Boss Diva Fitness

I've always been heavier than my friends...even growing up.....but I've always had a nice shape...good proportioned. Lately I've noticed the droopy stomach.. my belly has always had fat but not that ugly droop that flaps down...ugh. No tightness to it. I know you can't spot lose but I gotta lose it. I gotta do whatever needs to be done to lose it. I spend a great deal of my day reading health news, reading motivational and inspiration stories of weight loss and regaining control of your health. Mainly I do this to stay focused....to always stay thinking of my weight. I'm very conscience of every single morsel I put in my mouth.... whether good or bad. I don't do every thing I should do but I don't eat sweets, I don't eat bread, I hardly eat carbs....I need to exercise more but I'm getting there. I'm proud of the steps that I have taken....but the road is long.... very long.

Start over day AGAIN!! Yep every January 1st I make all these promises and by December 31st I'm wondering what happened AGAIN. This Year is different....lol... yeah I say that every year too. I'm about to turn 40 years old and the few lifestyle changes I have incorporated I hope to strengthen I will continue to read more about healthy eating and the effects on my body. I will have my surgery this year and with that I will get my self together. I WILL LOOK GOOD NAKED....lol. I have chosen to follow the no flour, no sugar diet of Dr. Gott. I don't think it will be that hard but I guess we'll see, won't we. I want to commit to keeping up with my fitness and nutrition journal....last year I was so sporatic with it. but as the year progressed I realized it helped me be accountable to ME. This is only about me and how I feel. I just looked up what I logged at this time last year....found that I weighted 229 which is a 21 pound gain over the year. My bottomline goal is 18...

OMG...I am about to lay my head down and fall out right here on this desk. My energy level is ZERO!! I have been reading alot about maintaining sugar levels to avoid this sluggish feeling that I always get after lunch. Today I broke all the rules and ate a slice of BBQ pizza...loaded down with chicken. It was very good. Now I might have saved a little face if I wouldn't have swung around to the fried food section and grabbed a serving of tater tots. What's so sad is I know I didn't need them and after I made it back to eat them ...they really wasn't that good and was fried too hard. I'm going back to keeping my daily log ..it makes me accountable to mainly myself. I have "creeped" back up to 250lbs and I REFUSE to get any higher. People admire my confidence in my sexy body even at my weight....so before I lose that confidence I got to make changes back to eating healthy and exercising again. My iron has been better this week. I'm going to take advantag...

YAY!!! I'm finally getting set up to have a hysterectomy....and just as I'm turning 40. Why would anyone want to put themselved thru that torture? Cause my body been tortoring me for years!!! I walk around damn near feeling dead and my doctor says 'well go see a oncologist, he'll give you some iron'... so I go and feel better for a minute...then that time of month come around...I lose alot of blood so I go to the ob/gyn because I'm in so much pain and she says 'well lets try this procedure and then go see your primary doc get your pressure under control' Primary doc says well here's you some HBP pills but now your blood low again...better go see the oncologist again....oncologist says wow because your iron is so low, your heart is doing double time...you should see the cardiologist to make sure your heart is fine. .... See I've been on a vicious cycle for years....feeling horrible...not living life to the fullest. So I need this surgery to live.....

  Well since I tried "Mixed Chicks"...I went ahead and checked out KCCC also. Did same procedure... cowashed hair...applied product to small sections at a time while hair is dripping wet...(this is key) Once hair is scrunched and set....stop handling it...too much handling will only cause frizzies when it's dry. As you can see from the photo the results are pretty much the same... there is a slight "sniffness" once hair is completely dry but still soft. Curls are nicely defined. The small jar of this product cost about $17. 

 So at the suggestions of a co-worker who works at a beauty supply store, I decided to try the deep conditioner and the leave-in conditioner for a product line called "Mixed Chick". She brought me a sample pack so since I frequently wash my hair, I tried it the next morning. First the deep conditioner..... smelled great and felt great on my hair. It was an instant detangler...I wasn't even trying to detangle but I noticed my fingers were able to run through immediately. Once out the shower with hair rinsed, I applied the leave-in conditioner. I did not squeeze dry my hair first because in my experience with these products I know your hair should be as wet as possible. The leave-in is almost unscented but a nice thick cream base like I like. My curl definition was immediate. I hate too much shrinkage so i was kinda finger combing the curls straighter....but being a natural tightly coiled sistah it only did so much. Found out later after watching some videos that once appli...
