'Yes I Can' in my Obama voice....

I just realized that I'm so much more open to try new things. I think I was just much too comfortable in my fat chick mentality. See people think being fat is just in appearance and clothing size, but I’m here to tell you that being fat is also a mental disability so to speak. It can cripple you into thinking you can’t jump anymore, run anymore, dance anymore, be up front or speak your mind. Now doing those things yes they may hurt more with the extra weight but if you put forth the effort maybe that tiny lift off the ground becomes a full leap…..and that one two step becomes a full dance routine. I hate to even think of how much I said “I can’t” … I can’t walk a mile….I can’t wear that type of outfit….I can’t fit in there….on and on and on…. Now mind you I’m still a big girl….but my mentality is so far ahead of the game….and trust and believe the body won’t be too far behind. I got so many ideas for business ventures, for physical activities, and for helping others and I know I will be better equipped to do that when I am medically healthy enough to endure. Tonight’s workout is 55 minutes of Zumba fitness and I love to dance so instead of taking the modified moves I think tonight I will go up to the advanced moves…..Yes I can. Sunshyne Out.

21 Day Fix - Overview Week 2

Ok my confession first; I didn’t work out much last week…..three days. I let life give me excuses and I used ‘em. I am, however, still eating according to plan for the most part and still dropping pounds and inches. Although this is a 3-week program, I really don’t plan to stop…. since the goal is to adapt to the habits as my normal way of eating I will simply continue. I still give kudos to the program because I was at a major plateau. Although this is simply a program of portion control and timely eating… it’s presented in a way that makes it understandable in a market that is just overwhelmed with "get-skinny-fast" schemes. Tools are provided that helps you to see visually the perfect balance of nutrients to fuel and nourish your body. And you can’t beat a 30 minute but still effective workout. I’ve found that I can even “stray” and still see a drop on the scale. Friday night, I went out to eat my all-time favorite meal of Mexican fare. I almost always order a large...

Knee Up...

Sometimes I don't know if pain/discomfort I'm experiencing is simply weight related or if it's something I really should get checked. I've noticed my knee is constantly irritated. Only my left knee. At Zumba last night I could barely lean to the left while squat/plie. I kinda loosens up toward the end of the hour of aerobic activity but still hurts. Some kicks and such in MMA fitness really twist my knee up..... I was thinking that maybe because I'm not getting up on my toes more that the shoe-to-carpet connection is jarring on my knee but I'm just not sure. Every morning when I jump out of bed I'm limping pretty noticeably and this morning was no different. As the old folks say "Arthur was acting up" ...that is a possibility (arthritis) since it was very irritated during this morning's rainy weather. I guess I will mention it when I go for my regular checkup in a month but for now I'll just keep working it out. ugh.....Sunshyne Out.! (phot...

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...
