Hi Divas!
You know how annoying it is to get game request to play games on Facebook. Imagine if Carb Crush were a game that you could just ignore the alerts to come play.
Here we are trying to get our healthy on and Carb Crush is sending us invites all day errrrrday! Office Potlucks, Pizza Day, Birthdays, Bae got promoted etc. We decline the request then eventually give in and then go HAM! We eat the donuts, the cake, the bagels, the entire basket of Red Lobster Cheddar Buscuits! #shameless Then the vicious cycle starts all over again and again.
So what are carbs anyways? They are sugars & starches. Carb Crush is not a fun game to play when a diva doesn’t have the rules, because if we eat too much we store fat if we eat too little we binge eat. It’s a fine line of eating the right carbs along with a balanced diet.
What do carbs do? They provide a diva with energy and that energy is either stored as fat or burned as fuel. If we eat too many it raises our blood sugar and stores carbs as fat. #notagoodlookforadiva
So why bother to play Carb Crush? Foods that have carbs also have minerals, vitamins, antioxidants, and other micronutrient that we need to well you know, live. It’s best to eat carbs that are high in fiber because your body will digest them slower and keep your blood sugar on rock steady on cruise control instead of the ups and downs of a roller coaster!
“Donut Give Up!” Eat a salad instead!

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.
If you would like to join me on RESET Click here Join The Campaign for more information

Hey Divas!
Welcome to a New Week!
Fail to plan and plan to fail I’m not sure who the saying is from but it holds a lot of wisdom. There is no ” winging ” it on a lifestyle change I have certainly gone full circle a couple of times and nothing changes until we change.
I think of having goals is like road map of where to go and what to do. We do not have to be at the finish line but we do have to see progress and that’s why it’s important to have goals.
This week’s challenge is to discover your goal what is your ultimate goal for your wellness journey what do you want out of it where do you want to go what do you want to do.
What will you do when you reach your goal. What are you wearing? Where are you? Who are you visiting with? What are you eating? What is your daily routine? Picture yourself already there.
I challenge you divas to really think about it envision it make it real.
When thinking of your ultimate goal keep these 5 things in mind:
1. Be specific what do you want?
2. How will you measure this goal?
3. Is your goal attainable?
4. Keep it real is your goal realistic?
5. What is the time frame that you are giving yourself to reach your goal?
What is your Ultimate Health Goal?

Hey Divas!
I’ve missed you Ladies! Summer is around the corner it’s about that time!
Warning: Long Post!
It’s been a minute and I hope that everyone is doing Fabulous on their health & wellness journeys! As we all know with this lifestyle change there is no straight arrow to success there are stops and curves and scribbles and circles before we get to where we want to be and I’m learning that the process is the fun part what a story we will have to share with one another!
I had to take a step back in order to take a step forward in my life. I had to prioritize what is truly important to me and carry on the work that God has called me to do.
When we abandon our calling not intentionally but more of getting in our own way and pursuing a life the way we think it’s suppose to be lived. In my experience this leads to disaster and feeling ” lost ” in this world.
If you are blessed to know your calling embrace it. If you don’t know your calling seek it. The only way you will find it is when you never pass up an opportunity and love everything! You will know you have found your sweet spot when you not only love what you do but you are passionate about it.
Embracing your calling is a gift and unique to you and only you so share with the world! We are all here to build to connect and to grow with one another.
So in short, I’m still here and so is Fly by July! I’ve experienced and experiencing medical challenges recently that I will be sharing in future post so this season Fly by July 2015 I will be focusing on documenting my journey we all know how this social media thing works LoL
If you don’t know now you know… ( In my Biggie Smalls voice )
You are more than welcomed to join me on my journey to health and freedom! Get plugged in and follow on social media everything ( the main ones ) is flybyjuly or @flybyjuly depending on your network of choice. I will be sure to follow you back let’s hold each other accountable and get FLY! I’m starting on Monday April 13th – July 13th you can join in at anytime!
How it Works:
This entire campaign is truly a passion and dream of mine that I’m not giving up on because everyone deserves to feel beautiful and needs support in one form or another when starting and continuing a healthy lifestyle, not everyone in the world is down for eating Kale Steaks and taking a swig of green smoothies on the daily. PLUS who doesn’t want to reap the benefits of living a HEALTHIER LIFESTYLE!
Like having a beautiful body that you are proud of a body that you earned. Having the energy to play with your kids, grandkids, husbands boyfriends and boo-thangs or even just having the energy to enjoy a Ladies Night with your girls.
Having the energy to go anywhere and do anything that your heart desires! It could be having the confidence to date again going for a job promotion or even possibly starting your own business! The world is your oyster divas and the possibilities are endless it doesn’t matter where you are in life if it be in your 20’s 30’s 40’s and beyond.
If we’re not growing we’re slowly dying and who’s trying to die!?! #notagoodlookforadiva Nobody has time for that right now we all have full lives ahead of us to live!
A brand new Fabulous Life awaits those who desire to seek it!
I don’t know of anyone who desires to get heart disease, diabetes, cancer, etc. we can not stop disease from striking us but we can take care of ourselves so that we have the best defense should it strike!
So when you are ready to makeover your lifestyle you will know it!
Just Start!

Hey Divas!
I know I have been a bit low on the fbj scenes as I have been working hard on the next campaign launch! I’m working on a smaller scale campaign ‘Fly Back Into Fall” as a soft launch into the main campaign that kicks off this Winter! I want for us to really start connecting and getting into the habit of building these behaviors so it is not a huge shock to our system come Winter!
The ” Fly Back into Fall “Campaign will run Monday October 13th through Sunday December 21st. There will be a weekly challenge posted on Sundays to help us warm up and prepare before the Official Kick-Off this winter! All that you need to get started is a pedometer, and a commitment to change!
You can join in anytime during the campaign but I recommend you start on the 13th to get the full benefit of the program.
If you are not ready to commit right now you can get in on the action in 4 Easy Ways @ anytime you are ready!
