Healthy Living, for the summer body!

First of all, I just want to say that, I congratulate all the beautiful full body curvy*licious* ladies.
Who hold their figure..
These are my inspiration for this summer.

In some of my previous post, I ranted about gym, and how I need to go more often, but as always there was an excuse why I wasn't going.

Most of these excuse were because of my studies and me being ill, but now I am done with exams and I'm perfectly healthy, no reason not to go right? WRONG! I didn't  go to the gym for about a week even when I had finished my exams. But this whole week I have been such an excellent girl.

Since Monday I have been going to the gym again. I do atlas an hour and half each session. I mostly strive to achieve two hours but as i just started to attend recently, I get tired so easily. I am taking things slow so hopefully I will be burning up to 1000calories a day.

I don't want to loose any weight, I am already a Uk dress size 8, which means US size 6, Europe size 36. I am 5.8, or 174cm tall, so I shouldn't be any slimmer for the normal person. I just want tone up an build some muscles. Not huge ones, just lean, feminine ones.

What I do at the Gym, I do a lot of card exercises, I usually do 30 minutes cardio on the treadmill,

Then another 30minutes on the cross trainer, by then I should have burned over 500calories.

Then I go to a class, Mondays I do "Body Pump" or "Pilates"(for posture)

Tuesday I do, Legs, Bums and Tums. Its like aerobics.

Wednesday I do Cardio blitz,

Thursday is Zumba day 

and Friday is Max Step or Zumba

Saturday and Sunday I use for resting or if I missed a day for the week I will catch up. 

We all know that, you can exercise 20hours a week but, If you don't watch what goes in your body, it will all be a waste of time and energy.

I on the other hand, I'm lucky, Sometimes I have a huge appetite, most times I don't. Carbs is the devil preventing you from having the perfect bodies. Most of these gorgeous women above have excluded them from their diet, or have only a minimum. Carbs is a source of energy. Being Ghanaian or African, or Black in general, I love my rice, cassava, plantain, yam, cocoyam... so no way in heaven I'm i giving that up for a "labeled" perfect body. No matter how much I want it :)

So I found a way that work for me, small portions. I don't have the time nor the interest to prepare 5small meals a day, so usually I try not eat after 7 and, if I am gonna have a heavy meal for dinner, I have it for lunch instead. Also I drink lots of water, and eat lot of tangerines, like 3 a day.

"They are a good source of vitamin C, they also contain potassium, magnesium, vitamin B1, B2, B3. A new research suggest that, not only does it protects against obesity but it also prevents 2 forms of diabetes and  atherosclerosis, the underlying disease responsible for most heart attacks and strokes."

I also adore Strawberries

And Kiwi's

Its a rich source of vitamin-C, It also contains vitamin-A and vitamin-E.

The seed contains omega 3, and a medium size kiwi is about 46calories, so you can have like 2 and be satisfied. 

It seems like I have healthy lifestyle, trust me, I don't at all, I try when I can teat healthy but, when I am not bothered, double quarter pounder and bacon, plus milkshake becomes my friend. I only see him every now and then though. I aways feel guilty so I visit his enemy the gym after.

Any how, my exercise regime is to drink lots of water, eat a lot of tangerine and other fruits, have weetabix for breakfast and have fish at least once a week. Also every mill has to be a small portion, and try not to eat after 7pm. 

Diary Of A Shallow Black Girl

Trey Songz 28th Feb 2011

Trey Songz's, last night was a crazy. I got to wear my blue dress from 'get the label' dot com and my lace up wedges ankle books from Simmies shoes.  I was very excited about last night even though this was the second time I saw him, the first one was courtesy to Zateesha's mother. I had excitement bursting out of me like bubbles which I think was mainly to do with the fact that I had not been out in months. Just recently I completed a 'killer' assignment. I would have gone out any way, but Trey Songz was the bonus!

 I would love to say that we were misled last night, but that might not be such an appropriate way to describe it, so I will say, they build up our expectation and delivered us a small portion of that, now most people say last night was awful. But those were the people who decided to stay in the crowd in front  of the stage. I understand how your adrenaline pumps up when you are so close, close enough you feel you could touch him... And for some reason you feel that touch will answer all your question. For ever since you've know about him, you've planned your babies...house...and your lives together. I understand this so well because not long ago I too was infatuated by these people (Omarion to be precise lmao), and I too would push, shove, yank to get my way to front. Well I only ever do that for Omarion, but I don't think I will do that again, the image of being a lady is too important to me.

