Bye 80's ....... HELLO 70's
So I've been bummed out all week because I hurt my knee and was unable to work out. I've been eating like crazy ..... fyi the fajita rollup at Applebees is delicious ..... and wasnt really expecting anything major when I hit the scale. Boy was I wrong. I woke up this morning and stepped on the scale. The scale said 178.2 lbs. I instantly thought my scale was broken. There was no way in hell that I was in the 170's. So I stepped off and stepped on again .... again the scale said 178.2. I kicked the scale and went to find my tape measure. I measured my waist and found that I am now at a 34 inch waist. I screamed so loud. I'm sure my neighbors wondered what in the hell was wrong with me.
I've done it! I reached the 70s. I'm 3 lbs away from my goal. I'm 3 lbs away from losing 20 lbs! I'm 2 inches away from having a 32 inch waist! I'm so proud of me. What I'm proud of the most is that I did it the RIGHT way. I didnt diet. I didnt pay any outrageous gym fees. I didnt contribute to the billion dollar industry that is the weight-loss industry. That industry fails people every year. I worked hard but I also ate foods that I enjoyed eating. I didnt starve myself and I didnt deprive myself of rice, pasta or restaurants.
I'm really thankful for myfitnesspal. I should be a paid spokeswoman or something lol. Many people ask me how I am losing the weight. I guess they want some miraculous answer but my answer is always simple ... myfitnesspal. I eat 1200 calories a day and I am very conscience about how many calories I am eating, etc. I also like the fact that so many people on there cheer me on. Losing weight can be a struggle. A good support system is needed and that is what I have. By the way, if you sign up ... befriend me :) @ScorpioDiva81 ;)
Anyhoo my initial goal was to be 175 lbs. Now that I am 3 lbs away from meeting that goal I am anxious to set another one. I always said that I did not want to be skinny-skinny but now that I'm losing the weight I feel great. My second goal is 165. Hello 70's ...... 60's I'm coming for you :)

99 and 1/2 just wont do
For some of you interested in power walking, here are a few benefits:
- Heart Health. Daily physical activity can benefit people of all ages. And according to the American Heart Association, low-intensity exercise, such as power walking, can help reduce the risk of coronary heart disease, high blood pressure, peripheral vascular disease, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
- Weight Loss. A 150-pound person, walking at a brisk pace, approximately four mph, for 30 minutes can burn 183 calories. In addition, power walking regularly can help control weight in the mid-body region, where doctors believe excess pounds are the most dangerous. Power walking can also build muscle, which will enable you to burn more calories at rest.
- Mental Health. Studies have found that walking allows the body to release adrenaline and endorphins. Adrenaline plays a key role in your nervous system and in boosting your mood, while endorphins help create a sense of happiness and relieve pain.
- Memory. The Harvard School of Public Health conducted a study that found women who performed a moderate amount of activity 30 minutes a day performed significantly better on cognitive tests (those that involve logical thinking, reasoning, and memory) than women who walked less than one hour per week.
- Bone Health. Power walking is a weight-bearing exercise-meaning the body is working against gravity. (Exercises such as swimming and cycling are generally considered non-weight bearing.) Weight-bearing exercises have been shown to help strengthen bones and reduce the risk of bone diseases such as osteoporosis and osteoarthritis.
- Sleep. As if having a stronger heart, mind, bones, and body aren't enough, power walking can also promote a better night's sleep. A study conducted by the National Sleep Foundation found that low- to moderate-intensity exercise in the afternoon can help deepen sleep in the evening as well as cut the time it takes you to fall asleep.

Attempting to remain positive
I have an attitude. That attitude has me in a negative mind frame. Ughhh that sucks. Especially when I have so many positive accomplishments to share. So I'm going to do like the title and attempt to remain positive. I'm going to post all of my positives and then at the end rant my booty off and talk about that one little negative. Ok? Here goes
Positives:
* I now have a 37 inch waist. I'm down another inch! Yay! I started out with a 40 inch waist and my goal is to have a 32 inch waist(out of danger). I'm 5 more inches away from my target.
* I lost another inch in my left thigh and two more inches in my right. Its melting baby its melting!
*I'm down another 1.7 lbs. I'm now 8 lbs away from my goal weight. My fitnesspal ticker shows that I have lost 12 lbs. I'm so proud of me!
* I successfully completed the green cardio program. I had to stop to catch my breath a couple of times but I did it!
Negative:
Ok here's the thing that's getting on my nerves. In June I dropped 10 lbs. July was such a slow month. I've only lost 2 lbs in the entire month of July. That sucks! It really makes me mad because I'm suppose to lose 2 lbs per week and July had what? 4 weeks? That does not add up. I know July was difficult because I went away twice on vacation and then I had a funky attitude for a week but still. I'm trying to remain positive and say that maybe I'm gaining muscle. We all know muscle weighs more than fat. I mean I am losing inches right? Wrong! I WANNA SEE IT ON THE SCALE TOO DAMNIT! :/ I went to see my doctor last week. I'm suppose to have my first weigh in on Thursday. I was suppose to be 5 lbs lighter. *laughs* We shall see when Thursday gets here but Im not optimistic about that one. So now we're in August. I'm 8 lbs away from my target weight. I can do this! I'm optimistic about that one. I WILL DO THIS!

