The day after

So guys I woke up this morning feeling full of energy. I had so many happy, healthy thoughts. I finally felt like I was doing something productive on my journey. I had a huge smile on my face all day and my energy stayed consistent throughout the day.  I think my workout night 1 was a success!!! I do feel a bit sore but I actually like that feeling...weird I know! I like to know where the workout actually worked on. If you don't feel the soreness then you don't really know if your working on anything. (I may have just typed my explanation in a circle hehe, Just like my train of thought).  I decided that with my schedule right now I will continue to workout at night so I can go to sleep tired. Since this is new to me I will keep you posted. I also decided that I am going to try new and creative ways to get a workout in. I don't mind the old fashion way but with our new aged world I think some creativity could be fun. I am willing to try anything (well almost anything) ...

First is the worst!

Ok guys I just got done with my first official workout of the new year. I am sweaty and ready to die but I made it through. I had to make shift with some youtube videos but I feel it got the job done. I will post the videos at the bottom. this is the HOT mess after my first work out! I just wanted to share with my you that I have started my journey and plan on keeping it up. I am not going to give up and knowing I have to follow up with you makes it easier for me.  I am sitting in bed typing this and my arms feel like jello and my legs aren't very pleased with me but it is all worth it.  I will say that I truly love the way your body feels after a workout. Yes it's angry but also very calm in a way. I feel this sense of "ahh" all through my body.  This is short but sweet post. I just wanted to follow up. The challenge has begun!  Below are the links to my workout videos: Stretching Routine: Warm Up Exercises Stability Ball Workout for Beginners - Fi...

Black Coffee

I woke up this morning with chance to make a change. My sister and I had a brief chat about ways to decrease my sugar intake because let me tell you I love sugar. We discussed drinking my coffee black- meaning no sugar (I already stopped using creamer quite some time ago). I thought the idea was do-able and I even thought it was sort of easy.   This morning I woke up and made my regular cup of Joe like I do every morning.  When my warm tasty wake up call was all done brewing I was scavenging for the sugar and couldn't find any. At that moment the conversation with my sister popped in my head and a divine inspiration came through my mind. I thought ok since I can't find the sugar I will try my coffee black, it can't be that bad since I live everyday by the tale end of my next caffeine high. Man was I mistaken. I didn't have my first sip until I was walking to my car in the cold brisk morning. My throat was cold and needed some warming with the wonderful taste of coff...

Happy New Year

  Today is a fresh start to another year. I do believe each year is a clean slate. I have chosen this year to start a blog and create something to release some things in my head. I will cry and fight but also laugh until my side hurts and hopefully find love. Everyday is a blessing and my goal this year is to make sure I live each day as that blessing.  I have been through quite a bit of heartbreak and I know that you can never not have pain but I have chosen this year to guard my heart and remember that I am worth something great.  goals for this year: Continue with school Become financially stable Feel my emotions and don't regret them Have no regrets Learn from my mistakes Find someone to enjoy life with Forgive people from my past Live a healthier lifestyle Read for enjoyment Blog at least once a week Travel Try something that scares me If I can stay on track with all those goals I think this year will be a wonderful year. I want to be 100 perc...
