Hi Divas & Hello August!
New month new goals. So in short l was doing the extra most over this past year and a half or so during quarantine. I started to get serious about weight loss last month and to really focus on my health and all around wellness. There’s much life l have left to live and l want to be in the best shape possible to enjoy it.
I look at my face and see my mother’s face. I’m 43. She was 53 when she died from complications of diabetes. The older l get l the younger she looks. It’s not too late for me. I can turn this around. I was going down a path of feeling numbness in my legs and my fingers.
I’ve reached the highest weight of my life. I became depressed because l was ashamed that l allowed myself to go this far. Then l remembered l’m a Diva first and foremost always. I keep a smile on my face because I still have my body. I still have my mind. I still have my health.
Ironically, I’m passionate about nutrition. I really deep dived into it over the years after starting my blog. I’m grateful that l have the knowledge to know what l need to do to take care of myself and get back on track while working with my doctor and nutritionist.
Having professional help will hold me accountable to my goals and connect the dots.

Hey Divas!
I lost 7 lbs this past week. 🙌🏽💖
Juicing is a total game changer! Eating healthier, taking my vitamins. I’m so about this life right now! So l bought my juicer 2 years ago. Just starred at it now using it. To my surprise it was super easy to use and clean.
Taking on the daily detox regimen. Also with everything going on its also a great support to our immune system. Hot water, lemon and honey even better. It helps break up congestion.
Lemon water & Celery juice in the mornings!
{Drink 30 minutes apart}
It helps support liver detox overnight so our body can absorb nutrients & clean out all the toxins and food waste from our body that we store daily! To learn more about health benefits of lemon water & celery juice you can google Anthony William, Medical Medium
Celery juice also helps combat Breast & other Cancers. Cheers to good health! 💚💚

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!

Hey Divas!
Eating has gotten so complicated hasn’t it? Sometimes it can get frustrating when the racing thoughts come to mind of what should I eat how much of it, when should I eat? It’s pretty crazy how that like everybody is familiar with antioxidants, saturated fat, omega -3 fatty acid carbohydrates, gluten, probiotics,folic acid, stevia, simple carbs, complex carbs, the list is endless! In general we know it’s good for us and it ends there, most of us do not know why it’s good for us.
The crazy thing is that with ALL of this information we have it seems like food is not food anymore and somehow the enjoyment and satisfaction of eating has turned into counting carbs and nutritional facts more than the simple enjoyment of eating a good meal.
Having so much information can overwhelm a diva!
Feeling frustrated and confused in general about how to eat is what promoted me to deep dive and learn about nutrition and learn about how to eat properly and make better food choices.
I don’t want to have to rely on someone to tell me what to eat. I have worked with personal trainers who have given me a ” list ” to eat from and it did not work for me long-term because I did not understand food and how it worked in my body. I eventually got bored with my ” list ” and went back to my X Mr. McNasty…..he can sure sweet talk a diva during those late night foodie calls……. I know it’s complicated.
I’ve had to learn from my body and listen to her of what food works what food doesn’t. It’s not over night it takes time. What I have found out is that typically if I’m craving a certain food means that I am lacking that nutrient, for example milk; if a diva starts stalking and tip cows at night for milk ….then ummmm you may need calcium however calcium foods are typically higher in fat calories so experts recommend to take a calcium supplement to help curb the craving but still get the nutrition without the extra calories when trying to lose weight.
#Foodtip broccoli is a great source of calcium!
