There are times when I’m playing with my niece, Azalea, and I realize what I’m doing can actually be turned into a pretty good workout.

Paula is deflecting and doesn’t want to truly admit that this fat-filled cooking and eating, being overweight, inactive and over 50 has contributed to her diagnosis. She’s not taking responsibility.

I am truly happy for Jennifer. And she seems happy herself, which is great. But I’m sure Weight Watchers’ target market needs something else. This is just terrible.

She still has a long way to go but she’s lost a significant amount of weight and is gaining her health, confidence and life back. Alexis believes that SHE is important enough not to give up on herself.

The gym it can be extremely intimidating and for some folks a deterrent to actually working out. Have no fear (no, really, get rid of that ‘F’ word), I’m here to help guide you to making the gym your friend.

We are all constantly seeking motivation to get our butts up and do whatever it is we’ve set our hearts and minds to do. It’s truly never-ending.

This past Wednesay afternoon, I had the honor and the privilege of co-hosting a holiday shopping party at Marshalls with my awesome friends Afrobella, Luvvie of MustLuvvShoes and Aramide of TheSassyPeach.

If you start making small changes now, (like, today!) by the time the new year hits, you’ll have already mastered them and made big difference in your fitness life.

Right here in Chicago, on November 30th, join myself, Afrobella, Aramide Esubi of The Sassy Peach and Luvvie Ajayi of Awesomely Luvvie and MustLuvvShoes as we host a shindig like no other!

I try to stick to ingredients I can actually pronounce and don’t have to look up in the dictionary. The Two Degrees bars were definitely within my criteria. And the mission is something you can’t pass up.
