Vacay From Real Life.... I'm Back!

OK so yes I've been on vacation in the Bahamas for the last week.... and now that i've laid out being lazy, eating whatever i felt like eating -- I can now say 'Damn it's gonna be hard to get back into my exercise and eating right". I mean if this is a lifestyle change, then why was it so easy to take a vacay from eating healthy and staying active. I hate when I have this big ass revelation after the fact....I hate I couldn't convince myself to act right in the first place. But what I realize is this: it's natural to take a mental vacation from the normal routine....I just should have found other ways to do it. It's all about how you make it work. So instead of walking 3 miles.... I should have taken a stroll around the deck. There were plenty of activities such as basketball, powerwalking, and rock climbing; and some I did engaged in such as dancing, walking, and paddle boating. Sometimes when we take a break from our regular fitness routine, we can come back mentally and physically stronger and ready to take on any new athletic challenge.  I don't think your body changes drastically in a 7-day period, but staying on course with your decision to adapt a healthy lifestyle should still be maintained even on vacation just to keep your momentum and mentality in tact.  My hard-earned time working out afforded me some margin of indulgence but it shouldn't have been a free-for-all.  I think I walked away from it all refreshed and ready to tackle a new day.     -Sunshyne Out.

Gray Areas...

I'm experiencing "grey areas" in my life right now. Yes I am still separated and not divorced. Yes I still technically have a live-in boyfriend and a husband. And yes they both want to be a major part of my life. And unfortunately, I want to be a part of both of their lives but realize that can't happen. Initial sparks wear out and reality sets in..... just in my case sparks can go on a long time usually after sexual and emotional connections have gotten way too deep.  Right now I'm taking the time to redefine love in my life. Love means something different to each person. I realize in talking to different friends on a day-to-day basis...that we all view relationships differently.  Some women think that as long as he's a provider, they can put up with anything. To me money is not everything, what about the desire to be in your partner's presence?  What about having that indescribable feeling when you get that hug at the end of the day? What about looking f...

Nothing Going On.....Nothing going down.

Long and short of it....I'm stuck with weight loss. Could be I'm not pushing myself enough...could be I'm still over-portioned....could be my metabolism... Could, Would, Should. UGH. I read alot of blogs and websites boasting people that follow some slight modification for one week and lose over 5lbs....I've never experienced that. Even in the beginning, my loss has never been over 2lbs at a time. Very frustrating because I've made alot of changes in my physical activities and eating habits. I've even helped others with their plan. Ugh. Not discouraged enough to give up but I am discouraged. I just don't want to feel like I have to give up every single thing I enjoy in life. oh well....Sunshyne Out.

My curl exactly!!

Look at this.... I'm hold ing up a strand of my own hair and a strand of weave.... can't tell can you? Nope...this hair is an exact match of my natural hair... No one can ever tell unless I tell them..it's hilarious. I love it because my hair is very thick but not as full as I would like it to be so sometimes I add in a track or two to "help" me out. I've let alot of black grow in....ALOT... lol. And it's darker than the 1b/30 weave... it's been so long since I've seen my roots in their natural stage that I just didn't even realize my hair is really black...not off black... jet black.. I love it. Thought about dying the rest but kinda feeling this.
