Water that Good Ole H2O

Water is essential to losing weight and keeping yourself healthy and hydrated.  So on my morning stroll through Whole Foods I found the water section.  

*Side Note* that store is just too cool.  I occasionally just walk through it not buying anything...you know passing time and seeing what new products I can discover.  

Back to the water.  Well there is an entire aisle of different size bpa free water bottles and glass bottles you can choose from.  I have a water dispenser at home that supports those 5 gallon jugs.  I absolutely love it.  At Whole Foods you can refill you bottles for about 0.39/gallon or you can go to Walmart or Publix and refill for about 0.33/gallon.  Either way my point here is that it is cheap filtered water but delicious.  So there is no reason anyone shouldn't be getting their recommended amount water intake per day.

Water is where it's at and yes sometimes it is a chore for me to get the whole gallon down, but that is why they make enhancers.  But be careful with some of the products they call "enhancers" these days check the ingredients.  Everything that says it is "Healthy" is not always healthy for you.

So my health friends and those striving to be healthy by taking it one step at a time:

GET A JUG AND FILL IT UP WITH WATER

Henna - Natural Hair Coloring

Ok so on this past Wednesday I took a big leap of faith and dyed my hair with Henna. I wanted a reddish tint instead of the orangey color i have been wear foe close to a year.

After many hours, websites, and YouTube videos of research I just went for it.

I used the following ingredients:
-100mg of Henna
-juice of 1 lemon
-3 drops of peppermint oil
-about 2 cups of green tea

Mix all the ingredients up in a wooden bowl with a plastic spatula and made basically a mess of mud.

I let the mud sit on my hair for about 3 1/2 hours, then conditioned it out (note i said condition not shampoo).

The picture shows the before on the left and results on the right.

I am highly satisfied with my color. It cost me less than $5 to achieve. I will definitely be doing this again in a couple of months.

The truth the real truth

Yesterday's doctor appointment made it abundantly clear that a life change is definitely needed. I'm taking this 30 days at a time.

Below are my weapons of defense to fighting for a better healthier way of living:

-Spiritual Support
-Family Support
-Great Friends. (Shout out to Lea, Tam and Hamm)
-Herbalife
-My Publix family (they always are so helpful in the grocery store)
-TriStar Physicians Group (great doctors to make sure my health is improving)
-Planet Fitness 24hr gym (a must)
-Inferno Fitness family (support and tips never go unnoticed)

Alright I believe that is quite and arsenal of support. Can't wait to see the results on May 1st


Peace out

I Am Back

Real talk it has been quite a while since I have posted. However, I am back and more determined than ever to get this healthy living journey revved back up.

I have a new look on life, a new attitude, a new support group. This time I'm kicking butt and taking names.

Please join on my journey. In the words of Justin Timberlake, " I'm bringing sexy back, yeah"

Education Is the KEY

As I continue to look back on my life; I see the journey that I have taken. It hasn't been easy but it has been a very fulfilling adventure


I'm excited about getting more education in the computer technology field.

You are never too old to dream and never too old to make those dreams come true.

Peace and blessings

taking a time out to think

The other day I tried to empty my mind and relax. I found it very hard and disturbing that I couldn't relax. I couldn't clear my thoughts I couldn't focus on being at peace.

So I decided to play some soothing sounds of nature. I listened to the sound of a thunderstorm via an android application. I begin to think about raindrops on my skin and sitting out in the rain watching the natural fireworks.

I figured out to put my mind at ease and give it a break. It was a wonderful experience one that I will continue to do. Quite refreshing to just relax and not worry about the troubles of the day for just a few minutes.

Get your mind relaxation on

Peace love and healing of the mind body and soul
