Part of my summer series I suppose. I totally love this.

Daily Pick Me UP

Inspiration, is soooo key. If there’s something you want to achieve/attain please find models to emulate and reinvigorate yourself with their struggles and their successes. It will become the impetus for you to keep moving. G’Luck.

Um… yeah, this definitely gets me body going. Every time it comes on in the car, I lose my mind and all the cars surrounding me get really nervous. Probably because I look like I need medical attention.

Ah well. Enjoy!

Usher feat Will.I.AM “OMG”

What’s Up Doc?

I was doing something the other day that my brother thought was gross.

I asked why.

He said that’s not her girls are supposed to act.

I asked why.

He said cause I watch movies and that’s not what girls do.

And I said yeah because everything in movies is true.

Then he said… I don’t want to talk about this anymore.

hahahahaha. Did i do something wrong? I mean… my semi-exhibitionist brother has a problem with me blowing my nose.. what gives. I HAD to school him. It’s 2010. I’m over this misogynistic crap. Moral: Don’t let people tell you what to do with your body… especially if it’s not supported by research, facts, or evidence.

Conflict of Interest

The mission of ‘The Body Manifesto’ has changed over the past few months, but ultimately, the heart of the focus remains the same: loving everything about yourself, flaws included. This too means that you should put the needs of others/naysayers/etc as second and push yours to the forefront, especially if you are used to taking second fiddle to the needs of your friends, family, children, loved one, boss, etc. You have to put yourself first. I still think this is true.

Unfortunately, I’m at a crossroads where my instincts, my reactions to situations are being attacked by the desires of others, what THEY want me to do. Now, I learned a while ago that not everything is black and white. There’s a spectrum. But here’s my issue, and to anyone reading… please help me out.

When does respecting yourself, and thereby your needs and your opinions become selfish? Is selfish a bad thing? And WHY oh WHY do other people want the exclusive rights to how you behave?

Do You Have Any Bayer?

So, bootcamp started today and it was great. I killed… or I’m not in horrible shape; I can run for long periods of time.

But, I CAN feel my legs. Like I can really feel them. Like when I can feel them throbbing as I walk down the stairs. But that’s not actually what gave me a minor heart attack. What’s was actually scary:

I’m working with one of my students and at one point I turn and ask, “is your heart on the left or the right side of your chest?” She said the left. Problem? Well, YEAH! Several yawns had brought on sharp pains from the left side of chest. Now… we can just say it was some heartburn lol. But, I asked if she had aspirin anyway.

The commercials says it’ll save a life. Take your Bayer.

ANOTHER nicki minaj track. What can I say, she brings the hiphopheadbangers.

I Get Crazy by Nicki Minaj feat. Lil Wayne

Riddle Me This

If there are so many beefheads in the world and people getting degrees in health and body sciences and nutrition and all that jazz… why is it so hard to find a decent personal trainer? I mean all I want is some toned arms!

Should I just develop my own plan and pay my little brother to keep me on it?    $10/hr vs   $45/hr?

This Is What Is Wrong with the World

Paula Deen.

Please stop.
