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!
Welcome to our first official week of ” Flying Back into Fall ” Rome was not built in a day so it will take us time to reach our fitness/weight loss goals. We can’t just say I want to lose 20lbs … 50 lbs… 100lbs… or run the NYC marathon this spring and not have a plan!
There is a saying that goes If you fail to plan then plan to fail.
This is something that I have struggled with for years because I did not know how to plan. I did not know much about calories and to be honest it was very confusing and frustrating because I did not understand it.
A healthy journey is not a straight arrow there are a lot of turns and curves and rebounds it’s not an easy road to travel but as along as we stay on that road we will eventually reach a fork where we can either continue to healthy journey or go back to our old ways. It’s up to us to decide.
Yes! We will have to know what we are eating and how much of it we will need to know how much exercise we are doing so we know what to change. Taking notice now will pay off BIG come Campaign season!
It’s kind of like this think of a house being built without a blueprint if you ” wing it and piece it together is this a house that you would feel safe living in? It’s no different with our bodies.
If your goal is just lose weight for the sake of weight loss then you can lose weight with any diet literally…but if your goal is to be Healthy Fly and Fabulous then subscribe to the blog and read on… divas the first step is to get moving again… it’s hard, it bites hard! You know what, it’s worth it. I just started a walking regimen that includes a lot of stairs and an hill. I complain but then I remember who I am doing this for, myself. We are no good to anyone one else if we are not in check ourselves.
If our physical activity is low the total energy our body burns is low. There is no diet anywhere that will allow a diva to not exercise and maintain a healthy weight if she be over or under.
Yes it’s true you can lose weight thousands of ways without having to exercise. A diva can only do this for so long until she loses her weight starts feeling cute ( we’ve all been there ) and then ….. ahhhhh relaaaaax and BOOM! The weight come back on.
Fauuuuuwww***k.
It’s not all about weightloss… getting active will make a diva feel absolutely Fabulous and she will want to be more active! So get out there and give it a whirl!
Be Healthy! Be Fabulous!

Digestion: The Secret Mojo for Weight Loss & Management
Hello Beauties It’s Wellness Wednesday!
So we have heard of like every diet, pill, and surgery,but no matter what we do it always comes back and we are off to try the next big thing! The next break through like green coffee beans is not new hot ticket item. Did you know that Americans spend over 1 BILLION, yes divas Billion with a “ B “ on weight loss products and services??????? Do you know how many Coach bags 1 BILLION dollars can buy???? It’s heart breaking. The hard truth that there are no quick fixes most people end up gaining double what they lost and the most of the popular weight loss programs fail to teach us about the most vital and critical component to be successful in losing as well as managing our weight. If we do not properly digest our food losing and managing weight can turn into bigger problem and can trigger the onset of chronic and degenerative disease.
Digestion is the Basis of our overall health. Digestion is responsible for so much that goes on inside us, everything from to how we feel to how we function, how much energy we have to go shopping to the fat we burn in Zumba to the appearance of our skin if our stomach is bloated or not. It’s a pretty amazing process!
Have you ever thought that your belly has a mind of it’s own. It makes you do unmentionable things like having fried sushi, a late night cap, or maybe those midnight munchies? It’s true our stomachs do have a mind of their own! Have you ever been so excited to see someone that you can feel it in the pit of your stomach or so nervous that you are sick to your stomach before that next big job interview? # ding! ding! ding!
Did you know that 80% of the body’s total serotonin is in our stomachs? Serotonin is our “free happy pills “ that naturally produces within our body, without the shrink visit and prescription bill to boot! So basically if our digestion is all outta control this can have a big impact that can affect our mood! # not a good look for a diva!
Once we get our digestion on track no more rockin that “back fat “ NO MORE ROCKIN a Full C Cup on our backs! EVVVVVVVAAAAAAA!!!!
Follow us for next week’s topic about the Digestive System! Time is cutting close July is 2 months away!
Be Healthy! Be Fly! Be Fabulous!
