Hi All!



Hi All -before I begin: my government is Tonya Brooks



Its nice to have so many sista working together for a purpose...to get Fit 4 Life!

Here's my MO -working out with wii fit, bootcamp & at Gardiner Rec center.
I hadn't worked out since before the holidays -this left me feeling icky: listless, tired and down. I worked out last night and today I am able to hang with the best of them:)! Just a side note to self; once you begin to work your body, it expects it and will not function right w/o it!

Also, don't forget your vitamins. My last physical my doctor did a full blood workup and recommend the ones I needed to bring my levels up. Not going to tell you which ones, because each one of us are different, so check with your doctor to see what you might need. Will say this, I started feeling a lot better.

Lastly, I am part of SparksPeople.com. If you are an online type of person, you will find great tools & tips.

That's my input for the day!

Eating Out ...Too Much

Happy Monday All. I am emailing to tell on myself. I ate at The Cheesecake Factory, Red Lobster and Famous Daves all within the last 7 days. That is NOT good (I know.) I am going to try to limit myself to eating out once a week ( I knew thi swould be my downfall.) I do have plans to go to Applebee’s Tonight. I will try and order from the Healthy Menu and act like I'm in a competition.

Today is the day

Hello. I'm on the road to completion. We did line dancing and it was fun. i think i'm going to go every week. if you have not tried it you need to. At club network thay have free line dancing on mondays. so me and some of my work friends will attend on monday.

Line dancing is the place to be

People! WE HAD SO MUCH FUN LAST NIGHT!!! OMG! Line dancing was so much fun, we had lots of our BLR members show up. Kim Roberson, Tracy Knight, Sharon came as she mentioned, Angela Kates, Kristina Maye, Olivia West, Shavon Ashford (I hope i am not forgetting anyone). We had so much fun. i mostly had fun laughing at myself. I did burn some calories on that dance floor, my chest was hurting I was working so hard. i learned (in case i did not already know) that i do not have any rythem!! but thats alright I had fun anyway!

They talked about the Black Heritage Gala. For those of you who have not gone. it is a wonderful night out. We don';t get to got to Balls and fancy dinners all the time and this Gala is an opportunity to do that while celebrating Black History. I would encourage you to go. plus we are all working hard to lose weight and within a month we will be able to squeeze into a smaller size (smile).

I am trying to go to thr gym tonight but my car is in the shop. can anyone help?

Keep it moving

Hello All,
This is my first post and my first full week in BLR and its been good. I didn't join BLR to lose weight but to utilize it in an effort to assist me in becoming a healthier me while utilizing BLR as a vehicle to meet different people. I'm sure you all know, GOD is faithful and I have met some wonderful ladies in the past week....some of whom I've known but didn't know.
I work out at World gym which is very convenient for me because Im EASTSIDE but I can always get a guest pass if you are interested in joining me (M,W,F 7-8pm and Sat am-before none).
If you have been working out for a while, you get bored and this is exactly what happen to me just before the holidays . I needed something different to jump start me and this week I enjoyed mall walking, had a GREAT work-out at Gardner St. Rec. Center and tonight- line dancing....if you were there, you know I'm rhythmically challenged. All and all, it was a lot of fun- even if you aren't a dancer - like me.
Just an FYI and this works for me, I only weigh myself once a week-in the am, but as women, we lose inches before weight, so I rely on how my clothes fit and if I haven't eaten by 7:30pm- then, Im not eating.
Be Blessed, keep the right snacks near by and keep it moving.
Sharon
