Spot the Block!!

Neutrals

[youtube http://youtu.be/unlhHbpukt8] All my cartoon lovers might remember that goody! It's a silly song but they're telling the truth. All the exercise in the world wont get you 100% results if your eating habits are bad. I know I'm guilty of grabbing a snack or fixing a plate full of food then stuffing (more like OVER-stuffing) my face.until I'm no longer hungry. Prime example- you grab a bottle of soda, juice or even one of those yummy Naked smoothies and down the whole thing. However if you had've "spot the block" before that, you'd see that only 8oz (about half the bottle) is the proper serving size. The issue is a lot of use are on the "see food" diet -we see food, we eat it. We're full but why waste…

#Motivation

Neutrals

Every now & then many of us get a lil un-enthuzed on the road to health and fitness. Whether your body isn't changing fast enough for your liking or perhaps you've hit a plateau -we sometimes get discouraged to continue the journey. Well one of my fit-spirations, @FollowTheLita took it upon her self to help us out & kick us out of our funk! Excellence Over Good If you stop when you’re satisfied with good you may never know what excellence feels like. Sometimes a little accomplishment distracts us from excellence!

Like many of you, I made it a goal of mine (not gonna call it a new years resolution cause I started my journey in November) to get fit & have the hot body I always dreamed of! Not jus for spring break, not jus for summer, I wanna be hot year round! I will admit I've fallen off the wagon more times than I can count -sugar & junk food are usually my demise- but that's okay!

Personal Growth pt.2

Pinks

contributed by Kaii In a previous article from 2012 I wrote these words: “My definition of personal growth consists of finding out who you really are and the person you are destined to become. It’s not easy to do of course and this definitely takes time. In order to experience personal growth you will find that some people in your life will be left behind. Not everyone will want to grow up and put childish things aside, this is where you must separate yourself in order to find yourself. Your road to success should involve only those who desire to be successful as well. People who deal with drama, hate, and negative attitudes should be politely dismissed from your social atmosphere. God did not create us in a package,…

Verity Reign Says . . .

Pinks

Every now & then in my social media perusing I find a post that is so TRUTHFUL that I jus have to share it! This is one of those posts! Check out the latest from Verity Reign Pet Peeve: Friends Who Constantly Cry About Mr. Wrong but Never Leave Him! Okay, I'm not one with an unusually long list of pet peeves. Even when certain things (like smacking your food all up in my ear) annoy me, I'm pretty good at ignoring them and faking a convincing, wide smile as if all is well. One thing, however, that I cannot tolerate, is when women stay with trifling, good for nothing men and then call their BFF to complain about and weep over them! Jesus, take the wheel! Though Mary sings about the…

Weight Loss Failures and Success: Part V

Neutrals

Hey yall!! I am so close to my weight loss goal I can taste it! Here are this week's tips to losing weight the healthy way and keeping those unwanted pounds off for good. Again, these are things that I have done and they have worked wonderfully for me this past year. I know it is not going to be easy, but if you can begin to implement these changes into your lifestyle, I promise you will begin to notice the results. 1.) Drink at least 6-8 8oz. cups of water a day. I recommend getting a container that holds 32oz and striving to drink one a day and eventually work your way up to two a day. A lot of times our bodies mistake thirstiness for hunger and that causes…

Weight Loss Failures and Success: Part IV

Neutrals

Weight Loss Success!!Ok, so I know you have heard enough of what did NOT work for me on my weight loss journey. Now it is time for me to let you know what has worked for the last year! This is the first time in my life that I have been able to keep weight off for this long and I finally realized why I have been able to do so. It is because this whole weight loss thing has to be a LIFESTYLE change. I finally realized that I can not just "diet" because diets are something that you are on and off. I knew that in order for me to maintain the weight loss (and eventually reach my goal weight) I had to make changes with the way I live my life. So with…
