Day #1 (Training)

Ok, so I had personal training & I made the HUGE MISTAKE of telling my trainer that I was cleansing!!! (Ugh! I should have known better!) So I'm on the treadmill & I get dizzy so he takes me off the treadmill & on to the stationary bike (which I HATE by the way). Ok, granted, that was ok. After the warm up I was ready to get it in with the ab work incorporated with weights, We tried doing one exercise where I was standing up, having to pull my hands down & bring my leg up all while pulling weights to crunch the obliques. I did do a few of those, but (again) as I got light-headed he took me off that machine & we exercised strictly without weights & on the floor mat. I was SO UPSET!! I told him that I was ok, but it didn't matter!! Ugh!!! When it was all said & done we exercised for all of 20 minutes & he told me to go home. I mean I understand the whole looking out for me aspect, but I know my body well enough to know that I could have sustained the full session. Ugh! I went home & finished out the night gracefully. I will admit that it was hard cooking dinner for my son last night & not eating ANY. I just had to live through the aroma of the chicken breast, okra & chicken & broccoli rice. So I took my Master Clease drink, grabbed my water & that was that. After day #1 I will say that all went well. I feel good & i'm confident that I will continue to do well. It's time to turn in & I am about to be out like Homer Simpson! Goodnight bloggers!!

BEFORE I SIGN OFF: Here is my quote for the night  - "Be miserable. Or motivate yourself. Whatever has to be done, it’s always your choice."

Day One at 3:15 PM

So, it's 3:15PM & I must say that all is still well. I am not craving food (yet) & I am on my second bottle of the cleanse that I made when I went home on my lunch break. I've been drinking plenty of water & thus far nothing is happening beyond a nunber 1. I think that if I did the flush then more would have happened by now, but I can wait. LOLOL!!!

The only thing that I REALLY HATE about this cleanse is that it makes your breath really TART! Ugh!! I mean can I have some sugarless gum or SOMETHING~! Got me talking to people at a further distance so I don't make them faint. LOL! It's the WORSE!!!

Anyway, that's just my afternoon update. All is still good & pressing on. Ttyl bloggers!

Master Cleanse - Day #1

I'm BAAAAAAACK!!!

Good Morning Bloggers!!

It's Maria & I must say that I am glad to be back. I chose to start posting blogs again to keep those (who keep up with me) updated about my day-to-day experience on The Master Cleanse Diet. It's Monday October 24, 2011 & 9:00AM & I am so ready to start! I have everything that I need: my lemonade drink, water & Smooth Move tea. Now, I don't do the salt water flush, but I still get results! The reason why I choose not to do the flush is because I just can't stand it! Been there! Tried that! Can't take that! Moved on! This is my seond time really doing this diet & the first time I did lose 15lbs in 10 days. Needless to say it still works without it.

By it being my first day & by it being so early I don't have much to post yet. I will say that I have been drinking my mixture & I can feel it starting to take effect. I will post throughout the day if needed, but for now it's time to start my journey......

Here are my stats:

Measurements:
Chest - 37
Waist - 32
Hips - 39
Arms - 10.5
Calfs - 14

Starting Weight: 152lbs <--Ugh! & it's all in my STOMACH!!!! Gotta get these toxins OUT!! Let's GOOOOO!!!!

My Website......

Orange Juice Anyone. . . .?

Good evening my good followers. First off let me apologize for not posting anything lately although I've had some funny moments. Today's story post however, is coming from another trip at the grocery store. Here goes:

Ok, so this time I'm at Giant (grocery store) with my son and I walk all the way down to where they have the orange juice and whatnot. So without thinking I leave and go to the opposite side of the store just to come to the realization that I forgot to get the orange juice. So I'm talking to my son and I say,"Man! I forgot to get the orange juice and I don't feel like walking back down there to get it." So one of the guys who works there overhears my conversation & says, "What are you looking for? Orange juice with no pulp?" I in turn reply and tell him yeah, but I'm not walking back down there.

So obviously the next thing that happens is that he offers to get the juice for me. Ok, granted he gets it. When he comes back this fools asks what is my favorite restaurant? I'm thinking to myself here we go again and I say, "Excuse me?" He gets close to my face (bad breath and all causing me to have to hold my breath while he talks) and says, "I want to take you to your favorite restaurant and go have some fun." WTH?! Inspite of what I wanted to say I try to be nice you guys and simply say,"Um, no thank you. I'm good" and walk away. My thingis this if you want to do something then do it out of the kindess of your heart not because you're trying to get something out of it. Ugh!! Plus to top it off he broughtme the wrong type of orange juice. So I had to end up walking back down there anyway to get the right brand. See, too busy trying to get all up in it ain't even bring the right thing back. Ugh!!!

