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.

Still Truckin' along

Dang it's been a minute since I've blogged...Over a month. I enjoyed the 5 weeks for structured bootcamp. Something about knowing my exact schedule was exactly what I needed. Her meal plans were easy to follow although I didn't follow them on most days. In the end I didn't lose any weight but I lost 3 inches in my thighs and almost 3 inches in my waist so it was worth it to me. The first week without the camp schedule I was totally lost on what to do.....just winging it. At the job, they have opened up a nice fitness wellness center. It's the place to be right now so very overcrowded. My first experience at the beginners Zumba class was horrible.....she was so uncoordinated and appeared to not know her own routine. Yesterday I attended the Bootcamp Training Class and it was GREAT. We jogged, did squats, planks, mountain climbers, high knees and other things that had me sweating my weave out. I loved it. And although I hate to hang around till 6 after work, I think t...

More DVD's

94 days till I'm the big 4-0...YAH! Every since I realized I was 100 days away I've been trying to get in some exercise. Pulled out my tried and true Shaun T doing Hip Hop Abs and also went way back and dusted off Billy Blanks ugly butt and doing his Fitness Bootcamp (which btw is ugh hard). I looked for my Walk Away the Pounds but the darn disc case was empty...with all the moving there's just no telling what happened to it. So today I decided to buy me another....toughter version....man Leslie Sansone has soooo many WATP videos...but do you notice she still thick in the hips and thighs...been walking all these years...lol. Anyway....I can hardly wait for it to arrive. Even been packing my lunch lately....not everyday but better. And my main thing is I haven't ventured to the plaza level for my all-time favorite PayDay candy bar.... I don't even care for candy much....but I absolutely love peanut M&M's and PayDay candy bar....that salt mixed with sugar is t...

It's OK if you have to Walk Away.

Awww remember when you first met? Remember that teenage giddy feeling...remember how you felt when he first said he loved you or vice versa.... but what if you can no longer remember why you're there in the first place, if it's just not working, how can you stay together? Truly. How? I’m seeing this situation in two very close friends of mine and it makes me look at my own situation and evaluate that I’m in a relationship for the right reasons. Your partner does not have to be abusing you or neglecting you or doing or not doing anything in particular. Relationships end. I realize this is NOT the fairy tale we’re made to believe as a growing princess but relationships are hard work, right? I don’t know if I buy that.... love shouldn’t be hard work, love shouldn’t be painful.... and if it is then it’s time to re-evaluate. And when you know it’s over, you are wasting yourself and your time, not to mention your partner and his time when you stick around instead of exposing it for ...