Look ma ...... NO HANDS!
Anyhoo I'm taking a break from working out because while doing my second hip hop ab workout today I had a major accomplishment. I wouldnt be me if i didnt share it :) You see that picture ... yeah that one up there ..... well I've been working out for a good month and while stretching I've NEVER been able to touch my toes :( I started out at my calf and worked my way down to my ankle. I tried several times to reach my toes and at some point I became like the two fleas that Dwayne Wayne preached about in A Different World. I kind of gave up and just said "Hey you're not flexible ... move on" Today I dont know what happened but I reached for my feet and I WAS ABLE TO TOUCH MY TOES! I bent alllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll the way down. I'm sure that's some type of great yoga position. I mean I was flat LOL
If you cant tell, I am so proud of me. Another accomplishment under my belt .... who cares if its minor. :)
By the way, if you've never seen the flea clip from A Different World here it is. Great clip :)

I SURVIVED New Orleans

Well today is my last day in New Orleans. *sighs* What a "vacation" this has been. I've been tested physically, spiritually and mentally this entire weekend and I'm so proud of me because I SURVIVED!
When I left for New Orleans I knew that I would be tested physically. I even blogged about it. I love cajun food and alcohol and thought that I would be consuming thousands of calories because of it. However I surprised myself. The only thing that I have eaten has been red beans and rice and sausage. I ate a bowl of it this morning and have not had the desire to eat anything since. I've had cups and cups of water ..... and limited alcohol. I've walked everywhere so my exercise has been taken care of. I give myself a pat on the back.
Spiritually and mentally I did not expect to be tested. I really did not. I really thought I'd come to New Orleans, party, and have a great time. That is not what happened. It was drama from the beginning. There was so much drama that I wanted to say eff the 100s of dollars that I spent and just take me home.
I'm the type of person who loves to travel. I travel a lot. I love going to stuff, partying and just having fun. Whenever I go on vacation I enjoy experiencing the city and just having a good time. I personally have a hard time understanding anyone who would come all of the way to New Orleans and want to stay in the hotel and watch television and sleep. Television and sleeping can be done anywhere. I just have a hard time wrapping my head around that concept. I wont go into deal but the drama that I experienced this weekend was uncalled for and very unnecessary. However it was needed in order to grow mentally and spiritually.
A year ago I would not have thought like that. However now I see that sometimes we are forced to experience a little pain, a little drama, shed a few tears in order for us to be elevated. When everything was going on I turned to God and just prayed. It was the craziest prayer and if I were him I would've chuckled at me. I kept saying the same thing over and over but the funny thing is that it worked. It calmed me down. Once I took it to him and left it there, I had a much better day.
So I survived New Orleans. I leave in the morning and I can not wait to come back next year. Til then, its been real Nawlins :)

Bump pain ..... lets talk about the GAIN

Monday was my official weigh in day. I set a biweekly goal on my Wii Fit and met it. I set the same goal, to lose 2 lbs, and went about my day. Well today I weighed in and the Wii Fit and myself were both shocked. I had lost the 2 lbs already. I met my goal in 2 days. I am now officially 10 lbs down and 4 lbs away from saying bye bye to my 80s. I am so excited. I have worked really hard and my hard work is paying off.
I would like to thank all of the people who continue to encourage me on facebook, twitter, myfitnesspal and via text. You all have no idea how much I appreciate your kind words and encouragement.

Inches baby INCHES!

