Work It Out Kiddo!

If you’ve been following me for awhile then you know Anissa is an Olympic Gold Medalist swimmer, at least that’s what I like to believe in my head. In actuality swimming is the physical activity Anissa enjoys. That was up until she graduated. Yes, Anissa officially reached the end of her swim lesson journey. After graduation we looked for other activities for Anissa to do to keep her physical. Up next…cheerleading. All throughout the summer we went to practice and games and kept Anissa active. Now we have reached the time of the year where those activities are wrapping up … Continue reading Work It Out Kiddo!

As life would have it I just began to accept the pounds as HAPPY to be alive weight and went on my merry way. It was a lie. These were not HAPPY pounds they were you are not watching … Continue reading Being Nanekia…Feelin’ Pretty

Why Won’t She Sleep?!

Everybody tells you to sleep when the baby sleeps. That’s the advice new moms get when they have a fresh bundle of joy, but what are you to do as a seasoned mom with a 5-year-old who doesn’t sleep?! I was seriously starting to believe that Anissa was sneaking energy drinks before bed. I’d heard start a routine, once she gets use to the routine she’ll be asleep in no time. So what did I do, I set the alert on my phone to start our routine, 1. take a bath, while in the bath read bedtime story, 2. lotion … Continue reading Why Won’t She Sleep?!

Weigh-In: The Journey

So, we are under 80 days away from what started this weight loss journey, V&J Wedding.  I’ll be honest those two have sabotaged my diet on more than one occasion because we all LOVE to eat.  I don’t regret it one bit.  We all have been taking our own roads to reach our fitness goals and I am exhausted but feeling great and looking better.  My hope is that you will take my story laugh, cry, be inspired, and encourage me so that we all know we are not alone. For me personally I use to compare myself to other … Continue reading Weigh-In: The Journey
