Why am I NOT Losing Weight Already????

July 22, 2014

Hey Divas!

It can be soooooo frustrating when the scale seems to be broken why else not would I not be losing weight? Battling with my own frustrations I had to take a step back and deep dive into possible causes, this is what I found out:

1. Hitting the gym after hittin the club – morning workouts are fabulous provided a diva got a good nights rest the night before at least 7 hours study’s have shown that those who do not get enough sleep can actually gain. So go home before the last call! Quality sleep allows the body to get the restorative rest she needs.

2. Blowing The A/C making your power bill rain! Take heart divas I am guilty as charged on this one especially living in Las Vegas. Artificial climate reduces our appetite and food intake thus slowing down our metabolism mojo! So let’s put on our big girl pants and take a little heat! My A/C had actually went out in my car and your girl is Glow-wing! Lemme tell you!!! A little discomfort can round out those lady lumps and junk in the trunk! glam it up and use a fan in your home act like you are on a photo-shoot!

3. The Finale Chocolate has been discovered as an antioxidant! Cacao in chocolate has been found that it can lower blood pressure and reduce heart attack risk diabetes and dementia possibly even prevent cancer and stroke. There is a HUGE difference between Cacao and a highly processed chocolate candy bar! Look for bars that have at least 65% Cacao and save the M&M’s for treat day 🙂

Style On The Fly: Jumpsuits Yay or Nay?

July 19, 2014

Hey Divas!

I need this in my life! I’m a plus size hourglass body type. I did not think that I could do jumpsuits because of my abundance of tummy and lady lumps. I had tried one on the other day and to my surprise it was very flattering. The proper undergarments can go a loooooong way divas! This is a great suit that can be worn during the day and easily transition to the evening.

Happy Shopping! I looooove this site! I have gotten several tops and dresses from igigi that really look out for us plus size fashionistas who want style and class in their wardrobe.
They are a bit on the pricey side but well worth the money!

How to Get Confidence

July 18, 2014

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!

5 Reasons Why I Walk

July 13, 2014

Mia The Diva

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!

Hey Divas!

Protein helps to repair, build and shape those fabulous ” muskies ” of yours while you burn calories to reduce fat. Whey protein supplements can be used as an exercise recovery drink within about a half hour of exercise; It can also be used as an occasional meal replacement.

So what exactly is Whey? Whey protein is natural part of dairy products like yogurt for example. You may see it a lot in the stores as a supplement shake in big jars. Be careful not to take too much if you experience bloating or headaches it’s not a good look for a diva and you are trying to do a bit too much. Studies recommend one gram per kilogram of body weight but take heart divas do your own research to find out how much you need.

What makes Whey Protein so Fabulous?

Picture this; you are in the gym working on your fitness and bringing’ the sexy back lifting weights, after your routine you have a delicious Whey Chocolate Protein Shake taste sooooooo good, you almost forget that it’s healthy.

Whey protein gets digested very quickly by the body which means it can be used faster than other forms of nutrition even other types of protein. In supplement form it’s much lower in calories of fat and carbs sooooooo that means if you take a swig after a weight bearing exercise; it will go straight into the fabulous sexy & lean sculpted muscles of yours!

Be Healthy! Be Fabulous!
