Still No Energy, But I Did A Workout!

Thu, 23 May 2013 23:12:09 EST

Yesterday I did not have any energy at all...I was moving so slow..so I figured my body was telling me to take a break..my hubby also said I needed a break from working out so hard..he said exercising is my life now and I need to slow it down..but I feel that if I do..I will want to get back into my old habits and be lazy again. I think that once you get into a good habit it becomes your lifestyle! My friend PRESBESS said I can take a little tiny, itty bitty break..and I did just that becaus...

Metabolism Boosters!

Thu, 25 Apr 2013 17:15:57 EST

Let’s face it, we all want to do away with excess fat, especially this time of year. Winter is over and it’s time to start getting in shape for summer. Exercise is definitely one way to go, and I highly recommend incorporating it into your lifestyle. But food can also boost your metabolism, which leads to weight loss.

Metabolism is the amount of energy or calories needed by your body to maintain itself throughout the day. Every body has a different metabolism, and those with more ...

Wonderful sunday!

Sun, 21 Apr 2013 22:46:23 EST

My Sunday has been so wonderful...first my Lord woke me up early this morning and I Thank You Lord for that...my Hubby and I was up at 6:00 this morning playing and laughing..I love those days..then he cooked me breakfast(black forest ham omelet with onions, tomato, bell peppers with salsa and wheat toast) after breakfast we continued our playful mood out on the deck, the back yard is starting to really look beautiful again..I think I burned alot of calories letting my Hubby chase me.

Sun, 14 Apr 2013 12:48:48 EST

Yesterday I didn't get a chance to Spark..Went to Mississippi for a party that my Aunt had for her son who is leaving for the Air Force on the 16th..we had a good time, but I am going to really miss my little cousin..I know that God is going to take real good care of him..and we are so proud of him!

Health Food!

Tue, 26 Feb 2013 20:51:00 EST

Don’t pass on pasta!
Give whole-wheat varieties a shot. They have more fiber and fewer calories and grams of fat compared to regular noodles. Top with a spiced-up marinara or steamed veggies and low-fat cheese. I really love the whole wheat pasta..it might look nasty but it's not..Go ahead and dig in..Yummy..Yummy and good for yourTummy

It's been a week since I had this cold...I couldn't workout for 4 days(oh how I felt helpless)...but I was told by my doctor to rest and not worry about exercises...my brain was working overtime trying to figure out how to get a workout in, but my Hubby was on patrol and he wouldn't let me do anything...so I finally gave in and listen to my body and got the rest I needed...My God this cold was real bad, I had no energy..everything I ate and drank tasted nasty, but the patrol man(my Hubby) mad...

It's Family Night And I Don't Feel Good!

Fri, 18 Jan 2013 21:41:36 EST

Tonight is family night...we have been playing games, watching movies, eating salads....but now I am being put to bed..I haven't been feeling good all day...my throat is scratchy, my ears hurt, my head hurts and now it's spinning... I have been trying to hang in there all day(but I guess I need to rest)..so our family night has been cut short...I was so looking forward to a fun weekend...Hopefully if the Lord say the same tomorrow I will feel better! Thank You Jesus!

Maximum Power!

Thu, 17 Jan 2013 23:14:11 EST

Maximum power...I found my power in me and I really like it...Tonight's workout was challenging, but I stayed with it to the end...usually when I try something more butt busting ..I tend to give in and let it kick my butt..Not tonight baby! The Diva in me did her thing!

Don't get me wrong sometimes I might stumble...but I always get back up..pushing myself beyond all the pain and sweat...I found out that my motivation come from within..and no one can motivate me better then MYSELF!...

New Year Resolution!

Tue, 1 Jan 2013 19:13:58 EST

New Year Resolution(I think NOT)..I have learned that making resolutions can set you up to fell! I seem to always wanted to get it over and done real fast(so I fell every time)!

So what's the plan for 2013? First, keep God in my life and in my family life..continue to tell everyone how GOOD He is!(If you don't believe me.. try Him for yourself, and if you don't like Him..the devil will always take you back!)(Smile)..no really!

I plan on continuing to take things slowly.....

Fitness Tip Friday!

Fri, 7 Dec 2012 15:06:17 EST

What you don't need after a workout: gulping a sports drink! Unless you're working out at an intense pace for hours, you don't need to refuel with a sports drink. A 12 oz. serving of Gatorade contains 330 calories! Instead of drinking your calories, stick to water and a small snack, like an apple with peanut butter, or carrots and hummus.

Motivation- In order to change your BODY..You must frist change your MIND!

I walked another 2 miles with my Hubby..the walk started off brisk and fast..we talked and laughed...then it turned into a flirty walk..and we were thinking, what we could do on that trail..well the thoughts was cut short..because we ended up running from a skunk..yes a skunk decided that he had the right away to the trail..and he did(lol)..but the walk that had gotten so heated, cooled down really fast..we could only think, what if the skunk had sprayed us..and we giggled away!

THE PURINA DIET!

Fri, 17 Aug 2012 22:01:55 EST

I was at Walmart buying a bag of Purina dog chow for my dog, while in the check-out line a woman behind me asked if I had a dog. Why else would I be buying dog chow, RIGHT??? So on impulse I told her that no, I didn't have a dog, I was starting the Purina Diet again, and that I probably shouldn't because I ended up in the hospital last time, but that I'd lost 50 pounds before I awakened in intensive care with tubes coming out of most of my orifices and IVs in both arms.
