CHALLENGE DAY 5

I hate to brag but this challenge is a cake walk!!!! LOL!!!  For the most part I was already committed to not eating these things.  And although I complain, I was drinking water too, just not as much. Even though I am not happy about it, everyday I am drinking more of the water. A

On the same note, but a different tone....... I met with my trainer today, and he worked my ass out!!! I am so looking forward to tomorrow!! Everyday, I am closer to my goal and it feels so good!! I weighed in today and I have officially lost 17lbs!!  I am super proud of myself and very determined too. 

Day 3 (Say no to Skittles)

Challenge day 3......... Ugh!!! As usual that water was my issue but I missed my target. I just couldn't do it today!!

I may never eat another skittle again!! I looked up the nutritional facts and a half bag contains 600 calories. That is near half of the calories I intake daily.  I guess tasting the rainbow comes at a price.

P.H.A.T GIRL FRIDAY

Well once again it is P.H.A.T GIRL FRIDAY!! Although it has been a while, nothing has changed.  Today is the official end of the work week and a time when most of us have a little free time.  For those of you who don't have designated free time.......MAKE SOME!!! It is extremely important that we capture a moment for ourselves because happiness and peace of mind are essential. 

As women, we wear so many hats; mother, mate, friend, teacher, maid, daughter........... All of these hats require us to go in many directions.  Our moods and mannerisms are forced to move back and forth like pieces on a chess board.  It is enough to drive you CRAZY!! Which is why, finding and maintaining your own happiness is key.  Like I always say, "if mama ain't happy....... Ain't nobody happy". 

One great relaxer is girls time.  Get a few of your homegirls together, mix a few "adult drinks" and do whatever(watch movies, listen to music, talk ish, play with hair and make-up......WHATEVER).  One of my new favorite mixed drinks is a pink lemonade vodka made by Wave.  Eventhough it is already mixed, it has a bit of a kick, so I mix it with peach lemonade by calypso........... DELICIOUS!!!!!  After one or two of those, you will be ready for whatever, and I do mean WHATEVER!!! I know it always livens things up.

Any way, enjoy your weekend and be blessed!

GUESS WHO'S BACK?!!?

Hello to all my P.H.A.T GIRLS!! I sure have missed each and every one of you.  I had to take some time to check myself and rededicate myself to my dreams. Well.........CHECK!!!! Now it is back to business as usual.
