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!
Confidence. It’s so freaking sexy. Everybody wants it but does know exactly how to get it. Having confidence opens doors that no other can open. It allows a diva to do whatever she pleases and live a life without constant fear of failure. It allows a diva to have self-worth and not give into other people’s bullshit.
I’ve had a lot of people ask me how I remain so confident what’s the secret how do you do it. It amazes me that people are surprised when a plus sized person has confidence and dresses well that it is so foreign to them.
Divas for one there is no secret to confidence like anything else it is a skill that can be learned. I’m not confident everyday there are days when I am down but “acting” confident can have an effect on your mood uplift you and effect those around you so share! Make it a habit! We can form all kinds of habits why not allow being confident one of them.
When a diva is confident she runs the show she calls the shots she takes a bow because she is center stage when ever she wants to be, whenever she chooses to be. A confident diva does not have to disappear into the background.
So how does a diva get it?
Think positive, everybody has problems no one wants to hear a diva belly ache #notagoodlook for a diva.
What have you achieved in the last year, last five years that had you like yea that’s me bitches!!!
What are you most proud of? How did it make you feel?
What are you good at brag post it up on Instagram and hashtag # that out!
In general when people compliment you, what do they say?
Keep it positive divas your proudest moments and accomplishments is your value and is your confidence mojo!

Hey Divas!
Because this is how I walk. OWN it!!!’
I remember my first fitness date so many years ago I told myself: “Today I Run.”
I made it to the mailbox.
I know many times we wanna hit the gym, join that online 30 day ab challenge, run a marathon, do a thousand sit-ups, pop in a P90x CD and ” Go Beast Mode ” take heat divas, sometimes the lofty goals although fantastic are just not realistic fitness goals to maintain when just starting out.
I have set lofty goals in the past only to end up disappointed and angry with myself for not keeping up and went right back to my X Mr. McNasty answering his late night foodie calls….as the saying goes… sometimes we have to walk before we can run.
Walking by far is the most effective and safest exercise for a diva just starting out on her healthy fitness journey. Lots of divas start by just simply walking.
Here are 5 Whys Why Walking is a great First Fitness Date!
1. It’s free no gym membership!
2. Just about every diva can do it from 2 to 102!
3. We use most of our energy walking in our day to day activity we do it daily!!!
4. Take it to the streets! You can walk anywhere the mall the office, around your house…
5. Get a pedometer! It’s an easy way to track activity a diva needs to know her math!
I’ve fought it for many years at the end of the day we have to know our numbers to lose but more importantly to maintain weightloss the daily goal to maintain healthy daily physical activity is 10,000 steps a day.
#FitTip Walking 30 minutes meets daily physical activity requirements to maintain physical activity requirements, take it easy divas you can work your way upto 10k! Rome was not built in a day!
So OWN it Diva Get Out there and Walk!

Hello Beauties!
In addition to being fabulous, a lot of our lifestyle is structured around what we eat. In weight management food is very important.
People can work out for hours and hours, cardio and power walk, run themselves to death sweat out in saunas only to get frustrated when just ” water weight ” comes off and never really seem to lose anything.
Such a shame after a Diva has sweated her hair out and no results!
In managing weight it’s 90% of what you eat, and 10% of exercise, so let’s check out how our diets compare:
The American Cancer Society has developed guidelines to help you reduce your risk for cancer and other ” lifestyle ” illnesses like heart disease and diabetes etc.
Did you know that scientist estimate that 35% of all cancer deaths may be related to what we eat?
We don’t need to be buying flowers for any divas anytime soon so check out these steps listed below to help get us started on the path to eating clean.
* Avoiding Obesity ( weighing more than 20% or more of your target weight standard based on your frame and if you are small or big boned )
* Eating fewer foods that have high cholesterol levels.
* Cutting down on fat intake – primarily from animals that come from meat and dairy products
*Eating bulkier, high fiber foods like veggies and whole grain breads and cereals
* Eating at least 5 servingsof fruits and veggies each day especially those rich in vitamin A and Vitamin C.
* Consuming moderate amounts of salt cured, smoked, foods like bacon, ham, and smoked fish.
* Don’t blame it on the alcohol! LoL limit your intake if you drink at all
* Cutting down on salt
* Reduce intake of sugar
* Reducing fat intake
* Choose food items with less than one gram of fat per 30 calories.
* Keep saturated fat ( found in animal products and packaged foods ) less than 10% of total calories.
* Calculate the percentage of calories from fat by ( amount of calories x .30 = number of calories from fat )
If you need help on deciding what to eat and how much of it use The Food Guide Pyramid.
