Saturday Workout

I ran 2 miles in under 23 minutes today! So I was super excited about that! I just ran today. No lifting or anything. I am going to try to run 2 miles again tomorrow. Hopefully in about a few weeks. I can run 3 miles in under 33 minutes.  I stepped on the scale again and it said that I have lost 10 pounds!!!!!!!!!!!!! As you can see I am excited. I just got 15 more pounds to go for my goal for homecoming AND I am 32 pounds away from my overall goal! Continue to keep me in your prayers and pray that I continue to stay motivated and that I continue to workout like a ninja. I am just so elated right now!!!! All this hard work, will pay off in the end! Bye for now! Until next time people!

me? on a reality show

So I was chatting when a young lady who just recently inked a deal with bravo and she wants to air the lives of single women in STL and since I am new to the city they believed that I would be perfect for the show because I am new and I have no hidden agenda. Now that sounds nice and everything, and I am super doper flatter that I was even offered an opportunity like that but I will have to pass. It is funny because I have been in the city for only 8 days and I have been asked to be on a TV show. lol. Its crazy. But I always analyze and analyze again when it comes to situations like this. It is really cool that I was asked but I really don't want to be on TV. Most importantly I really do not want my life aired on TV where millions can see. We all have skeletons in our closets. But most importantly I look at it like this. What if the network, portrays me in a negative light. There goes my jobs in the future. I am really interested in helping others. I am not really into airing my business for the world to see. Although I have a blog and I blog about what happens in my life. When it comes to relationships I am super doper private. That is between me and my signinfant other. That would include dates, fights, etc... I have always been this way and I always will. So being on a show talking about being single....That is ust not me, I am not your girl. But its still cool to talk about. If the show becomes a big hit, at least I can say I was offered a role/part on the show. lol. Thanks for reading!

Shoutowt to my chapter for being on a promo video

DAY 4 at work/fitness update

Day 4 at the jOB...
So today at the job I went over policy and procedures. It was as exciting as reading any policy and procedure book would be.lol. But something exciting that I did today was play wii with the elderly at a nursing home! I really enjoyed watching them play and I had a good time! So that was a gr8 feeling, mainly because I really enjoy interacting with the elderly population.  Oh, and good news, I got a raised. well all the VISTAS at my job got one. It actually equals up to $30.48 more. Every little bit counts and is very much needed and appreciated. So I am very excited about that!

Fitness Update:
I am really proud of myself today. I ate really healthy and I worked out for over 1 hour today. I ran one mile in 10:20 mins so that was exciting. My goal is by the end of 8 weeks to be able to run 3 miles in under 30 mins.I then did circuit training for the remaining 50-55 minutes. I focused mainly on my bottom half today. I did squats while I lifted a bar as I came up. I did step ups and lifts with two 10 pound weights. I also did lunges, leg extensions, and abductor and the other dictors, chest press,lol. I also did the thingy where you are pushing up with your legs I believe its called a seated leg press. I did about 3 sets of 10-15 of each. I also did a front plank, and side plank on each side.I did pretty good on the front and side planks. I was able to hold on for 43 seconds. My goal for next week is to up it to 60 seconds and in 2 weeks to be able to whole it for 2 minutes, and by the end of 6 weeks to hold it for 5 minutes and by week 8 to be able to hold it for 7 or 8 minutes. I did 80 front crunches. 80 bicycle crunches, and 50 side crunches on each side. I am really proud of myself. Tomorrow I will work on my abs and top half. I am also going to run for another mile and hopefully make it to a group class. If I am unable to do a class. I still want to be able to workout for one hour. I weighed myself on the scale tonight and it said that I am 158... Thats awesome I am now currently down 9 pounds. I can't really see a difference in my clothes or anything. However, I know that will come with time. Last week when I did my final weigh in with my Y-change coach I had lost 7.2 pounds and lost 2 1/2 inches. My goal is to double the amount that I lost with him and and to also double the inches that I lost as well. So far I am doing well becuase I have already lost 2 pounds this week. If I keep at it I will lose  my ideal 25 pounds by Homecoming! Wish me luck and continue to encorage me! Be blessd and as always thank you for reading.

