Cheerleader Tryouts!

My husband sent this to me and I thought I would share this video with the rest of you. These girls are enjoying themselves and seem to show no shame in their weight or size. There is nothing wrong with not being ashamed of being fat and they should feel good about themselves no one has the right to make another person feel bad. The problem I see in the video is where their size is extremely huge and it seems to me they have no intention on doing anything about their weight. This is the saddest part of the video. They seem to enjoy their extremly large size and I mean one of the girls is so large she can be a cow. The other girl is about the size of smaller cow but extremely large. What they will not talk about is the fact that these girls are sick. Please believe me they are sick.

I just got tired of paying for everything it's was time to free myself. The best part about the jailbreak you can simply uninstall it by resetting the ipod and Apple would never know it was jail broken. Wow.. best part of this deal it was all for free..

Hypnosis Download!

After being sick for the last few days with sneezing, sniffing, coughing, and fever I finally broke free. Now, today is the first day I feel halfway decent but I'm tired from all my body has gone through over the last few days. I've pulled something out of the closet I hadn't thought about using in a while, my hypnosis downloads I purchased and placed on CD's as back up. I've downloaded the hypnosis sessions to my Ipod and created a hypnosis playlist. I figure I better start listening to these CD's again since I'm so tired from being sick and I have no energy. When I lost all that weight over a year ago, I was listening to these CD's rather frequently. I would have to say they work since I was so caught up with exercising that if I didn't exercise I would feel stiff. I couldn't sit still in my chair and work because all I wanted to do was stretch and work out. I certainly hope I can start feeling that way again to lose these last 30lbs. I will keep you posted. Feel free to purchase hypnosis on line at:

News on Haiti

President Obama has promised millions in Aide to Haiti but right now they are in need of water and supplies. I heard UPS is giving free shipping for care packages. I will be going to purchase water later tonight to send to Haiti. After all this news as I continued to read I saw Western China had Avanlanches which have trapped about 5,000 people over there. Please believe me when I tell you there is so much more to come. We haven't seen the worst yet. Mankind has been so selfish and caught up in their own ways and has no respect for nature or it's surroundings so Mankind will pay for being selfish. It's the poor people who suffer the most through all of this. People get in shape so when the time comes you will be able to live through enduring times. What if you had to walk 5 miles? Could you do it right now? What if you had to go without food right now? Could you survive without getting sick or weak? Get in shape and keep your minds in shape because these are going to be some troubled times.

Haiti 7.2 Earthquake! Major devastation...

Well, looks like I was correct there was something coming after-all. We have to rember we are all composed of energy and we have to pay attention to animals. Their behavior is never off and when you see animals trying to flee then you need to follow whatever direction they are going in. This was the tragic mistake many people made with the Tsumai. All the animals started getting out of there. There wasn't a bird, dog, or cat to be seen. I wish I could be there to assist in Haiti but I can guarantee you this the animals started moving out of there. No one paid attention for sure. One thing for sure people will learn to stop, look, and listen. Animals still use their senses and they can feel the vibration in earth. I do not care what is happening in your life. Pay attention to earth's first signs which are your animals such as birds, cats, dog, even ants... Pay attention becuase those who know what is about to occur do not release information and warnings because they fear people will go mad or crazy. That is not their decision. Therefore, you have to rely on the one thing you know best. They are never wrong, your animals take time to pay attention to their behaviors and how they gather and move around. This is your first sign that something is underway. I've listed below a website where you can read where even a mouse can predict earthquakes... Please people they will not warn us you have to pay attention to your surroundings.

Slept like a baby!

