It’s been awhile since I’ve posted. Mainly, a job transition took me from one magazine to another preventing the continuance of this blog… at least that’s my excuse. Nevertheless, I find myself drawn back to a blog spot that will hold me accountable to a serious lifestyle change. From losing weight to losing negative people … Continue reading »
Lil’ Black Dress
I’ve skipped two weeks on my blog and weigh-in. Oops! I’ve been so busy with work and my little one that I gave up thinking about it. I guess you can say I have been on a “Get Fit hiatus”! Am I okay with that? No, not unless you call cussing your closet every day … Continue reading »
ME LOVE COOKIES!
Back when everybody used their doppelgänger as their Facebook profile picture, I didn’t have to think too hard as to who mine would be. A Cookie Monster icon was downloaded from the internet and promptly uploaded onto my profile photo. Since I can remember, my favorite sweet-treat has been cookies.

My seven year old daughter jumps in the kiddy pool, so I close my eyes and drink the sun that’s warming my face. I drift into a light dream of the future, where I’m … Continue reading »
Look back, but just for a minute!
Who is that girl in the tight jeans with a drink spilled down the front of her? ME, 33 less pounds ago! I’m going to be honest. I’m embarrassed to admit I gained so much weight. But, I did and I’m very excited that I have finally turned the corner to see that I need … Continue reading »
“Sister, it’s time for a change!”
I don’t want to have to lose weight. Why do I have to be the one who yo-yos? Why can’t I just stay fit and trim, naturally? My body was once featured in Fitness magazine, I was once a Miss NC USA contestant and I once worked out 4 times a week and walked daily. … Continue reading »
