Hi Divas!
Life can get in the way of reaching our goals but we can not let that stop us! This past week I took my workout up a notch by including weight training into my work out routine.
What I am learning is that a new lifestyle will eventually break bad habits.
My wellness journey is a work in progress. Once I shifted my focus from I got to lose x amount of pounds and trying to figure out what to eat, once I began to just focus on exercising consistently, my body began to crave healthy food and no longer wanted the junk. Every now and then I will eat something sweet or fried but as my eating habits change my body demands healthy food. My brain, well that is a different story.
A diva was still trying to get her grub on. Yoga would not allow me to eat junk because when I did my body would pay for it BIG TIME!
I would get my ass kicked in class! I would feel depleted and exhausted after class instead of feeling vibrant and having tons of energy #notagoodlookforadiva
Getting physically active is breaking me out of bad habits it wasn’t overnight but over time my body no longer wants the crap it wants the healthy stuff. I want to drink water and not juice. I want to eat fruit and not candy.
I challenge you Divas this week to start breaking those bad habits & refocus on fitness! Take a walk, take a class, go for a nature hike whatever you do get active!

Hey Divas!
You know I love goals. Goals carry us through when the going get tough and the tough get going in regardless of what we do.
In lifestyle change focusing on that magic number has caused me more grief than I don’t know what over the years. It’s lead to yo-yo dieting, feelings of guilt and shame when I did not reach my goal and worse going back to my old ways my old patterns when I gained back. I’ve had lofty weightloss goals in the past and that has only led to feelings by being overwhelmed and little by little fall off track and eventually off program #notagoodlookforadiva
In short I ended up getting completely frustrated and ended up quitting. #flybyjuly is about shifting focus from the scale to being healthy! There are so many benefits beyond the scale that we get from working out I have so much more energy I feel beautiful and strong. I am proud of my body.
Once I shifted my goals to health goals it has been a complete lifestyle change years in the works but little by little I’ve changed my food choices I am more aware of what I put into my body and understand the value of proper nutrition. I started my wellness journey officially 5 years ago I am no where close to were I want to be but I am getting there progress makes more progress 🙂
If you still have the urge to get ” Skinny ” why not shift your focus to a dress size instead of weight because weight goes up and down when gaining muscles from working out so don’t be so hard on yourself dear diva!
Once I started to feel my clothes fitting a bit loser it has given me motivation to keep going.

Hi Divas!
I haven’t forgotten about you been slow on the blog as it’s been a busy couple weeks! I had decided to have an official re-launch party to Celebrate #flybyjuly365.It was going to be a Fabulous Pool Party! I had everything planned out invites out menu planned bought all the food & festivities planned out… the day started out gorgeous birds singing then the day turned dark and darker and darker.
I just purchased 5 bags of ice and as I’m carrying them up the stairs I’m thinking it will lighten up. It gets darker. I check the weather forecast and expected rain and scattered Thunderstorms!
I’m not trying to buy flowers because a diva got zapped in the pool! #notagoodlookforadiva needless to say I was disappointed.I was looking forward to reconnecting with my girls and having and all out BLAST! I ended up cancelling the party and notifying all of my guest I was expecting a really good turn out but you know the weather is the weather.

Hey Divas!
The day I noticed I was rockin a Full C Cup on my back everything changed.
When I was first getting started on my wellness journey years ago I was not sure when to work out how long to workout. I just showed up at the gym like Hellooooo I’m here! I walked on the treadmill for about 15 minutes and then if I was up for it I would hit the stair master for a couple of steps until I became lightheaded ( 3 minutes later ) and then headed to the smoothie bar. My work out was all of 20 minutes.
I was completely lost. The few little calories I burned from my 20-30 minute work outs cost me more in gas than the calories I burned. I was still overweight and still on E something had to change. #notagoodlookforadiva
It’s #FlyByJuly365 and I am committed to stepping up my game. I’m ready to do the work.
Experts suggest to start at a 60 minute work-out 5 times a week:
5 minute warm-up cardio session
50 minutes main exercise ( Sweat Sesh #backfatblaasst )
5 minute cool down to bring the heart rate down to normal
If we are good to our bodies, our bodies will be good to us!

Hi Divas!
Everything was cool until I took a side profile shot! LoL! Embracing the sexy but this Diva is not healthy and has got her work cut out for her.
My Ultimate goal is to have a healthy waist line of 34inches by July 1st 2016.
My waist is currently at 52 inches. So a diva has got her work cut our for her!
How did I come up with this number?
Tip: For optimal health shoot for waist line that is half your height or less.
I’m excited about starting RESET! It’s a 5 Day High Fiber Cleanse program that helps a diva transition to a clean eating diet.
When we eat a lot of junk, meat, highly processed foods, starchy foods and sugar it messes up with our body’s ability cleanse itself of toxins #notagoodlookforadiva
When we start to eliminate unhealthy foods and begin to consume antioxidants rich foods our body begins to detoxify and repair.
I will be following the RESET program for the next 5 days I will be on this detox to get rid of the junk in my body and the junk in my life.
I will reconnect with you next week with the deets of my results. I’m looking forward to not only reconnecting with my body but also my mind and my spirit.