I have just spent about 10 minutes running around my house singing Kanye West's Workout Plan LOL. I know I know ....CRAZY! But I have a good reason. For the past few weeks I have been losing pounds and pounds are good but my waist stayed at 40 inches. I remember reading You On A Diet by Dr Oz and him stressing the importance of losing inches, especially inches around your belly. A 40 inch waist is not only a no-no, its dangerous. A 40 inch waist puts you at risk for high blood pressure, diabetes, and many other health related issues.
So while I was happy to be losing pounds and saying bye bye to the 80s I was still worried about that 40 inch waist. I weigh and measure myself daily and the scale was fine but the tape measure was becoming my enemy. Then something funny happened. The scale has stayed the same for the past few days but the other day when I measured my waist was 39 inches. I nearly cried. Today when I weighed, I was still at 186 pounds BUT my waist was 38 inches. I'm down TWO inches!!!!!! I am so happy. I am looking forward to not only dropping more pounds but MORE INCHES TOO!

How did you get here?
My all time favorite song by Deborah Cox is Nobody's Suppose To Be Here? In the song, for those who are not familiar with Ms Cox, Deborah is asking love how did it find its way back into her heart. She was done with love and somehow it snuck back up on her. So the entire song consists of Ms Cox asking "How did you get here? Nobody's suppose to be here!"
Thats exactly how I feel right now LOL. When I finished my last blog post I was beat. I was so tired and I just knew that I'd be fast asleep by now. WRONG! As soon as I got up from the table a sudden burst of energy blew through me. It was weird. I figured I matter as well take advantage of it and get a little walking in. I thought about hitting the trail but was worried that by the time I got my son dressed, got in the car and drove to the trail, my energy may be gone :/ I didnt want to risk it so I popped in my Leslie Sansone's WALKING away the pounds, 5 mile walk dvd.
I said I'd only do 1 mile. Well as soon as the 1 mile was done a double energy boost hit me and before I knew it I was half way through mile 2. Thats when the burning started. My legs were on fire! I worked through the burn and before I knew it I was on mile 4. Then something crazy happened...the fire spread. My shins, thighs and buttocks were on fire. Now my shins and thighs have burned before(when I first started working out) but my butt has never burned. I so wanted to stop BUT I had come so far. What was the use in doing 4 miles if I wasnt going to see it out and do the entire 5 miles. I did stick it out and completed my 5 miles for the day! Woo hoo!
So thats 2 hip hop ab workouts done today and 5 miles too. I believe my total is at 58 miles done for the summer with 142 more to go! Yay me! Now its time for a shower, dinner and law and order :)

1 down, 6 to go
So today was my weigh in. The last time I weighed in was June 16th which was 5 days ago. I try to weigh in every 2-3 days but the past few days have been very difficult due to PMS issues. I really didnt want to weigh in because I was afraid of what the scale would say. Well today I did and I'm down another pound. Thats excellent considering the weekend that I had...lunch at Lee Roy Selmons(one of my favs) and dinner at Red Lobster. So that brings me almost to the midway point in the 80's and motivates me even more. My dream is right in front of me and all I have to do is snatch in. 6 more pounds and I'll be saying bye to the 80s and hello to the 70s. I'm about to cry just thinking about it.
As promised I have done two workouts per day this week in addition to my 5 mile walk. Yesterday was easy but today was killer. First of all I woke up and felt like crap .... sick crap + emotional crap. All I wanted to do was stay in the bed. I had NO appetite at all but I forced myself to eat a bowl of hot oatmeal and drink 8 oz of orange juice. I figured as long as I stayed in the house I'd stay being crappy so me and the kid went to the beach. Awwww it was so relaxing. I was under a pavillion reading a book while the wind blew. Had it not been for me having to workout I would've stayed out there forever. I was soooo relaxed ... maybe too relaxed because doing my hip hop abs today was a challenge. I had ZERO energy. I'm proud of me because I made it through both and 60 minutes of high impact cardio! :) Go me Go me!
Now I am just exhausted and have decided that my 5 miles just will not get done today :( It hurts me to make that decision but I am honestly about to fall asleep as I type this so imagine me after I've showered and eaten dinner. I'm going to be out like a baby. lol

