Low Carbing: Shedding The Pounds Before the 3-2 Bash

February marks my 32nd birthday and I am not stepping further into my 30's out of shape. I was exercising plenty over the summer but financial woes caused me to step away and work a PT gig in addition to my FT gig (a seven day work week).
The last time I tried to work out, my body began to shake and I collapsed on the couch. Basically, too much work, too little sleep= no working out for me.
HOWEVER, there is no better time to eat healthy. If I can't work out I need to pay close attention to what goes in since I can't work it off.
Today starts my hard core low carbing section of my blog.

Breakfast: 4 Turkey Bacon Strips and 3 sunny side up eggs.
Lunch: salad topped with warm grilled chicken (a drop of dressing)
Dinner: Chicken legs and asparagus

I will do weigh ins each week.

The goal? 15lbs down by Feb. God help me over the holidays.

    Remember love that diets don't work...its all about lifestyle change... low hanging fruit are dropping soda's and processed foods. Not all carbs are bad and you need some for your body to operate properly. Try eating more fruit and veggies and WATER...LOTS OF IT!!! Regarding exercise... do what u can...be it walking around your complex at first...or up and down stairs...ANYTHING until you are at a place where u can do more..just START.... any progress is PROGRESS...baby steps are still STEPS!!

And I Am Telling You... Breaking Up Is Hard To Do!

Dreamgirls was a successful Broadway play for years. It even made it's way to the big screen in 2006. Original headliners of the staged version included then little known Loretta Divine and now long forgotten Jennifer Holliday. Watching the performance of the then robust and popular Holliday allowed me to witness her successful portrayal of the scorned character Effie White. In a passionate performance she screamed, sobbed and belted the lyrics of "And I Am Telling You, I'm Not Going" in such a way that years later many have made a valiant effort to match her vocal bravado in singing the same song. Of those attempts, most have fallen far from the mark. With this knowledge, I wondered why was it that Jennifer Hollidays career didn't move much further beyond her Dreamgirls fame. Upon doing a bit of google research ( not the most reliable, but definitely the most convenient) I have found several theories as to why Jennifer Holiday's career came to a standstill...

Good Morning Heartache....

When I was about 14 my mother gave me a book called "Good Morning Holy Spirit". It was a Christian book that was aimed to keep believers in tune with God. It encouraged the reader to wake up each morning and greet God, allowing Him to play a role in your life each day. I still try to do that. Recently, I realized that another part of my life that I can certainly do without is heartache. Getting married and going through the motions of a divorce gives way to feelings that are far from pleasant. It's stressful, it's emotionally draining and it hurts like the dickens. With all of these aches and pains I still press on with my decision to end my marriage. My husband understands. For the first time last night, I poured my heart out to him, sobbed and expressed my pain. I told him that I loved him, but I could never be with him again. I admitted that I don't know how to be his wife. I admitted that I am petrified of being a single parent to two girls. I mourn...

K-Ci & Jo-Jo Come Clean.... : REVIEW

When I heard that K-Ci and Jo-Jo were coming out with a reality show documenting their experience going through rehab, I was excited. The first thing I wanted to know was which one was K-Ci and which one was Jo-Jo (yes, it has been that long since I have seen let alone heard of them since highschool). I always loved Jodeci and when the two lead singers of the group branched off and made a few ballads I looked forward to hearing more, but more never came. Years passed by and I continued to play their hits and came to terms with the fact that this group was never going to reunite and the two brothers whose vocals lead the group to super stardom with were coked up and out for the count. Enter K-Ci and Jo-Jo: Coming Clean. I figured they were going to finally boot the snow blizzard that packed their nostrils. WRONG. They are kicking the alcohol habit. They claim that there was never a drug problem. We all have heard otherwise, but they insist. If moscato can turn me into what these t...
