Healthly Living

So I have to say that I am loving my life right now. I am happy about my weight loss process. I have lost 17lbs thus far and this is how:

1. I eliminated all the fatty foods from my life. No more Junk foods. No more Fast Foods. I have cook almost everyday and when I haven't cooked I have managed to eat healthy. Eating out is not as hard as I thought it would be.  I order what my heart desires however, without all the extra trimmings. One condiment, no cheeses, no desserts, and no soda.

2. I cleaned out my refrigerator. I have tossed out all the sweets, cheeses, trans fat butters, whole milks, eggs, and meats with fats. I have opted to have egg whites, berries, non fat yogurts, non fat cheese, more green vegetables, soy milk, lean beef, lean turkey, fruits, and brown rice.  No more juices because of all the sugar, instead I bought a water 20oz water bottle, that I carry to work, working out, and around the house.

3. I work out at least three days a week for at least 45mins. I start off with stretching for five minutes. Then I do 15mins on the bike, 30min or the treadmill, and 50-100 crunches. I have recently increased the incline through out my workouts, as well as I added 5lbs weights to my ankles.



All these things are helping me get to my 50lb goal by July!!!   Side note: a glass of wine a week can't hurt.... :)

Random..Should be Sleep blog

 I have found that as I grow older the things that make me most happy are not really tangible. It's time, patience, and contentment.. I am most happy when I am in one place, in one mind set, and still. I love my quiet time. Rather if it's in my office @ home, in the car on the way to work, getting a mani/pedi, or reading a book. I like my ME Time.. ( singing Heather Headley's Me Time in my head)

I have also found that I am less stress when I work out now.. I want to work out all the time.. my friend said that I am an addict. What do I say to that? I would rather be addicted to something good for my health. 

I am most happy when my bills are paid. Most people try to figure out how to avoid paying bills, I am all about paying bi-weekly.. Too many families are not leaving behind legacies. I want my grandchildren to work to have a work ethic not to have money... I want to leave my family well off. We are the generation on Me. Like I just said, I like me time. However, I also understand the concept of WE, US, and THEM... ok I will get off my soap box, but I am just saying...

Okay enough of my random thoughts...

SN: I am down 8lbs... 42lbs to good. if I lost 8lbs a month.. I can reach my goal...

Peace and Blessings,

Anastasia

Food for life...

So it's a new year, and I am all about what I put in my body. I know what you are thinking! Everyone says that are going to eat right for the new year. Lost weight and feel great. The Weight loss campaigns this time of year is a multi-million dollar industry. With Celebs losing and posting themselves on every magazine and commercial you see. I saw Jennifer Hudson an immediately wanted to join weight watchers. However, I joined LA fitness in March, and I have been dedicated to getting healthy since November. I have started to indulge in more fulfilling healthy foods. I have cut my portion in half, and now I eat more frequently. My goal is to loose weight the right way. no gimmicks, no fasting, or pills. I will track my weight every two weeks. My goal is to loose 50lbs by July 9th 2011. Let me state it not a must that I loose 50lbs, because I will be happy with the lost of 15lbs as long as I am healthier. So this is week 1. I weighted in at 198LB's. Let's see how this goes!!

O btw, Zumba on the Wii is an Amazing workout. I literally was sweating within the first 6mins of a 20min workout.

Until we meet again.. I am on my road to a healthier me...

Fashion Spirit






This Year I am going to open a Boutique.. I want to work for myself, while doing something I love. I love fashion, on all levels. It does not have to be Marc Jacobs or Vera Wang ( two of my favorite designers), It just has to be an expression of me and the people who chose to shop with me. I want to sell practical, affordable, stylish, and of course FLY Shit. So Here a few Items I would Sell. Would you shop with me?

First Free Spirit

So because I have so much on my brain I decided to start a blog. Have you ever had information overload and needed to release? Well, this is my release. I am a poet but lately I have had writer's block so maybe blogging can unclog the brain.

I hope you enjoy....

Tonight's topic is about Sex!!! When you first start dating someone when is sex expected. I recently had a friend who just started dating a guy and she slept with him two weeks in to the courtship. I told her that was too soon, however later learned in conversation with others that two weeks in pretty standard. Call me old school but I am still trying to figure you out. Now I can admit that I have let a guy give me oral fixation pretty early into the dating game but have not submitted to sex that soon. I will say that I do not make it a habit. I have had sex prematurely but have learned that will seldom lead to anything serious. It's true what they say the way you start something is the way you will end it??? Thoughts