Weekly Review

Well I did it ..... I completed another week. There has been so much on my mind that I've wanted to blog about and couldnt due to lack of time. I decided tonight that before I did anything else I would at least blog about my week. So as I sit funky from tonight's workout I have a smile on my face. Its been a trying week but I MADE IT! *cues Kirk Franklin*
This week started off BAD. I had such a bad attitude at the beginning of the week. I woke up in pain, tired, bloated and irritable. When I stepped on the scale I had gained 4 lbs. I knew this was wrong. It takes 3200 calories to gain a single pound and I had been struggling to consume 1200. It didnt take long for me to realize that I was PMS'ing and that put me in a real funk. Someone on myfitnesspal.com suggested that I take pamprin and increase my water input to 8-10 cups a day. I did and it worked! I'm still a little tired and irritable but my bloated belly is no more! When I weighed in last night I had actually lost weight ..... bring my total weight loss down to 7.4 lbs! I almost cried .... yeah I'm a cry baby. I have 7 lbs to go before I'm writing a post saying bye bye to the 80s. I cant wait.
Food wise I did great this week. I cooked and perfected a chicken stir fry at the beginning of the week. I could totally eat that every single day and not get tired of it...thats just how delicious it was. My goal is to post the recipe on here ... when I get time :/ My second meal of the week was a veggie lasagna. I'm trying to introduce a new veggie and fruit into my diet biweekly. This week's veggie was eggplant and the fruit was apricot. Eggplant to me is beautiful and I've heard such wonderful things about it. However I personally do not like it. I'm willing to give it another try but in the lasagna it was not tasty. I think I'd rather stick with zucchini and squash. I had the apricot today and it reminded me of a sour peach. Yeah I didnt care for that either. The good news is that my son loved the apricot so they will not go to waste :)
The one thing that I noticed this week and am very proud of is that my stomach/body has adjusted and I now do not have to eat so much. I get full off of one cup of rice, pasta, cereal, etc. The real shocker came this afternoon when I went to Applebees and ordered a burger. I could only eat half of the burger because I was so full. That has never happened before. Honestly I didnt know whether I should be happy or sad. That was one of the best burgers ever and I couldnt even finish it off. :/
Exercise wise I did good. Shaun T kicked my ass this week. He has been babying me with the Fat burn cardio but this week I did the total body burn and lets just say me and shaun arent on the best of terms. My entire body hurts .... but thats ok. I know next week when I weigh in, I'll reap the rewards :)
I'm looking forward to next week. I've been doing this plan for 15 days and am down 7.4 lbs. At this rate I should be at my goal weight by the time I return to work. Watch out now .... team 30 and FAB in full effect ;)

Bye 90's ...................... HELLO 80's

I really do not know where to begin with this post. I'm really emotional so I'm sure I'm going to be all over the place but here goes.
I have been 190-ish for as long as I can remember. At my largest I was 199 .... a mere 1 lb away from being 200. Last year when I did Insanity I lost inches but pound wise I was stuck at 192...thats as far as I made it. My goal was always to get out of the 90s and quite frankly I never thought I'd make it.
So with this new journey I have been setting mini-goals via the Wii Fit. Nothing major...2 pounds here, 2 pounds there. I achieved the first goal and really didnt think anything of it since the goal was 190 ..... STILL in the freakin 90s :( So then it came to the second goal.... I did two pounds again which would take me to 188 and OUT of the 90s. Today I got on the Wii fit to have a little fun and work on my balance. During the weigh in I noticed that my weight was 189.6. I never would have expected to have the reaction that I did ...... I literally broke down into tears. Even as I type this I feel the tears coming again LOL. I DID IT!!!!!!!! I did what deep down I really did not think I could do. I'm out out of the 90s LOL. My goal has to be met by Wednesday and I have 1.6 pounds to go. I am so motivated. So out with the old and in with the new. Bye bye 90s.....you sucked anyway :) HELLO 80s and 70's I have my EYE on YOU!

9 lbs!

When I started this process 30 days ago I had hit my biggest....I weighed in at 200 lbs. My entire life I've said that as long as I was one-something I was fine but that I'd nearly faint if I ever reached 2. Well I reached it. I was shocked. Where the hell did all of this weight come from? But I am proud to say that I now weigh 191 lbs! I'm down 9 lbs!!!
Now I know some people *cough*HATERS*cough* lol are going to say that's it? But I wanna share a lesson on pounds that I've learned while on this challenge. 1 pound of body fat is equivalent to 4 sticks of butter. Think about that and go and vomit LOL I surely did! So the fact that I've lost 9 lbs which is equivalent to 36, count em 36 sticks of butter. 36 sticks of butter OFF of my body! I am so happy
I think that I appreciate these 9 lbs because I know that I've worked soooooooo hard to achieve it. I didnt take any pills! I didnt have surgery! I'm not knocking anyone who has done those things but I did this the old fashioned way....with hard work! And say what you wanna say but I'm proud of me! I still had cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory and etc and STILL lost 9 lbs! I have 30 days left and guess what..........I'm looking forward to losing 9 more! Woop Woop!
Thanks for all of your support

