Today is Day 1, Week 2. It involves more of the Hip Hop Abs with only 2 days of Taebo. I know I have lost inches but that darned scale hasn't moved. I won't stress it though, because I know better. I will keep doing what I have been doing and look forward to seeing results.
I did TaeBo 1 and Fat Burning Cardio today. I admit that I didnt go full force because I was worried about my son, who came home sick from visiting his dad. When I woke him up for school, he was burning with fever. Needless to say, he is home. Then baby girl woke up and she wasnt feeling very well either, after coming home from her dad's house too. We did get out of the door but I turned her around and sent her back to bed. So I will be here at work for only another hour or so, then I will go home to tend to my babies.
After I tend to them, I will get some spring cleaning done. I started some but there are other things that need to be addressed. Nothing like a clean house, and burning calories while I'm at it.
Have a blessed day!

It's A Beautiful Day - Week 1, Day 5
Day 5 is a great day. My Love drove me to work today, which means he also has to pick me up! :) I like.
I did TB1 and FBC today and worked up a sweat doing both. During one of the Taebo moves, the crook of my right arm gets sweaty and makes a suction noise while I'm bending my arm. I think it's funny. I also know I will miss that noise because soon the fat will be gone. I'm not trying to get bony by any means, but the extra on top of the healthy fat is what has to go! I'm working on it!

I'm On a New Mission
Hey y'all. I'm gonna get straight to the point. I'm on a new mission to tackle the big thing I have been afraid of for a very long time! My FAT ASS! Yeah, it's time. Time to get rid of this weight for real, and for good. I don't want to be on the destructive path of self-doubt, depression, anxiety again. It's too much and such a waste of life!
I am tracking my intake at Spark People and figured since I'm doing the blog there, just do it in both places! So welcome to my life, right now! I will do the weight loss tracking and I will also do my art and my everyday! Why not, right?
So here is the catch up: I just started on Monday, February 21, 2011. I am right now on a 4-week schedule doing an old school TaeBo Basic 1 & 2 DVD and Hip Hop Abs. I am following the Hip Hops Abs schedule and adding the TaeBo to make sure I am doing an hour everyday for the four weeks. Today is Day 3.
Day 1:
Taebo 1 - done
Hip Hop Abs - Fat Burning Cardio - done
I can and will do this!!!
Day 2:
TaeBo 1 and Fat Burning Cardio - done
Day 3:
In the evening on Day 2, I got home from work and my son was playing video games in the livingroom. I told him that I had been working out and he said, to paraphrase, "It doesn't matter. You're gonna quit anyway!" WOW....like WOW, you know. But he was absolutely right. There is no way around, over, under it. All that is left for me to do is get through it. And I will. I told him that I needed him to believe in me, to be positive for me, and told him to tell me "You can do it!" He mumbled it a couple of times but it eventually came out clear. Then I started doing the whole "Do you really think I can do it? blah blah blah" crap that I do and do you know what he did? The boy SHUSHED ME! HE SHUSHED ME! Like he was Richie! That was hilarious! I couldn't do anything but laugh!
Yesterday, also, Richie and I were talking on the phone and he mentioned that he noticed that I had lost weight the other day when I undressed. Nice, he noticed! Me likey :)
This morning, Day 3, I got up and did TB1 and Ab Sculpt. That damned Shaun T lied when he said you didnt have to get on the floor to do his workouts. But it was fine. I managed and did everything sufficiently. Practice makes muscle! :)
That's all for now! Talk to you later!

The Random
I didn't have any deodorant to put on today. I will rectify that right after work.
I want a career change. I've prayed on it and will update my resume this week.
I painted on canvas for the first time in months this past weekend. I missed it so.
I love my iPhone and want to upgrade to the 3Gs. I will not get #4. Too many problems.
My son broke my camera this summer. I am sad about it.
But I will get the new Nikon CoolPix 4000 something. Yes I will!
I am still decorating my house but I am in no rush.
I ordered Hip Hop Abs because I wanna have fun in the AM with Shaun T.
Yes, I really ordered it. I can't wait to start.
I wanna quit my job and recharge for a few months but I can't.
I need to go back to school but really can't afford it.
This may sound bad to some, but I finally blasted into my oldest daughter and it felt good to finally let it out.
I have prayed and will continue to do so and speak to God about the next steps in that situation.
God is awesome and I am so glad He loves me!
I miss you all! That is who all is still checking my blog to see if I post before they delete me altogether!
Peace!

Because HE Makes It All Good In HIS Time....
To The Father, I give all the Glory! He is indeed, a way-maker and a miracle worker.
All three of my kids graduate this month (high school, junior high and elementary)
My oldest invited me to her graduation in Delaware on June 6th.
I called my sister and wept right into the phone from happiness.
I thanked the Father for his blessings.
I drove straight there after we moved from the old apartment to the new one.
My oldest let me hug her and give her a big kiss (my heart was over the moon!)
This morning, she sent me a friend request on Facebook and we are now "friends".
Today is my son's 15th birthday.
He is so handsome and smart.
He was offered a summer job with my company.
He graduates on June 23rd.
My youngest is growing up great too.
She is so pretty and smart.
She is graduating on June 24th.
I wish she could get a job too but 10-1/2 year olds only get to go to camp! LOL
My Love is awesome to me and my children and I am happy.
The dog is doing well too :)
That's the glory in my days so far this month.
Talk to you later,
Charisse

The Return of Real Women and Singing
This weekend I fell in love with Toni Braxton all over again! I am relieved that she has gotten over the "trying to compete with the young girls" phase she was going through and found her niche! To me, this video and this song screams "Yeah, we been together a long time, but I can still put it on you better than them young girls 'cause I am a grown woman who knows you inside and out!!! Now go home to your wife and love her with all you got!" Thanks Toni.
That's it for now. Enjoy!
That's it for now. Enjoy!