SN. I am saying a special prayer for those in the east coast. Be safe and also place all of your heavy items that could fall and hurt you on the floor! And lastly all of those that are starting school in the fall I wish you a successful school year! Continue to pray for me and my family and that God will bless us and help us financially.

New Book New book

So the other day I bought a new book. Its called Butterfly Rising. It is by Tanya Wright. The author told me that they are actually turning her book into a movie. and it should be coming out next year. So that is cool.  I ma going to stat reading this book. Probably Friday or Saturday. I hope its a good book. It cost me $15.00. I'm just saying.lol. It came with a autograph picture too. The book is only 257 pages. If the book is really interesting. I might be able to finish it in a couple of days. But I will do a mini review on the book and tell you guys what I thought. I think everyone should purchased it anyway mainly because I am a true believer of supporting black businesses. That's all for now. Take care and good night. Below I have attached a picture of the book cover.

Marvin's Room...

I love this song. I know its old, but at first, I always turned this song when it came on the radio. But one day last week, I really listened to the song and I really liked. Below I have the original plus two of my favorite remixed. Enjoy and thank you for stopping by and reading my blog!

Day 3... I am getting better

So today was day 3 at the job. So far so good and a lot of stuff is starting to make sense. I was excited about to doing some direct service today and I REALLY enjoyed that. I also did my first rider registration by myself. So that was pretty cool. The client was really nice and I really enjoyed myself.  I went over the policy and procedure booklet with my boss. Tomorrow I will oversee my clients play wii. So I am excited about that. Also today I finally got to workout. I went to a body and sculpt class and boy oh boy was it intense. my ears were sweating and I am not joking. I also ran about .60 miles today. Tomorrow I am going to run 1 mile on the treadmill and 1 mile on the elliptical tomorrow. I am so going to try the cycling class. My goal is to go the gym at 5am tomorrow. I was not successful this morning. Mainly because I went to bed late last night. So I will try again tomorrow. And maybe later on in the evening if I am up to it. I will go again after work to lift and and do some circuit training. I am going to try to do circuit training everyday. I am so serious about losing 25 pounds by Oct. 15. 2011 and lose 35 poubds by Feb 1, 2012. So far I am down 8 pounds.  I am going to weigh myself again this Friday. Pray that I am down another pound or two. But thanks for reading. I will chat with you all later! Be blessed and good night!

2nd day of work/ new siting

Hello all,
So my second day at work went well. I sometimes felt a bit overwhelmed, but I know that is natural. Mainly because it is my 2nd day at work. I found the gym for me so I am excited about that. I decided on a gym called club fitness so I will be going to that tomorrow morning at 5am! I am a early riser! Also today I attended my first staff meeting and one of my cowrkers showed me how to registar riders so I was super pumped about that becuase I really like direct service. I really enjoy interacting with people. I am a social gal! Ohhh, I am also featured in the newsletter at my job. How awesome is that...VERY. It came with a picture of me and a brief bio of what I do, where I am from, and my interests. So that excited me! Also today one of my roommates showed me around the city! I really enjoyed that. A Soror from the almanaue chapter that I joined down here offered me a free ticket to the greek step show that will be going on down here in a few weeks! What a blessings. I am thinking of possibly being the chapter historian but I am not sure yet. Also I went to walmart and got a pretty nice binder for 75 cents. Thats really not important and I am sure you dont care but I was really pumped. lol. Itr was 75 CENTS!!Also today Virginia had a pretty bad earthquake. Luckly no one I knew was injured or harmed. Well, it is getting late, I just wanted to give you guys a update on how my day went. Have a blessed and productive night and thank you for reading!