Long story short, I decided to stay away from that sweaty dirty crowd, and I am glad I did, I found a great spot on the stairs with a good view of everything that went on. From that view, when you are looking down on everyone, you see how stupid it is, reaching out for somebody who's out of your league' not that he's too good for you, but the chances of you and him is 99.99% unlikely. I have established to myself after the last time I saw Omarion,that I am no longer a fan, but a supporter, some who will appreciate good music, good art good fashion, good film/acting, and choose to support that, but not idolize these celebrities anymore.

My opinion of him, Trey Songz is that he came on a bit arrogant, the first time I saw him in the 02 with J Holiday, I enjoyed J Holiday's show so much better, he can siiiiinnnng!!! When Trey came on he seemed too full of himself.. I like I am sexy, worship me sorta way... But those days I was whooped lol.

Now seeing him again last night with a whole different perspective, I was able to see things a bit more unbiased. Last night he came across as arrogant again. He was meant to be on around 1:00am, my guy did not arrived there till 2:40 am. When he came on the stage for about 5minutes he was just walking across the stage like it was his cat walk, now mind you, we might have paid to see him but by that time most people were angry! And not bothered anymore.


In my opinion his whole presence was overwhelming and not in a positive way. he was too full of himself, requested so many drinks so he can pour on people. Peoples weaves loool... I had no weave in my hair but that hair cost me and I would not have been very please. I do not think last night was worth a dime but to be honest he is super sexy! :D

Not many people have positive comments regarding the night, but I guess you can't always enjoy everything.

 P.s my camera went funny on me :D

Lets Talk About ...Blake Lively

Like most people, I discovered Blake Lively from the phenomenal show ‘Gossip Girl’, alongside the other cast members, who are now my favorite actors and actresses.

Blake plays the, Oh so enchanting Serena, the beautiful dream of many with the Golden locks and fair shimmering skin. lol watch me go

Blake is ever so beautiful even outside the character of Serena, And I being obsessed with the show have become attach to the characters in and outside Gossip Girl.

I love the Serena’s wardrobe and I now I am totally over the moon with that of Blake. She seems like a very lovely person, if I knew her we would be great friends. Lol.

Emma Watson

Every guy I know is going "googoo....gaagaa" on Emma Watson, frankly i think the have every right to. The girl looks really amazing. Life has treated her well and she has grown very beautifully and sexy!! *no homo*(saying no homo is so homo) enough about my talks, see for yourself.

        

Demi Lovato Gets Treatment for Physical and Emotional Issues

It has been reported by  Lovato's representatives that, she is seeking help for emotional and physical issues. The statement did not specify the issues the 18-year old disney star is dealing with.
Demi shocked her fans with the news of her leaving the Jonas Brothers tour to get help for these issues.
I want to wish Demi and her family strength, and wish Demi a quick recover.

No more Belle Amie

Four girl group Belle Amie are no longer on The X Factor. They stoop up against Katie Waissel  on tonights eviction.(though i am not a big fan of her) I think it was pretty clare from then that the ladies were about to be sent home. I think it was a good idea that they got put together, listening to them tonight i do not think they had any chance standing alone. But i do want t wish them well done and good luck, we will miss them, but they should not give up.

Rihanna on The X factor

Good Girl Gone Bad Rihanna performed her new single Only Girl In The World on The X Factor show tonight. I am not a big fan of RiRi since the whole rumours about her association with the Three Masons. But I must say i enjoyed her performance and I like what she was wearing. She always have a way of almost anything. I did not really like the vocals but i am no expert on singing, but all in all it was very entertaining to watch especially the food fight. I wonder is she did that deliberately to mess up the stage.

Fashion

"Give a girl the right shoes, and she can conquer the world. - Marilyn Monroe

What is fashion?

What is style?

What is trend?

What is in and what is out?

In my own words, fashion is what you make it to be, style what you want it to be, trend is what you set. What's in is what you bring, what's out is what you've left in the past.

You should not be a follower but always be a leader. It is good to have the latest things in fashion but its not a necessity if you can't afford it. Make use of what you have, remember its not about the label but about how you wear it. Fashion is you, its what you make it. Be brave like Lady Gaga, some of her outfits, (okay all of her outfits) would be considered by you and I as ridiculous but look at how she rocks them nicely. Be yourself wear what inspires you. And let others follow you

BE COURAGEOUS 

BE FIERCE

BE UNIQUE
