Boss Diva Fitness

BANG!...And she's off ... I love Mondays because I'm always off to a good start. Started my day with a short 20 minute workout on elliptical/bike....made my first green smoothie with kale, banana, and green apple.Pretty good for my first. Still researching for tips and such. Energy level straight today so far. And plan to have a garden salad served with some turkey breast that i baked yesterday. Doing a 30 day challenge with my daughter to be consistent with cardio activity for 30 minutes per day average. We shall see... Sunshyne Out .

Well not really ..... but I joined WW360 on yesterday. I'm super duper excited. It's funny how God will put someone in your path to give you confirmation of something you been debating to do and then for this person to truly help you in that endeavor. I really appreciate good people surrounding me. I hope I help the lives I touch each day too. So me and my coworker just talked about it one minute and jumped online and signed up the next minute. Just like THAT!!!! BahZing! We had no plan, no clue....but even in the first day we were calling each other with new revelations that we read.....vowing to be accountable to each. I quickly realized after lunch that all those small "meaningless" morsels that I been popping in my mouth are big contributors to my plateau. I tried to blame it on the winter blues and being less active during this time and yes I'm sure that plays a factor but I'm now taking a long hard look at every little bite that I take and oh Lord Jes...

BOSS FIT DIVAS recently participated in the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital Give.Thanks.Walk campaign.  More than 30,000 supporters of St. Jude walked in the fourth annual event.  St. Jude Give thanks. Walk. is a 5K held in 90 communities across the community. Walkers take pledges and help raise money for the kids of St. Jude.We designed the T-shirts and had a blast wearing them throughout the campaign to raise awareness and money for St. Jude.

The Divas are at it again. Successful Girls Night Out showcasing and supporting some local women-owned businesses. We had Scentsy by KimDarby, Gena's Toy Shoppe, Aminah's Amazing Jewelry and Sassy Marie's Assessories. Plenty of girlfriend chatter and good fellowship.  

It's going to be soooo nice when going on vacation don't mean stopping all efforts at taking care of my fitness. Since I was leaving on a Friday morning....I skipped all workouts Monday-Thursday to tidy up loose ends....last minute items, packing, extra cleaning.... then of course since there is no cooking (and preparing) while on vacay, we ate comfort food for SEVEN (7) days straight....plus alcohol....alot of alcohol. Then when I return, I get sick and down for an additional week. I just wish..being fit was more apart of my everyday life... without thinking....natural state. I shouldn't even want that extra piece of fried chicken knowing the effect it will have on my body. There is a consequence for every action....and I should want to protect the work I've already invested in my body. I have to make a conscience effort at all time. There's no ifs, ands or buts about it. This will always be a part of me. My fitness goals whether I'm trying to lose or trying to...

As I mark off the days to my sisterhood vacation week/cruise, I'm really now focused on my dietary intake. It feels really satisfying to see my daughter make an effort. Don't know if it's me nagging or seeing my practices continue for a long period of time or if she just see that she wants to improve her own body....whatever got her on board..I'm grateful. To me the more my immediate family can jump on board the better. The garage is all set up for weight training....and since my bedroom is away from everyone else ...I can do floorwork without distractions. I Just feel all the components are getting much easier for me to live the lifestyle I want....it's all on me. I have no excuses....so I don't offer any excuses. Feeling good about me getting better. Today I'm getting back on my hormones.....some folks say I've been a lil bitchy.....lol....We'll see how that goes. Sunshyne Out.

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...
