1st 5k!!!!

So, I have been completing this workout thing all wrong. 3 weeks out the month I am super amped to get all my training days in, and the remainder of the month, I'm hitting up the gym maybe 2 times, and eating junk food.

In the beginning of April I decided to take a different approach. I was going to complete the Insanity workout and strength train. Unfortunately that plan was derailed by only one of the CDs working. I've had the CDs for almost 2-3 years now and only played the fit test.

Anyhow.… Im making it a point to start now. After all, a start is a start, right! I joined Black Girls Run and only been able to make it to one run :-(. That motivated then unmotivated syndrome again. Today I woke myself up and said I will run. So without further a due, I present to you my first 5k run straight! I was familiar with the first mile but usually take a different route. Today I stayed around the lake. During this run, I considered stopping to qalk and rest. I had to tell at myself in my head. I was also motivated by the other runners who I saw multiple times on the route. I saw one guy three times. I will consider run 3 miles, walk 3 and run the final 3. We'll see!

Next up… Zumba…

I took an hour break and headed to a Zumba class which I thought was being out in by my favorite instructor. I got there and I was wrong. I ended up staying for the class but was not impressed. The teacher was more concerned with making sexual faces than she was at teaching coordinated movements. My original instructor does a variety of music (dancehall, salsa, bachata, merengue) which I enjoy. This was all Spanish music with a belly dancing beat. I did sweat but know that I could have done more.

The results are in…

Looks like my blog is going to be a one stop shop… hope you all like the variety…

Revamp

I've been thinking of revamping this account for the longest. I still enjoy thrifting, and I still enjoy makeup and writing but I have shifted my energy towards newer and better things.

My thoughts is to combine everything here: thrifting, fashion, hair and fitness/ workout updates.

The pros of this is this will serve as a one stop shop for all of my adventures. The con is that if people are I retested in one aspect of my journey over others it will all get compiled and tedious to search through all the posts for a specific topic. I hate making decisions for those who followed my blog and know me! We shall see. Secondly, I do have another blog created soley for my nursing journey in grad school and my triumphs on searching for the rich unit for me!

Renovatoins

I will be revamping this blog in the next few days. I havent decided if I will keep it as a style blog, then create on for my hair and makeup.... yet. Im motivated by different things these days such as fitness and education, and preparing myself to be the best person I can be. So in the next few days, this site may have a new look and name Any ideas would greatly be appreciated

School is in!!!

So school started for me this week and I'm not sure how to feel. On one hand I'm ecstatic that I'm making progress in my educational pursuit but on the other I'm scared to push myself. I have a mentee and each time she comes to me and tell me her progress in school or states she's ready for the next semester… my response is to say " well what about np school, what about phd." I come from a linage of educationally hungry men and that gene is instilled in me. My circle of friends typically joke and call me a professional student. I'll wear that cron proudly as I ascend to the highest of highs!

Hitch Hiking my Way back to Sanity

For those who consistently follows my blog, you might notice a pattern. Alot of my begining posts surrounds issues with emotions. When I opened started this blog, I originally wanted to make it all about make up and thrift store shopping. Slowly but surely my transition turned into wanting to express myself.

Now I came into realization that alot of my defense mechanisms, and coping mechanisms, were okay but not addressing the subject. Kind of like 'ignoring the pink elephant in the room' syndrome.

So there

The begining of something beautiful.

So here I am ready to document my next journey..... Sisterlocks. I actually cut off my locs on October 4th. After the cut I decided to wear a pixie cut for a month, braids for a few weeks.. and now, a bald head. Currently Im undecided how long I will grow my hair before I start the locks. Part of me want to start it on longer hair and part of me wants the short look... Either way, im sure you'll be on of the first to know which decision I make .
