Lemon water who would have thunk it?

Jump-start Your Metabolism with Lemon Water

Start adding lemon to your water for good health! Lemons are packed with goodness that your body needs.

I have all my clients guzzle 16 ounces of lemon water straight out of the bed. Why? This helps get their engine going by jump-starting their metabolism, digestive system and it cleanses the liver and kidneys. Doing this can help get things rolling in the morning… if you know what I mean. Lemon water also helps with weight loss by keeping the body in an alkaline state. Lemons are high in fiber pectin, which helps keep you full longer. Also, they have a diuretic effect, which helps with water weight gain. Having trouble kicking the pop habit? Try adding lemon to sparkling water.

Here are some additional benefits of lemon water:

• Good source of calcium, citric acid, magnesium and potassium

• Potassium has many benefits, including the nourishment of brain and nerve cells

• Great for cleansing your system of impurities

• Helps with pain and inflammation in joints by dissolving uric acid

• Drink after meals to relieve indigestion problems such as heartburn, belching, bloating

• Helps with gastrointestinal disorders such as constipation, diarrhea, gallstones, kidney stones and pancreatic stones

• Fights sickness with its antibacterial properties that control healthy bacteria

• Helps treat sore throat

• Assists in lowering blood pressure

• Helps with asthma, allergies and respiratory problems

• Treats urinary tract infections because of the diuretic effects

• Great for skin and can be used to treat acne and eczema

NOTE: Drink lemon water through a straw because too much can harm the enamel on your teeth!

With all these benefits, you should not sour on drinking lemon in your water.

I am going to give this a try and see what happens! Wish me luck!

How many kids is too many when dating someone?

I saw this post on facebook and I had to vent on my blog, bc some people dont know how I feel about children...It might be bc I dont have kids and I am at my forever selfish stage . I just dont want to be anyone stepmom or share my time with a child... then I would be all in my feelings if they spent more time with me then with their kids..I would think they are triflin. So either way I wouldnt be happy. And if u have one or more thats money that you we could we spending on doing things together but u cant bc u gotta pay child support, take ur kids to the movies, park, vacation,etc... Plus I would have to deal with other things that would pop up... But a good thing would be if they do have a kid, they may not want me to have one... Naw I bring it back to my statement.no kids at all... I really dont like kids, and I met a guy that had all the qualities in a man that I want they had a child that would be my deal breaker... I HATE children... I really dont think childbirth is beautiful it looks painful and the mother is depressed and uncomtable for almost a year... Your body and hormones are crazy and ur hospital bill is outrageous! I think I would go into a utter depression if I heard the words: Your pregant" Y'all probably think I am crazy. I am just being real and saying how I feel. I am not trying to offend anyone. I just really dont like kids... And I dont like being around them.. So a man with kids would not work for me.an is already a package deal. I dont want to build a future with someone that I would have to stare at their past everyday. I just feel like I if I managed to not have children why should I settle and be with someone that doesnt have what I want. I am done. Lord pray for me. Now I am itching and stuff thinking about this!

April Fitness Challenge Update

Started my April Fit Challenge with a bang!!!!! I think I went too hard today...worked out twice today. I did my 5am workout. I am going into my 3rd week of the BBL... Went to church & promoted my job next big event.... And I just finished my second workout.... I ran 1.64 miles.... I did 20 biceps curls, 70 squats using a 12 lb kettlebell ball... 40 side crunches with a 12 lb medicine ball. 25 bicycles crunches and 75 regular crunches...my stomach, thighs, & legs hurts...lol... I ended the workout with 15 mins in the steam room... I also did the BBL Slim in 6 days food plan. They promise that you will lose 6 pounds and 6 inches in 6 days... I didn't lose that. I am however down a total of 8 pounds and 3 inches. Not bad for working out twice a day for the past 3 weeks.  I am still doing my two a days... After I finish my BBL and bootcamp with King I am going to pull my insanity DVD out the grave and start working on that. I am interested to see what I look like at the end of April or even 6 weeks from now!
