Starting over... again

Hey ya'll. It's been a while.  Like 7 years or something crazy.  7 years I've spent becoming an adult, and finally understanding that old saying "you're always learning".  Little did I know just how true that statement really is.  In the most cliche way ever.   Not going to get into it now, but I'm sure eventually all the happenings and life that have occurred will come out in one way or another. So you may be thinking... why come back now?  weeeellllllllll, its time.  I'm finally in a mental space where I know the importance of being healthy, and I want to do the work.  I wanted it before, but in a very superficial way.  Now,  it's about goals and ain't nobody trying to be out of breath when they are on thier GRIND. I'm taking a look back at my weight journey and the many ups and downs and ups... and ups...  and ups...  to see what I did when I was actually working at losing weight.  When I was being intentional.  Then I sat down and

Chef time!

Hear ye hear ye... bring me all ye recipes that are low carb low sugar and delicious! Seriously.. bring em.  Some things will never change, like my constant need to stop spending eating out!   One meal in particular always has room for improvement... and that's breakfast.  I love eggs. I love to eat eggs.  The problem comes in finding different ways to eat eggs.  Over the weekend I tried this recipe for  Sausage and Broccoli Egg Muffins  that I have been stalking for a couple of weeks.  Finally tried it, and I gotta say, I think I gotta hit here! I pretty much followed the recipe.  Only change was using cut up turkey sausage links instead of italian, and shredded mexican cheese instead or parmesan.  They actually microwave really well and the recipe makes a really hearty muffin!  I made them on sunday and they will be GREAT for my rush mornings.

Boo!

Bet you didn't think you would see a post from me did you? So I am trying get this right for the god knows how manyith time.  I'm going to go through my blogroll and read for the majority of the day and find out why all of you beautiful women can get it right but I cannot... PS thanks Ronke for the comment back in April!  I needed to hear from someone! In the meantime.  I have not been completely a bum.  I recently started a beauty blog with some friends.  Let me know what you think! www.tintedglam.com

Sunday... Monday...

I absolutely hate S unday nights. Because there is nothing to look forward to on Monday morning. Especially when I already know I'm behind at work. Sunday was definitely successful in a different way. I accompanied my mother to a Pampered Chef Party yesterday, and my mother owns just about everything that company has ever released. We have tons of boxes in the garage that she hasn't even opened yet. Anyway... If you've ever been to one of these parties you already know, but for those of you who are unfamiliar I'll explain. Pampered Chef is one of those independent consultant companies that sells cook ware, tools, and just about anything related to cooking. And at the parties the host will cook something using these incredibly cool gadgets. Well At yesterday's party the dish was chicken quesadilla pizza. The recipe was super easy and way delicious so I decided to make it for dinner today... Such a win. If you wanna try it out its way simple. Pillsbury piz

been too long...

I know. Not even gonna address it because it happens soooo often! Thank being said I'm gonna work on the challenge Miss Haneefa i s starting tomorrow. The goal is 15 pounds in 15 week so I can get my sexy on for new years. Def stole the idea from my homegirl Young Black and Banded , but I'm sure she won't mind :) Tomorrow I'll weigh in and do a post on the meal planning thing. That's it for now but I really needed to post something... anything... just to get my mind back right. ***RANDOM ALERT*** I have had this song stuck in my head all day, but I am totally in love Willow Smith

Just started a new schedule woth Monday's off. SO I decided to have my bestie do a mini photo shoot for me! I looked HUGE in most of the pics, just more motivation for me to get my exercise on, but some turned out pretty good. Here's some of the useable one's...

yea... life is going all types of crazy. That hour and a half commute I have to work each way, just became semi permanent. Got a bit of a reality check from one of my old co workers. Basically she said I'm being a selfish ass using my parents house to save for my own apartment, when I know things here rough here. The economy is hitting everyone, I just didn't realize how close to home it hits. And of course... she's right. So that means more long days are ahead. Of course good has to come out of any adverse situation: -I'm saving some (just some) -I'm helping my family -I'm closer to family ...and that's what I'm gonna focus on
