The depressing battle of the batwings and how to get rid of them


Has anyone other than myself lift up their arms and had that little flabby skin as which they call "Batwings"?... Well, for most women it is a major issue, especially for those of us who have lost a large amount of weight and didn't incorporate enough weight training into our workouts while losing the weight. No woman wants flabby, unaesthetic arms. I found a 12 week program for toning the arms, which I will be adding to my already clean eating and workout routine with Shaun T.. T25 that is.. 

This routine will hopefully help me to tone and build muscles so that when the summer comes I will be able to flex and wear my tank top without a cover up. Something I have been wanting to do for years but too ashamed of my arms to do so. I am very determined to have me some very toned and sexy arms. How about you?




I found this routine on www.muscleandstrength.com


  • Weeks 1 to 4 - Lower Volume, 6 to 10 rep sets.
  • Weeks 5 to 8 - Higher Volume, 10 to 15 rep sets.
  • Weeks 9 to 12 - Rest-pause focus.
Lower Volume Workouts. During this time you be performing the hardest arm building exercises. The focus will be on doing as many reps per set as possible while keeping good form. Do not train to failure!
Higher Volume Workouts. Workouts will feature lighter isolation exercises, but a lot of sets and sets. It will be a dramatic contrast to weeks one to four.
Rest-Pause Workouts. These workouts will be brief, but physically intense. You will be resting exactly 20 seconds between each set. Use the same weight for each set of a given exercise.
Please note that this arm program can be broken up into 3 separate arm workouts, which could be run with nearly any training split.
If you do follow the program as written, make sure to take one week of rest before starting it again.

Day 1 - 7 day detox back to fitness and weight loss journey

Today, I started Day 1 of my 7 day detox to cleanse my body and to give myself a jumpstart back on my fitness and weight loss journey. Well, how did it go? I flopped!!! My motivation was there but I was starving by the time I made it home form work... I drunk my ACV and Green smoothie for breakfast, My cabbage soup for lunch and had plenty of water, but I have to get my body back to this lifestyle. I have taken a long break because it has been so much going on within this past year from March 2016 I broke my toe and a lot in my personal life has been going on. So stress eating began and even though the foods I was eating were healthy choices, too much healthy foods can pack on pounds as well especially when majority of them are high carbs and you're not working out. My goal is to lose 60 pounds by my birthday which is on September 9th with a well balanced meal plan (meal prepping) and exercise 4-5 days a week. So please continue to follow my journey with me for great tips on how ...

The benefits of drinking water

Are you drinking half your body weight in ounces of water? Not only does water help to flush out the toxins in your body it also helps energize the muscles... Cells that don’t maintain their balance of fluids and electrolytes shrivel, which can result in muscle fatigue especially when you are very physically active... Water can also help control calories, which can help with weight loss, and it also helps with making your skin look good and radiant.. So get that water in daily..#thickvegan #fitchick #healthylifestyle #cleaneating #water #vegan 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💯💯💯

Always Plan Ahead

It has been a rough few weeks for me. Even though I have been working out 5-6 days a week, my weight has been at a plateau and I have been doing the Daniel Fast, which is a spiritual fast, but my body is so drained from doing all of these fasts lately, that I really need to get back on a well-balanced meal plan. I need to give my body the nourishment it needs because obviously, I am not giving it enough of something. Anyways, I broke the fast yesterday while celebrating at the skating rink for my sons 5th birthday. I felt bad because this fast was for spiritual reasons and I normally can last through any situation. I did not plan for myself yesterday, something that I normally am on top of. I am a part-time traveling hairstylist and went to do a client turned good friend's hair at 7:30am. I did have half an apple and a handful of grapes with a cup of green tea for my breakfast. Afterwards, I had to run a few errands before my babies party began at 1:30pm and by the time I finish...
