Still on my getting healthy mission

So...I was doing excellent today until about 5:45pm

Me looking goofy lol :)




MY Healthy Day (or somewhat healthy)

• woke up around 8:00 (a.m) and did 1 hour of advanced Tae Bo. Seriously, if you guys really want to get in shape you need to get some Billy Blank into your life. He is awesome at making you feel like your about to collapse, but you work your butt off. REALLY!
  
  
• Showered, co-washed hair, made two strand twists, painted nails (made YouTube vid)
  
  
• Ate an awesome bowl of Cascadian Farm Organic oats with banana slices. YUM Oh and a cup of coffee.

• Did a million errands including laundromat (Finished my take home test before class tonight)
  
  
• OK, this is where I messed up. I was hungry and did not have time to make a salad at home as planned so I made the mistake at grabbing a McChicken and Small Fry from Mickey D's. The only good thing is that I didn't finish. I felt like I was eating an entire Chicken. Reason being is when you don't eat fast food for a long time, it feels like too much when you do. This is coming from a person who was still hungry after a Big Mac Meal just a year ago. Big Improvement. I'll have to get more disciplined about situations like these.
  
  
• After my marketing class I settled down with the last of my banana pudding. So Delish!
  
  
  It wasn't the worst day thanks to Billy, but I plan to do much better in the future.
  Toodles! XOXO
  

My next Victim

I must have this purse. 1. Its sleek 2. The design is very chic 3. It can hold all my crap 4. It's super affordable (under $40) 5. I usually dress simple so fashion bags really spice up my look
YEAH...It's "alot" to the eye but it's the kind of bag you wear when your clothes aren't making a statement.
Will definitely purchase this for my B-Day in November. Go Scorps!
The store's websit is:

Today has been a success!

Ok... Big Hello to all of you. so... I've been bad lately :( I feel fine but I have been super lazy with my exercising routine, So today I was determined to get a good run in.

My lovely day:

1. Worked, even though it was my off day. I left early (6:30am-10:30am)


2. Jogged (trail is 3 miles but because of construction and detour it was ~3.5 miles)

• I finished in 45 minutes. I know that's not mind blowing but the trail I jog has more hills than you can imagine so I'm really getting my work-out on.lol
• Plus I used to do 3 miles in the same time so I've improved :) YEAH!
  

3. Did a little shopping. Got 2 shirts from T.J max (on sale for $10 and $5 ) and a pair of regular blue jeans for $2 from NBC clothing- yes TWO DOLLARS! They're not anything mind blowing but they fit well and are simple enough to pair with something more popping.

They look rather lame but they fit well and they're versatile.


I absolutely love this shirt and for $5, I couldn't pass it up. Pair it with some jeans, leggings, tights, shorts, whatever you want.
This shirt style is the fashion trend right now. It gives off a slouchy yet fashionable look that's popular today. You can play with this and dress it up or down depending on your bottom piece, hair, and accessories.


Also...

4. Went to class (Principles of Marketing) Brought everyone donuts just for fun. Got out of class early at about 7:45PM

5. Updated my blog (How sweet of me) It's time to lay it down...Bye!

Really family, Procrastination can creep into your life very unintentionally. I've dealt with this issue for some time. I'm really focusing on doing what I need to do instead of putting things (i.e exercising, studying, reading the bible, etc) off til a later date. It only hurts in the end. Life doesn't wait on anyone so live everyday to the fullest. I plan to. God Bless.

It has been 18 months of natural hair growing and " I"M SO EXITED...AND I JUST CAN'T HIDE IT".LOL Okay...cornball as usual but really, I flat ironed my tresses and I was even surprised by the results. My hair has grown soooo much. I really hadn't noticed since most of the time it's in raggedy braids, underneath a hat, or just pulled back. Even when it's in a fro it's very hard to tell its growth because of the super tight curls I have. I can't wait until my 2 yr mark. I wonder how long it will be then? Guess I'll try to be patient til that time comes.

I love lips!

4 of myFavorite mac lipsticks: Fleshpot, Viva glam 6,Cherish,and Trimming talk
All are by Mac but bets believe I'm a true believer of drug store product. I also Love NYX and NYC colors.

I even tried my favorite NYC fuchsia color with my Mac "Trimming Talk". You'd be surprised how similar they are. Felt like making a return.lol Oh well, I know to shop around next time.

Fleshpot is discontinued but colors like Creme D'nude and Gel are similar. Enjoy. The colors are so so so much more vibrant than these pictures show. Bye and Be Blessed.

My favorite diva pick: 1st pic: Trimming Talk...Luvs it! 2nd fav everyday pick: Viva glam 6...Must have!

So.... Well, I'm still determined to better my diet and exercise regularly. I've been going jogging (usually 2-3 miles) about three times a week. With my schedule, that's all I can commit to right now. I'm not over-eating and I'm preparing more meals ahead of time so I don't find myself grabbing something at fast food joints. It's going pretty well.

I treated myself to a Chicago-style deep dish pizza because it was my mom's birthday. UMm UMm good. The only sucky thing is that it turned into meals for us for about 3 days since it was so FREAKIN huge:( I have to work extra hard now just to make up for that Monstrous pizza.

The jogging is going well. I have more energy and I know it sounds strange but I'm actually happier and I feel better about myself. Weird, I know, but not really, says some specialists. According to Mark Dombeck, Ph.D at Mental Help.Net, When you exercise regularly, you tone your body and metabolism, regulates stress hormones like cortisol, and promotes the release of endorphins (morphine-like substances that your body naturally releases when you exercise). I encourage everyone get some type of exercise, whether it be jogging, running, walking, bike-riding, etc.. Lets stay strong, live long, and stay happy ;)

Time to get healthy

Hello Bloggers, I've been M.I.A for a while. Here's the deal. Ok. I was thinking about this mega quesadilla meal I got while vacationing in Houston Tx at Chacos (Yum),and my mouth started to water. That got me thinking about an issue I've been avoiding lately. Yes, I Love hair and makeup, but it's been on my mind that health is an issue that is being greatly overshadowed by beauty. So.... I'm on a healthy mission. Mission: Get healthy.lol Simple.... Not necessarily, but I'm determined and a little vain.lol At least I'm honest right? Good things going in has to have not only health benefits but also beauty benefits as well. video coming up soon on the details. If I can do this, which I will, anyone can. Peace for now.XoXo
