Jillian's 30 Day Shred
Um…. I didn’t do it in 30 days. Honestly, I’m only on day 8. It’s tough and I like it, but it did end up hurting my knees when I did it day after day so I ended up dreading doing it. Instead, I adopted some of her excerises into my “commercial break routines”, something I do quite often.

Tired of Carrots and Hummus?
Well… admittedly, I’m not. I friggin love that stuff.
However, I was out of carrots today. (Imagine me going to the fridge this morning only to discover this. “Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!” ::Shaking fist at sky:: …Because that’s exactly what happened.)
Being the creative sort that I am, I grabbed a Persian cucumber instead and just now had it for my...

Hey Jeff!
If you are going to make the dates rolled in coconut from scratch, I’d recommend cutting up the dates or popping them in the blender for just a moment. You really need the “sticky-ness” from the date exposed for the shredded coconut to stick. Then I’d form them into a little log shape and roll them in the shredded coconut.
These are so stinking good, I can...

NSV of the highest order
I was trying on clothes at the mall today with Chippy (mad props to my pops, who knows better than to pick out clothes for me and instead just gives me the cashmoney) and grabbed this super cute greenish blue sweater in medium.
Tried it on, thought it was alright but something looked “off” about it. Turned to Chippy who immediately said “You need a smaller size, Buba”...

With Christmas around the corner...
I’m watching my intake this week, big time! I intend to splurge on Christmas day with plenty of wine, cheese and grub (my dad and step-mom are phenomenal cooks) and don’t want to feel “guilty” about it.
As I’ve begun to lose weight, I’ve noticed how much I used to associate eating with feeling guilty. I’d eat something and then I’d be mad at myself....

My Weakness
I am in control of so many areas of my life but I have been allowing myself to over analyze challenging areas and situations recently. This is super destructive to my emotional well-being. I get caught up in “what if”s and “what then”s and forget to live in the moment.
Today, I begin working on not being so focused on the future that I forget to nurture the current...
