount of time.  We have all had those moments when the comparisons become a negative thought:  Why can she lose weight so fast and I can’t?  Keep it sane. Don’t compare yourself with others weight loss paths. Keep positive. Support yourself and congratulate others.  Your journey is your own!

Don't Give Up

Image
You're bored. Frustrated. Exasperated. Tired. Just too busy to even think of trying to lose weight. You want to quit.  Don't despair. You've reached the point in your weight-loss project that truly determines whether or not you're going to get to your goal and stay there.

Week 2 Weigh in: 170lbs (TOM and other issues)

Image
It is going to be a quick post today because less had happened other than lots of clutter and disorganization, ish. Today is another weigh in and I can say I did not do badly with a gain of a pound from last week. TOM is here and I normally have a 3lbs gain for other months. To be candid, I hate making excuses but not when life keeps getting in my way. I have issues with people who are disorganized and they keep assuming that is the way every other person around them is. I became a little organized after reading Eat That Frog! (21 Great Ways to Stop Procrastinating and Get More Done in Less Time) . The book is about handling your stuff in the order of importance, the "frog" is actually the activity that is hardest for you and shouldn't be delegated or delayed for another time, this is marked "A", a "B" is what is second most important but that is not so vital but equally necessary. A "C" is an activity that can be delegated or shif

Creative Intentions in 2016

Image
I saw this header somewhere   and I felt it is a better word than New Year's Resolutions . Resolutions look so outdated and sounds more like a failed plan even before it began. When I was much younger, I had always heard adults make resolutions that I see them break at the slightest chance. They could work but it looks like many forget about it and that is why it never worked for many. Maybe we can help ourselves out on ways to have better intentions or decisions and keep at it till we achieve them. Mindfulness   Mind Over Matter : This is the key to achieving goals at any time, it is a strong and conscious desire to be on top of the situations at every check. You can get it if you want it so badly. Losing weight or quitting an unhealthy diet for example, nothing should occur in error. There is a dire need to be fully conscious of your environment at all times to really achieve your goals. You can make some decisions that could help in putting these goals right befor

Happy Thanksgiving

Image
What are you thankful for? So I'm here today because God kept me. I'm alive today, only because of His grace. God kept me so I wouldn’t let go There is hope of better days/things to come when we still have breathe in us, a hope of doing a lot more in life is assured only if we are alive. Sustenance of life rests with God. He created food, provides food, makes the food work, even the ability to eat/digest the food lies with God (wonderfully and fearfully created). The digestion starting from the mouth and down till making it beneficial for us is awesomely God, and we need to be thankful for this. There is little we can do to really help ourselves outside God and thus my reason for being thankful to Him today. However, that “ little ” we can do must be of utmost priority, this is where fitness and healthy diet comes in. We need to be conscious of a fact that “toxin” is a part of life in this generation (remember global warming), but in case we cannot

Just Do It

Image
That has been my watch word for the past weeks and I had been reaping the dividends of this. I just workout without thinking and all I look forward to is getting to the middle of the video, because immediately I get to the middle of it, I know it will soon end and I keep giving it my best. Unfortunately this works best for my workout but not for my diet yet. Still my diet is jeopardizing my efforts, not my faults I think some hormones are just wacky and I possibly do not have anything to calm them down right now. I can only work around them and wait. In view of this I wish to start some multivitamins so that my body is in control of a few things. Not sure if age is catching up lol. I will keep up with the mantra and it can only get better.
