Wellness Wednseday - Couch to 5K

 I stepped on the scale this morning and I am happy to announce that I am down to 246.3lbs. That's a total of 8.1lbs since December. I will start my WalkB4URun training which is Black Girls Run version of Couch25K. If you are interested in participating in a BGR event, please check out them out here.

It's been a while since I have been able to run consistently for over 2 miles and the training plan is designed to get me there. I'm still walking at work during my breaks and this week I have included 2lb weights for each hand. I am also doing my monthly detox, however, I have not been as consistent as I should be. I cheated on Monday and today, but I will get back on track tomorrow until the 31st.

I have decided that I would like to weigh 200lbs by the first day of my trip to St. Martin for my 40th birthday. I have until June 21 to get there. By incorporating the WBUR training and a healthy, consistent diet, I can get there. What are your fitness goals to a healthier, lighter you? Until next time....Stay Healthy and Fabulous!!!!

Product Love - Nubian Heritage

Image
A few weeks ago I was sent some bath products from Nubian Heritage from the Pachouli and Buriti line. I was sent the body butter and bar soap. Nubian Heritage is the sister company to Shea Moisture. At first I was apprehensive about about the Pachouli scent because I associate that smell with older ladies and hippies. Not like that's a bad thing, but the older ladies love Pachouli, lol. To my surprise, I actually love this version of the scent. It has a very light and floral smell with small hints of earthy undertones. What I liked most about the soap is how much it lathered for being a moisturizing soap. My skin felt amazing!!!  I could tell the difference between this soap and others I've used before. It moisturized my skin as it cleaned and it wasn't drying on my skin. My skin wasn't extremely dry when I rinsed off. After my shower, I used the body butter. If you have extremely dry skin, this body butter is for you. Once I applied the butter to my skin...it literally...

Travel - Enjoying Houston on a City Pass, Part II

Wrapping up or 2 day stay in Houston and getting the most out of our money with our City Pass, we went to the NASA Space Center and Kemah Boardwalk. The Space Center was really nice and huge. When you first walk in there is a large Angry Birds Space play area for the younger kids who may not be interested in the science of it all, lol. Inside there are so many space shuttle component's and artifacts to see.  There is a reusable engine, inside of a space shuttle command area, Space suits, and so much more. There are information area's set up throughout the center as well as movie theaters and a food court. You can also take a guided Tram Tour to see where people actually work... Yes, this is an actual working NASA Center. How cool is that... After our visit to the Space Center, we went to Kemah Boardwalk, which was nearby. When planning what sites to see, try to plan locations that are near each other that way your not driving all over the place. Kemah Boardwalk is a mini amusem...

Dream Big!!!!

 I'm at a stage in my life where I have so many goals and dream that I want to share with the world...and I don't know where to begin. What I do know is I need to take a leap of faith and just do it. What I know about reaching your goals in life is you need a great support system. People who believe in you more than you believe in yourself. It starts with one single idea, then a plan of action....  Ways to achieve your goal can be as simple or as hard as you would like them to be. I'm no expert, but these are some simple step to help you work toward your goals: Keep a Journal: Write it down. When I have ideas, I write them down and I do my research. I look to the internet and people I know who may have knowledge in my plans. Most of the time reliable people can be your biggest resource, especially if they are just as passionate about the topic as you are. Don't be afraid to ask for help or advice. Surround yourself with positive supporters: This is VERY crucial in he...
