Day 19…No Turning Back Now

I have completed my workout for today. I feel pretty good, but my left knee gave me a fit. Part of this weight loss journey for me is to help relieve the swelling and pressure on my knees. So, I can’t afford the alternative, which is surgery to replace my knees. I push through theContinue reading “Day 19…No Turning Back Now”

Daylight Has Come

I woke up and sat straight up on the side of the bed this morning. I was sweating because it was hot 🥵. So, I got up and started my day. I didn’t make my bed like I normally do but I wasn’t concerned. Once I left I noticed how beautiful the sky was. ItContinue reading “Daylight Has Come”

Late Night Early Morning Thoughts

I woke up because I was having a bad dream and my whole right arm was numb. We’re in Mercury Retrograde right now and my body and mind are all over the place. When this happens my sleep pattern changes for the worse. I’m awakened out my sleep, I dream a lot more and notContinue reading “Late Night Early Morning Thoughts”

Disparities In Health Affect More Than Patients

I wish there were a world where separatism, racial bias, and discrimination doesn’t exist. Sadly, it does, and we have to learn to handle it and address it when needed. There are so many times as a Black Nurse I would like to point out things that affect people of color that may or mayContinue reading “Disparities In Health Affect More Than Patients”

Wait Til I Tell You About My Day 18, SMH!

Halfway through and still pumping. I wanted someone else to do my workout for me today. Lord knows I didn’t feel up to it at all. But guess who bust it out? Me, that’s who, lol.

Missed Me Friday, Day 15?

Yes, I didn’t post Friday for day 15 because I was too tired. Now, I had every intention, but when my head hit the pillow, I didn’t even remember falling asleep. It’s funny how doing a lot and doing a little can have the same outcome. I mean, I can rest all day Saturday andContinue reading “Missed Me Friday, Day 15?”

Day 14, So Listen

I ain’t gonna start blowing smoke up your hineparts. Today, I’m tired, a little under the weather, and didn’t want to work out.

Day 13 and A Little Less Mean

So y’all working out has brought out many emotions in me. Like, I’m literally a moody person, but exercising escalates certain moods. Like I can feel like I want to hit something, and it makes me workout harder. When I’m emotional, I tend to go slower with more intention. Either way, I can feel myContinue reading “Day 13 and A Little Less Mean”

Day 12, Oh Well

I got right to it when I came home today, and I’m feeling just fine. I sent in pictures and was talking to my coach about not having gained or lost any weight within these last 2 weeks. She asked how my eating, stress levels, and water intake was. I can’t lie, drinking water isContinue reading “Day 12, Oh Well”
