New Year, New You

So True


I never really understood the whole new years resolution thing. I mean i know people make them only to never really do them. I honestly don't believe in making them. Some of the things that I would like to accomplish are some things that I already have been implementing. Like for example, my weight, I got my weight up so i actually made that goal before the new year (I weigh 104 lbs now my goal is to get toned so i can be fine lol), i got a new computer (thank God). The things I really wanna do is get my license, work on finishing school, loosen up, and join a particular greek organization (not gonna spill the beans on which one). Hopefully I can do them all this year. If not, I will try not to beat myself up over it.  Again, these are not resolutions, these are just things to better myself with. Oh and the most important one: get a better relationship with Jehovah. Without him, nothing will be possible. I have a lot of hope for this yearend maybe you do too.

End is Near

No not the end of the world silly lol. I mean the end of the year is near. By the way, Sorry I haven't put a new post in a lil minute. I think the last one I did I was one nutrition or getting in shape...something. But as the year draws near I like to reflect on the ups and downs that I have experienced this year. The good the bad and the extremely ugly. As the new year approaches, I actually have optimism brewing inside of me. I for one am growing up (I'm super new to Apple) lol and I'm doing quite well with my exercising regime. i even have maintained my weight of over 100 pounds!!!

All in all I just want to say that as the new years comes and this year ends, take time to reflect. Reflect on who you are, where you are in life, where you been and where you will go. Remember to keep Jehovah first in your life and strive to live and continuing live your life in him! Be good to people and...just take care of yourself:  physically, mentally, and spiritually.

Black in Latin America

The Spanish culture has always been something that I was interested in honestly. I am intrigued by it and I love learning about Latin people and culture. So as I went through YouTube, I saw the documentary Black in Latin America. I watched the different countries that they featured in the documentary series. So enjoy these several different countries

The Skinny on Being Skinny

I have problems with being underweight. Well I once was underweight and it took me a really long time to gain it to where I am at currently. I would like to be a little bit bigger so I am going to do all I can by doing so, and in the healthy way. I know that summer is almost over and that usually people try to look great preparing for summer but hey I'm backwards lol. Actually my journey to gaining weight is year long and some may say, gain weight? but  yes! being underweight is just as an issue as it is losing weight its just that obesity is such a big deal in this country that being underweight is looked over. I have always been self conscious about how skinny I am so I really decided to put things into high gear and gain weight the right way (as right as I know how and what I can afford). So I went online, YouTube actually, and looked up some videos and Buffie the Body's videos came up. I became super motivated because she got her body by eating and exercise. So I plan on eating how she mentioned she eats and exercising so wish me luck guys!

Time to get Physical!!!

I have a goal to be more fit by my birthday which is in a little over a month! So these are some videos that I'm gonna use to help me on my journey. Maybe they will help you too! What exercises are you guys into?

Precious Premie

Recently my world was rocked a bit by the misccariage of my friend's(who i also call my cousin) baby girl.The baby was born four months premature and only lived a couple of hours. It broke my heart to see someone who I am close to go through this. Its painful to have to bury your child. And not only that, but to also know that you have to deliver a baby that you know will not survive.
It really got me thinking. Are there ways to prevent things like this from happening? That's when I looked up information from the march of dimes website. Its amazing the things that have come from research ad how they are helping to change the lives of millions. Below is the main website for March of Dimes. See how you can get involved. You may save the life of another premature infant.
 This experience really showed me how precious life is and how we truly should not take anything for granted. Be blessed

Eat Mor Chikin

I for one is sick and tired of people attacking Chick-fil-A because of its views on homosexuality and marriage. People tend to  forget about our right to free speech and to go attacking this company is ridiculous. First and for most, let me just say that I am not prejudiced against homosexuals (I just went to a wedding of a friend who just happens to be gay). Do I totally agree with his lifestyle choice: no. But do i accept him for who he is: yes. I respect his life decision and I care deeply for him and will support him in any way I can.  I say all of this because I feel that people tend to just shove their beliefs on others or try not to be open minded about things. Are we gonna agree with every decision people or companies make? Nope. So why are people so upset at Chick-fil-A? They simply go by Bible standards. Don't believe me? Go to your Bible look up the following scriptures: Genesis 19, Leviticus 18:22, Leviticus 20:13, 1 Corinthians 6:9-10, and Romans 1:26&27. As you can see, the issue is talked about several times throughout the Bible. Does that mean we should hate homosexuals? No!!! We should show love and respect to everyone, whether we agree with their viewpoints or not. And the Bible do promote love so don't get it twisted. I just don't feel that its fair that people attack a Christian based organization. Besides, are people going to protest a church because it preaches against a homosexual lifestyle? No (at least I hope not).
All of this goes to show how we are truly in the last days. The following scriptures I'm about to post coincides with this situation. In the Bible, it says: Good will be called Evil and Evil will be called Good (Isaiah 5:20); the watering down of the gospel, teaching the doctrines of man rather than those of God (2 Timothy3:5, Matthew 15:9); Increase persecution of Christians (Matthew 24:9, Mark 13:9). 
Am I telling people to hate homosexuals? No!!!!!! I have a few friends who are gay and I care for them no matter what. If you really don't agree with what the company stands for, that's fine. Just don't eat there. You can agree to disagree. Remain respectful. And by the way, a mayor cannot Barr a franchise from opening a resteraunt; that is illegal actually. 

Are you guys really gonna give up on a great chicken sandwich and lemonade that they have to offer?
