Weight waits for No One

The beginning of each year we can usually find ourselves setting goals, pumping ourselves up to start working on those goals & eventually achieving our goals or falling short. Every year my personal favorite goal is going on a DIET & EXERCISING! Of course 2009 is no different my #1 goal is to wake up one morning and catch a glimpse of my Beyonce-J.Lo mix'd body in the mirror & smile (and for my Nicki a lil piece of Mariah too)!

My 1st step toward my goal was joining Weight Watchers, attending a weekly meeting, watching what I eat & get some type of exercise in at least 3x/week. This time around I am SO motivated to lose weight: 1) especially after my lil bundle of joy (aka Madison) helped me pack on some extra pounds last year, 2) since turning 30 I've realized my body isn't snapping back like it used to, 3) i can't eat taco bell everyday like I used to & still be cute and 4) I want to be a SESSY MOMMY!

With any goal it's always nice to have a support system, but especially when your on a serious weight loss movement. So if you want to get healthy, eat better, sqeeze in some exercise and bring your SESSY back - let's do it together!

I Need an Eraser!

The Gift of an Eraser

A New Year is upon us,
fresh goals are being set;
But doubts and fears still linger
From past ones we haven’t met.

Erase away those doubts and fears
That you will not succeed.
Commitment and a positive attitude
are really all you need.

You have it in you to reach your goal
Of that I have no fear.
So “erase” those mistakes and look ahead
to a new beginning for a new year.

Please take an eraser
To help you create a clean slate.
Wipe away doubts, fears & failures,

In 2009 you’re going to do GREAT!

Come on girls - start looking for that one yellow pencil you have laying around with that red eraser and cut it off. And NOOOO we're not using the eraser to replace the earring back you lost (don't even think about acting like u don't know what I'm talking about - i know some of you got some east-side running deep in u)

Let's grab our erasers and start 2009 fresh (we're all good its only 19 days in)!
