'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.

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 ...
