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.
Be Healthy! Be Fabulous! Be You!

Hi Divas,
About this week.🖤
It’s been a tough one.
When those close to me hurt. I hurt. When a loved one is lost there really are no words of comfort that can be offered. Only your love and support.
Many of us are losing our loved ones primarily our parents. A change of the guard. It’s a part of life but losing a parent is losing a piece of your identity. We revert back to being a child in that moment no matter our age. When l lost my Mom almost 20 years ago l thought l had this death and grief thing down. I was painfully wrong.
Losing my second parent in 2018 almost took me out. The emptiness l felt was insurmountable. My father and l were extremely close especially after my Mom died we leaned on each other.
I learned that l had a lot of unresolved issues that came to the surface after his death. It has been my greatest blessing thus far of discovering who l truly am and what l’m made of.
We never truly grow up until our parents are gone.I am grateful and blessed to have had amazing parents who did their very best providing me the tools to succeed in life. My greatest lesson l learned from them was simply observing how they lived.
When l see the post on my timeline of loved ones lost take heart that your pain is felt and that you are not alone. We will all lose someone near and dear to us at some point in our lives but know that ironically these experiences bring us closer to ourselves.
We are not from our parents but we do come through them in this life’s journey. It took me some time to grasp that concept.
Every season of life will require a new you. The most valuable words of wisdom was from my Grandfather.
He died at the age of 86 twenty-five years ago. One of his last words were “ Just when you figure it all out, it’s time to go.” I was young and did not truly understand this concept until now.
There is no rush to get it all right or figure it all out. I’m patient in allowing my life to unfold…

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! 💚💚
Be Healthy! Be Fabulous! Be You!

Hey Divas!
You know I love goals. Goals carry us through when the going get tough and the tough get going in regardless of what we do.
In lifestyle change focusing on that magic number has caused me more grief than I don’t know what over the years. It’s lead to yo-yo dieting, feelings of guilt and shame when I did not reach my goal and worse going back to my old ways my old patterns when I gained back. I’ve had lofty weightloss goals in the past and that has only led to feelings by being overwhelmed and little by little fall off track and eventually off program #notagoodlookforadiva
In short I ended up getting completely frustrated and ended up quitting. #flybyjuly is about shifting focus from the scale to being healthy! There are so many benefits beyond the scale that we get from working out I have so much more energy I feel beautiful and strong. I am proud of my body.
Once I shifted my goals to health goals it has been a complete lifestyle change years in the works but little by little I’ve changed my food choices I am more aware of what I put into my body and understand the value of proper nutrition. I started my wellness journey officially 5 years ago I am no where close to were I want to be but I am getting there progress makes more progress 🙂
If you still have the urge to get ” Skinny ” why not shift your focus to a dress size instead of weight because weight goes up and down when gaining muscles from working out so don’t be so hard on yourself dear diva!
Once I started to feel my clothes fitting a bit loser it has given me motivation to keep going.

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
