Straight up now tell me!

Spring is upon us - what a joy! But I'm not feeling so joyous about this upcoming weather change. Let me tell you why. During the latent hibernating months, I was on a mission to workout super hard. Unfortunately, I sat working aside and as the dust clears I'm pushed to go again. Thanks to 007 (my beau) he encourages me, creates workout plans, and suggest awesome reading material for me. Not to mention I just received a treadmill at my place for free! No excuses at this point. I must get ready for summer for goodness sake, I'm a summer baby; I have to be sexified during those months. Okay so when does the conversation turn into action? Now! No, I'm serious - no BS. When you are sick and tired of being sick and tired you take the insane route and just run head first with your arms up screaming at the top of your lungs like spongebob "I'm Ready, I'm Ready!" Maybe I'm a little dramatic but the jig is up -there's no short cuts, becoming fit is a combination of dieting, detoxing, monitoring your eating habits, creating new ones, and the last one (drum roll please) EXERCISING. The thing we all love to avoid. Well, let me just tell you. There's no getting around it - I tried. I remember so vividly during my junior yr at Winston-Salem State University living in these really nice apartments that had a club house with pool access, theater room, and gym. I actually lived directly across the street from it so there was no excuses for me to walk over to use the facility. Well long story short, I worked out (minimum 30 mins on the treadmill) twice a day morning and night. When I say that I was not only my healthiest but I was at a great healthy weight. I didn't look "sick". I just looked very healthy. My point is this - I know how it feels to shed that extra weight that you don't need and it turns your whole life around.

Because I can't go back in time and grab that body back, it's time to put in some work. Thanks to 007, I am now reading "Super Shred" by Dr. Ian Smith. (Yes, I just skipped the first book and went straight to Super Shred) I purchased the book from walmart and after reading a few pages I was sold. I also read plenty of the testimonials on Amazon as well. With this particular book, it all boils down to sticking with your meals and the times you eat in conjunction to working out. What I love about the layout of Super Shred is how it gives you your grocery list and suggested items to buy then it goes into what times you need to be eating etc. I haven't quite finished reading it - actually I'm nowhere near finished but you "multiple book readers" know how that goes. With the exception of my school-related text books, Super Shred will be my primary literary choice of text because I have to get it in by any means necessary. There's not an excuse I could possibly render at this time that should keep me away from challenging myself to commit to a healthier way of living. Last year I wasn't eating as much meat as I'm consuming now to the point people were thinking I was vegetarian. Bottom line, I've got to get back in the habit of making correct choices and create the time to prepare the meals I need to eat.

I'll be following up to update progress while I'm going through these 4 weeks. Good thing is, I won't be doing this alone which is key! I have a good friend joining in and I am sure this will help the both of us with motivation. Our main excuse (which is probably yours as well) is "we don't have time". As busy busy business women, we don't have time! We don't have time to fall into a slight depression due to low self esteem. I'm telling you, I have been there. We've had our moments but no matter what is going on in our business world, if we are working towards a healthy body then that's going to put you, me, and anyone else in a healthy state of mind which in essence will reflect a healthy business and brand!

Thus, creating time is just a matter of rearranging and rescheduling and strategically planning out your day to include a workout and time to properly eat multiple times a day. It won't be easy but it will be worth it (at least that's what I read from the testimonies).

Until next time,

Religious freaks are the worst. I'm all for not stirring the controversy pot when it comes to two things: PoliTRICKS & Religion. But when psycho pseudo-religious individuals are all up in your face turning their nose up to culture, that's when it becomes sickening. I mean really? I admit, i can play a hand of politics here and there if need be but that's not my arena but religion - you can count me out of some of those spells. Why is it that an atheist can respect everyone but not everyone can respect an atheist? I actually know quite a few atheist. LOVE them to life because they know what it is and not afraid of you super religious freaks always defending your deity. You look silly! As harsh as it sounds, yeah and I know how it's sounding but people think they are "doing something" really ain't doing nothing. Ya'll be knowing right? Even if we look out on a cosmic level, a lot of our planets are retrograding left and right and we all know what retrograde means. It doesn't mean be fearful or superstitious, it means be aware. Well guess what? We are still dealing with a lot of Eyes wide shut and please believe me that the terms consciousness, and awareness are just merely terms; especially if there's no true work being brought up to put behind it. You cannot fake an awakening, you cannot fake like there's elevation happening because you will get tested. So what does this test consist of you ask? Your guess is as good as mines but trust there's always a test as long as you are taking up space on this planet. You don't really think you live "rent-free" aye?

To my fellow light bringers and dark matter warriors, we're through the tunnel, this is just a new world and to know folks are still loving the illusions comes with the territory but who are we to be mad? Although, It's natural to get mad but as soon as that feeling approach, i too must remember when i was loving the illusion.  ;-)
