Exercise Journal Entry #4

"If you don't do what's best for your body, you're the one who comes up on the short end."

- Julius Erving

Hey lovelies!

So...I know it's been a while since my last journal entry. I had to take a slight hiatus because of a Basic Training Retreat with City Year Detroit! wOOt! I wasn't able to film my weight loss for the week because I didn't really have access to a scale...lol! I got to do a BUNCH of team building and I have to say that this group of people are the COOLEST people I have ever come across! :)

Sidenote: We went to Camp Cavell in the wonderful city of Lexington, MI. The camp site was right off Lake Huron which made for some very lovely pictures!




Back to my weight loss journey...

I do have some good news to report:

I'VE LOST 5 POUNDS SO FAR!!!!!

It may not sound like a lot, but you have to learn to crawl before you can walk... I will do another video shortly to talk more about my regimen.

Peace,

Exercise Motivational Video

"You must begin to think of yourself as becoming the person you want to be." - David Viscott

Hey y'all!

As I was chilling and trying to figure out a way to fall asleep, I decided to watch some videos from my favorite videoblogger BeautifulBrwnBabyDol. One of my most favorite videos is her video documenting her total weight loss. It is so inspirational because I often get discouraged when I think about how much weight I have to lose in order to get down to my healthy weight range. Hopefully this video serves as an inspiration for y'all as well. Here's the vid:

Enjoy lovies!

New Exercise Journal...

"Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence." - Unknown

Hey y'all!

After careful consideration, I've decided to start up my exercise regimen again...Not only am I starting up again, I am also documenting my journey every step of the way. I'm going to call the blogs dedicated to this journey my Exercise Journal. I'm doing this to keep myself motivated as well as accountable for any slip-ups I may have.

This is not just a temporary diet for me, this is a LIFESTYLE CHANGE! During this weight loss period, I plan to learn to eat more healthily, create a workout regimen for daily exercise and I will be documenting the entire process. I will be filming weigh-ins and workout sessions, as well as providing sample meals for myself as well as others...

Here is the intro to my Exercise Journey:

Mane Chic Michelle

"Natural, beautiful color on the face. We want the casualness of the hair and it's sort of rumpled, you know--but it's done with intention. So it's not just letting your hair go naturally, but we've created the natural." - Donna Karan

Hey fellow curlies!

I'm delighted to say that I was recently featured on one of my favorite natural hair blogs Indulgenceiskey. She started a new segment on her blog entitled Mane Chic (pronounced sheek) and I was blessed to her first feature! To see my feature, click here. Hope y'all enjoy it!

Be blessed,