Another Fit Test--3
So today makes 28 days since I began my journey! Dont ask me why I'm so excited about day 28 but I AM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Today was my third fit test. I was excited because I wanted to know if I was going to improve any but scared at the same time because I knew that I had done a major workout yesterday and was unsure how my body would react. Anyhoo here are my results:
Switchkicks:
3rd fit test-82 2nd fit test-70 1st fit test-52
WOW!!!! 82 switchkicks! I was so shocked when I wrote that number down. I had no idea how many I had done on the first or second but I knew it was no where near 82. While doing the switchkicks I played TI and I did them for the entire time. Amazing! Can we say major improvements????!!!!??? lol
PowerJacks:
3rd Fit test-27 2nd fit test-30 1st fit test-20
I was so disappointed when I saw this. I knew while doing it that I would not be beating my score from the 2nd fit test. I wanna blame it on my switchkicks and using my energy to do those but hey NO EXCUSES! *pouts* I can only say that I am to do better....do more the next time.
PowerKnees:
3rd fit test-50 2nd fit test-45 1st fit test-30
So I sucked at the power jacks BUT I came back strong with the power knees! Yippee! Look at my results from the first test to the third test......20 more power knees! That's great! *pats self on back* ;0)
PowerJumps:
3rd fit test-20 2nd fit test-13 1st fit test-12
First and foremost I have to tell you what a power jump is so that you can be amazed at how well I did lol A power jump is when you jump in the air bringing your knees up to meet your elbows. Your ENTIRE body is coming up off the ground and its done after doing three other exercises. I was shocked on test 1 when I was able to do 12 so imagine me now...........I'm at 20! 8 more! Go me, go me!
From here on out I'm sucking LMBO!
Globe Jumps:
3rd fit test-4 2nd fit test-4 1st fit test-2
So I stayed the same...it was slightly disappointing. Once again I can just aim to be better the next time. :0)
Suicide jumps
3rd fit test-0 2nd fit test-0 1st fit test-0
Well at least I'm consistent right LMBO! I can not do a suicide jump! Sorry! I cannot do a pushup! My "goal" is to learn to do ONE before my 60 days are up. Hey I'm realistic....I'm just "not" there yet.
Pushup jacks
3rd fit test-0 2nd fit test-0 1st fit test-0
Pushup jacks is the same thing that happened with suicide jumps!
Here's my video for tonight. Thanks for all of the support

Musical Inspiration
So from my last video you can tell that I listened to my IPOD the entire time tonight while working out. That is a strategy that definitely worked! The reason that I wanted to blog about it is because the entire experience was so crazy. As soon as I began the workout I put my Ipod on shuffle and just waited. Well the first song that came on was Motivation by TI<------*side eye* I mean seriously was somebody somewhere trying to tell me something? lol I listened to it twice because as TI rapped I worked my behind off...I completed more than what I was suppose to do for each interval and the pain that normally makes me take a break did not faze me at all tonight. It was a great way to begin my workout because I truly was motivated!
Motivation
fakin' only gonna inspire (Motivation)
All yo hatin' is fuel to my fire (It's motivation)
plottin' on the crown soft droppin' (It's motivation)
Hey but I ain't slowin' down and I ain't stoppin' (Motivation)
Now you don't stop my show (Motivation)
You ain't know I don't stop, I go (It's motivation)
Sucka can't make me suffer
Just make me stronger and make me tougher (It's motivation)
Right after motivation went off freakin Beyonce came on. Now I know I say ish about Beyonce all of the time but I love Bey and her music will definitely have you crunk. But it was so funny because Diva or Ego or Single Ladies did not come on...........freaking Ring the Alarm came on LMBO! Now Ring The Alarm is the type of song that makes you angry and that's exactly what happened....I was mad and singing along with Bey and found myself working out harder...Dont ask me why the hell I was so mad but I was....I dont even wanna know why I was mad....I'm just happy that by the time Beyonce went off, sweat was literally pouring off of my body and I had finished my entire bottle of water and was desperately in need of a refill lol
Ring the alarm
I been through this too long
But I'll be damned if I see another chick on your arm
Won't you ring the alarm?
I been through this too long
But I'll be damned if I see another chick on your arm
After Beyonce came Mary J Blige...her song??? I am! This was followed by Mary J's The One.......................every song just made me work harder and harder so it was no surprise when I look at the screen and realize that Shaun T is done with his workout and preparing the stretch and I'm at home wanting more and booty poppin to Lady Gaga! LOL I've never had that much energy in my life!
So the IPOD definitely has to become a staple in my workout routine. I'm actually looking forward to working out tomorrow and the pain that I've felt for the past 2 weeks....................not feeling it tonight! Woop Woop!
Time for bed
