detoxing
The Thanksgiving holiday is finally over and I’ve embarked on the month of December. I’ve been thinking about all the food I’ve eaten the past couple of weeks and I feel disgusting! I love food, but I know I haven’t detoxed in some time, and I just really need to complete a juice fast….so I think I’ll start next week… Wish me luck!
blessed
As the month of December rolls around, I can’t help but feel extremely blessed! There have been several ups and downs this year, but I know everything has happened for a reason and I’ve grown significantly because of it. My goal is to continue to push forward and allow myself to receive the additional blessings God has in store! In other words, I won’t get in my own way.
reconnecting
Recently, I discovered some of my family on Facebook and yesterday, I initiated the first steps to reconnecting with them. I always find it so interesting how you can live so close to someone, be related to them but walk right by them if they passed you on the streets. It’s true that most people grow up closer to their mother’s side and never really know their father’s side until they are in college or much worse; past 30, like myself. I remember meeting some of them when I was little, before all of my grandfathers brothers started dying, but like any relationship that isn’t nurtured, we lost touch. I’m excited and nervous about meeting them again, because as we all know, family can be “special” at times but I think its important no matter when you reconnect to always remember that you are family and that’s truly all that matters.

hot 2 def…
Yesterday me and 2 of my girlfriends hit up a Bikram yoga class in Alexandria. I’ve tried to get to this class for sometime now and I finally had time in my schedule to make it happen! My friends and I were thinking it would be easy, but being that the room is 105 degrees the heat alone is hard to get past and performing 26 postures in a room hot as hell, really burns you out. I have never sweated so much or eaten and drank so much after a workout in my life! Needless to say I was exhausted yesterday night, and this morning..
If you are looking for something that will help strengthen and tone your muscles, and help your flexibility without much impact, I would definitely recommend you try it at least once. I’m going to make it a Sunday routine!
amazing!
Just 6 weeks after dropping baby #4, Heidi Klum walked the runway last night at the Victoria Secrets Fashion Show. Although, she was only scheduled to host, she decided to strut her post baby body for the entire world to see and I must say, she’s amazing! She will forever be my idol, because not many women drop their pregnancy weight so quickly. Although she claims to still have 20 lbs to lose, she looks great and women everywhere are sitting around using their pregnancies as an excuse as to why they can’t/haven’t attempted to lose weight! As I digress….
I’ve included a link below to more pictures of last nights event… ENJOY!

clone me
Around the holidays my schedule gets even more ridiculous than it already
is. I get invited to more gatherings and I feel like I have less and less time for myself. I LOVE this time of year and celebrating with people, I just struggle with what I should attend and what I shouldn’t. This coming weekend is my husbands birthday, and on top of that, I’ve been invited to 3 separate events. Due to time constraints I’m going to miss all of them but my god daughter’s birthday party! You only turn 5 once..:o)
I’m looking forward to December but my weekends are already booked for the month.. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a clone to get you through the Thanksgiving, and Christmas seasons??
marathon, maybe?
My coworker Tracie, tapped me to be her running buddy to help her train for her Disney Marathon. I agreed because I really need to get back on my old running routine and those long runs can be torturous without someone to run with. This past saturday we ran 12 miles without stopping and I honestly haven’t ran more than 10 miles in over a year. Although I had to sit in ice for 20 minutes when I got home, I felt good about the run. It made me think whether I should be training for a marathon as well? I don’t want to register for one because that to me makes the running stressful, but since I am doing the training, if one comes up I just might do it. I don’t know, we’ll see…
go for broke
I am in NO way a relationship expert, I’ve only had 3, my marriage being the last, but I really think it’s time men and women start living and going for what they want! This thought came about yesterday after chatting with 2 of my best friends, When you meet a guy and exchange numbers, is there something that says you can’t text or call him first? I’m old school so I do believe that a man should pursue a woman, but there is nothing that says a woman can’t make the first move. Life is so short and to be honest none of us are getting any younger so it’s important in my opinion to express yourself and never regret anything that made you smile!
If you aren’t happy in a situation, get the courage and strength you need to get happy! Life is ALL about choices, and not matter what choice you make there is something to be learned from it. If you get knocked down, dust yourself off, get up and try again. I made a promise to myself on my birthday that I was going to acheive anything and get everything I wanted from now on.. I think we should all go for broke and make our desires a reality. Why not?

We doin it big
Look at what I done
Look at where I’m is
It’s only just begun
Cause I was staying home
When they was having fun
So please don’t be surprised when they announce that I won
And this is how my speech goes
I deserve this shit, I deserve this shit, I deserve this shit
That’s all I got to say, at the top is where I stay
And tell my haters never go away
The Winner
