The coldest winter ever!!!

Well today was an off day for me.. The temperature here in Chicago is -45 degrees with the wind chill. My job closed down for the day, the kids schools have also shut down for the day.. So we have been in the house relaxing and watching movies... The kids have no school tomorrow and as for myself, I have to wake up and check to see if my job is opening which I'm sure it will be.

Glad I went out Saturday and picked up a few groceries while we had the heat wave of 30 degrees. Lol.. It may not look like I will be warm enough but believe me I had on 3 jackets, 2 scarves, long johns and thigh high socks... Lol.. Oh and I can't forget about my trusty ole earmuffs... Do I wear hats? No, but I do have one and prepared to put it on when needed. And with this negative degree weather I'm certain that I will be putting it on for work tomorrow.

If you don't have to go outside DON'T... This cold is very dangerous.. If it's a must, please make sure to stay safe and warm. Until next time... xoxoxo

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 ...

Running Season Has Began!!!!

I was so excited to run my second 5K of the year with my sister and my girls this past Saturday.. The Blacklight Run was like a 5K party in the dark, with glow powder flying everywhere and over 20,000 people out, enjoying the nice weather and each other.. We met some great people and it was just exciting to see my sister and her friend complete their very first 5K with many more to follow... Very proud of you Ladies!!!! I'm looking for our next 5K or maybe 10K? Lol... Smooches!!!

The Perfect Diet Plan

Is there a such thing as a perfect diet plan? All I know is, the less calories you take in if you are wanting to lose weight. The more you have to take in if you are building muscle.. But the "perfect" meal plan NO!.. Every meal plan does not work for everybody.. You must go by a low calorie meal plan that works for you. Stay away from sugar, processed foods, fried foods and high calorie foods and drink half of your body weight in ounces of water. Back to the basics. I have been on a continuous struggle with losing this last 25 pounds for over a year now. Listening to and doing all of these different diet plans, switching things up because this person said that you should do this and another person says that you shouldn't do that. Different trainers do different things, and depending on how close of a relationship you have with your personal trainer if you have one, you will not exceed those goals until you take the initiative and push yourself to the limits for yoursel...