Something About Him

***Another poem this time:***



What is it about this man

that has me this way?

I want to learn him inside and out

because all this daydreaming,

make-believing

& fantasizing is no longer going to do.

What is it about this man

that's so intrigueing

& enticing to my existence that

everytime I see him my heart skips a beat?

His kisses leave me wanting more.

His scent lingers on my skin

like the white on rice

causing me to go crazy!!

His touch caresses me

& makes me melt

makes me want to just freeze frame in time

& never let him go.

What is it about this man

that makes me feel sexy?

Makes me feel like

while in each other's presence

I'm the only one that matters to him?

But the reality reassures me

as we go our separate ways

that we are not obligated to each other.

I don't know what it is about this man

that has me feeling the way I do.

Is it stimulating conversations that we have

& making us realize that we have some things in common?

Is it the fact that

from the first time I saw him

I could see what others (possibly) failed to see?

The potential of what could be

if only he had that extra push and encouragement?

I don't know what it is about this man

but he's got me wanting him!

Sexy

I posted this on facebook based on the replies that I received from a status post. Just to clue you in this is what my status message said:

***SEXY ISN'T A LOOK*** It's not sumthin you have to try to be. It's not small clothes, weave, make up, cleavage, body, shoes, none of that! This is what we've been taught. TRUE SEXY is the person! True Sexy is the Virtuous Woman! TRUE SEXY makes a man's HEART jump not his you know what!! Sexy comes natural. It's not something that's taught!

**Now here is the poem that I wrote:

How can I bring something back that never left my possession?
Sexy!
Got that appeal that can't be granted
but one that I graced this earth with since day one.
Got that stride as though no one can come close to comparison
& all eyes are on me.
Got that confidence not to be mistaken for cockiness
stating that I am secure with myself
& I can't be intimidated.
Sexy!
Can't bring it back because it's always been in my grasp.
It's in my smile
It's in my laugh
it's in the way that I bite the corner of my lip
It's in the way that I take a sip out my wine glass
Sexy!
It's in the way that I push the hair back behind my ear.
The way that I lean my head to the side without realizing.
It's in the way that I can please my significant other
Time after time and still leave him wanting more
Keeping him from having to find it elsewhere
Sexy!
Being able to light up the room without having to utter a single syllable.
Sexy!
It's in the way that I carry myself
Nothing arrogant about me though
Down to earth
Loves to laugh
& just being able to live.
It's in the titles that I withold.
It's in the curves that hug my anatomy
It's in the knowledge & wisdom that I speak
Now that's Sexy!
That's just me!
Me is all I can be,
But DAMN!

My WTH Moment. . . .

Good evening everybody. How you guys doing? How was your day? Me? My day was going great and of course I have a little something you might find funny. Here goes:


So, I'm on my lunch break walking to my car from the CVS Pharmacy and I accidentally drop my keys. I hurry up do a quick drop down & pick them up so I can continue about my business. All of a sudden I hear, "Umph! The way you picked up those keys tells me what I need to know about you." As I look up and say a faint, "WTH!" & kept it moving. After that Iim thinking that all is good and dude is gone. WRONG! I turn around & this dude just stands there while I walk away. So I just look away, smirk, shake my head and get in my car. I'm thinking to myself 'dude please continue where you were going because I do not have the time!'

As I reflect back on that guys are funny for real!! LOL!

All I Need is 10 Minutes Man!!! LOL!

Good afternoon everybody. Here I am again with another post for my daily encounter.





Here it goes: MAN! I'm sitting here at my desk with my eyes closed trying to get at least 10 minutes of shut-eye & all of a sudden I here, "Excuse me ma'am." As I open my eyes I see this student who is just standing there and he already looks annoying so I KNOW he is about to annoy me some more!! While he is explaining what it is that he wanted I'm sitting there thinking to myself, "DUDE! Don't you see me trying to get some REST! What do you WANT!!!! Geeez!" Then come to find out the question he asked was already answered earlier this week by ME! Man I woke up for THIS!

I'm Curious to Know. . .

Please note that this post isn't meant to offend anybody. It's just a question.

Why is it that the males who are gay or have strong female tendencies switch harder than females when they walk? I had a student come to my office today and it's no surprise that he is gay because he makes it known. As he is walks pass my office he is walking harder than I do and sticking his butt out as he walks. I just never understood why they try so hard? Can someone please explain that to me because I'm baffled?? Again, I'm sorry if this offended anybody, but that was not my intention.
