#6WSP: Nutrition
Day 1 of the 6 week sweat plan, so before I begin annihilating stored calories, I got to make sure I fueled my body with good calories that’ll help me oxidize the fat.
The nutrition program I have is not difficult at all; no calorie counting, no macronutrient data collection, no point system-just good ol’ common sense nutrition.
This meal plan is loose; meaning I have a bevy of...

6 Week Sweat Plan
Welcome to my 6WSP courtesy of CrossFit Endurance….
If you are like me, and have limited amount of time to work out because: 1) you work in excess of 10 hours a day, mostly on your feet, 2) have stopped making your body, health and sanity a priority, 3) are bored with your old routine, you may want to try out CrossFit Endurance. It was suggested to me by my peer, Susan Stanley, who just...

The Hiatus
So you’ve took notice that I’ve been on hiatus for some months now.
What you don’t know is that I’ve been working in the background (consider it research), trying to put some major pieces of my puzzle back together. In doing so, I was able to find my personal reset button, that so desperately needed to be activated.
So with all the chaos just about sorted, it’s...

BBD: bigger booty plan
So you’re looking to squeeze that bump-bump-bump into something spicy for warm weather season, here’s some tips.
1) start with a stretch. Yes ladies, stretching out your legs and lower back actually increases your range of motion. Increasing your range of motion activates all your muscles in your targeted and surrounding areas.
2) next “kill” the quads and then your...

1 month down, 4 more to go.
So it’s been 1 month of building (lifting heavy, eating A LOT). Progress is going well, slow, but well. I just have to keep going and remember that in order to reach my goals it takes a lot of time and dedication! It’s around this time that I usually get off track and…

The Bigger Booty Diary
I know what I want and I’m going to get it; mark my words.
Not that my rear is flailing in the wind, it’s not. It’s an average size derrière, but who the hell wants to be average.
I want to be plump, suckle and voluminous. I want to fill my jeans, shorts and skirts with a nice round tight Glute. I’m sure my man won’t mind this either. :)
Of course with a nice...

To drop this body fat.
Over the last few weeks, I haven’t been following a set meal plan and it has been fantastic. Being exposed to amazing drinks like Morrir Sonando (Orange Juice and Milk) and fried plantains, hasn’t really done much to the waist line.
Nutrition will be based around carb cycling. There will be a series of low and high days, the high days will be based on...

#realtalk PSA: Quit Toxic People
They come in all sizes, shapes and will hide behind an assortment of smiles, “please, thank you, i love you, hey you’re the best”; but behind their gleaming exterior, they are quite toxic inside.
You know them; they drain you of your highs, pit you down when you’re low. Anything to keep the attention on their narcissistic selves; anything to steal your thunder and warp...

As many of you know, I have recently stopped taking a large number of supplements. As I progress to becoming S.A.N.E, it’s imperative that I remove myself from being totally dependent. The first supplement that had to go was the pre-workout boosters. They are pretty much caffeine that cost around…

#realtalk ep.2: Talking Shat
{Alright, not in the figurative sense here; more like the literal sense. Follow me here.}
Am I the only one who is sick and tired of food blogs covering the cyber-sphere, with foodies coveting their daily meals with snapshots of what’s to be devoured. They seduce us with their treats and nutrient replenishments but fail to discuss the other end of the digestive process:
Their Shit.

#realtalk ep.2: Find Your Reflection
{caution: long rant here. Story takes place 8 months ago}
“Janessa, do I really have to do before and after shots?” “Without a doubt”, I replied.
Begrudgingly she complied, stripping down to bare clothes, awkwardly staring at herself in the mirror. Contorting her body to hide the imperfections derived from poor lifestyle choices of yesteryears.
The mirror is...

#realtalk episode 1
(for the umpteenth time) you will NOT lose weight by joining a gym. A membership does not guarantee weight loss. A DIET (Did I Eat That?) doesn’t equate to fat loss. No magic trick can save you, if all you ever do is sabotage your efforts.
I don’t care what potion, powder or pill you inject, sniff or slurp, you are not guaranteed results. The warning labels on the bottle blatantly...