I've made some adjustments to my schedule and now I use the treadmill to run for 1 mile. My goal is to run 1 mile in less than 12 minutes. Afterwards, I go directly to the pool to start working out. My only problem is the water's PH, I can't see a dang thing because I keep forgetting to take my goggles. I've made sure I have them for tonights practice. It's a lot of work and things seem so slow right now. I have so much work to do. I didn't even bother to attempt butterfly because my arms are not strong enough to carry my body weight at this time. Plus, butterfly stroke takes a lot of strength in which I just don't have right now. Currently, I have way too much body fat to pull. That's the reason, I'm having such a difficult time with freestyle at the moment. As usual, my winner of all the strokes, my savior of all time was backstroke. Last night I was able to complete at least 2x100 yards. My goal tonight is to shoot for 3x100 yards. I remeber in swim practice we always started with 10x100 yards. Afterwards, we would do 5x100 freestyle, then 5x100 backstroke, and 5x100 breast-stroke. Compared to now that seems like a whole lot of work. All I can do is work at it. My first goal is to reach 10x100 free-style and get my turns under control.

WIFI in fitness clubs

I'm not sure why fitness clubs have not thought of this idea but I will be calling them to suggest Wifi for their members. Many people would love to have the ability to access their web content or watch movies using Wifi. Usually, when I work out there are televisions with free viewing near all treadmills. However, the conent is never anything to spark my interest. When I want to work out I'm not in the mood to watch the news because it's depressing. The average person is either looking for something relaxing or adventure. I may want to watch my own content rather than what is being offered in the club. It's nice they try to offer their viewing but there's no way to please everyone because we are all different. Wifi would be the perfect answer because we could access our own material right from our ipods, cells, or laptops. The goal in fitness clubs is to keep you going but when it becomes mudane and boring people stop going. Another great idea is to have a board posting for those who are seeking workout buddies. Many people simply do not have suppport systems which is why they fail in their weight loss goals. Fitness clubs could even offer online web forums for people to communicate with one another. When I go down to the gym the people are not friendly except the staff because their sole purpose is to keep you coming for the membership dues. Other than that, I often feel out of place which is why most people stop going. I mean no one speaks or even say hello. They don't offer support or anything. You simply pay and that is the end of it. Now, you can pay a huge whopping fee for a personal trainer but who really has the money for that. Besides, that person is there to push you they are not your friends. Often, you don't even have anything in common with one another. These were things I noticed as I walked around the gym. I will make it my business today to share all these ideas with their manager sometime this week.

Swimming for exercise

Went to work out yesterday but all treadills, ellipticals, and weight machines were full. I've always taken my swim suit so I decided to do some lap swimming. It has been years since I've actually done some real swim training. I was able to complete 800 meters with backstroke and only 100 meters with freestyle. Now, I can honestly see why my coaches were amazed at my backstroke abiity. They were shocked to see I was stronger in backstroke than any other stroke. It's like this, can you run faster backwards or faster? We all know we run faster forward, except in swimming I'm faster in backstroke. I don't know why but I'm more relaxed when I swim using backstroke. It was my favorite of all strokes in swimming.
I'm thinking of joining the master's swimming program. This is a program for all swimmers over age 18 and they accept all levels of swimming. If you want to do competitive swimming or other programs such as lap swimming. I'm more interested in competitive swimming which means I've must do a lot to get in shape. It will be well worth the effort to get out there and compete again. I did it along time ago and I believe I can do it again. When I first started swimming I was 12 when I started training. Other kids in my divison were faster and knew all the strokes from years of training. I was coming in late which meant I had to play catch up. I caught up with them in speed, strength, and stroke achievement in under 4 months. That was dedication and I'm still proud of myself to this day. I began beating those who were coming in first place and I made so much improvement they had to give me the most improved award. I believe I still have that will and determination to go back and start competeting in the masters program by this summer.

YOU WERE WARNED! Now what will you do??

Today, at work I received an email that our company now has the health rewards program. This is a program which pays up to $450 a year to members for staying healthy. Basically, if you are healthy you will be rewarded for doing so. The downside is what are the pentalities to those who are not healthy? What will they do those who refuse to eat right, exercise, or even take small steps toward a healthier life? I kept trying to warn people but they wouldn't listen. Now, the healthcare reform has been the biggest issue. However, they are not disclosing valuable information to the general public. On 1/4/2010 I read where at least 11 states are filing a lawsuit stating consumer rights are being infringed upon. No details at this moment but I'm still waiting. I know my good ole home state of Texas was on that list. I'm so thankful that I went to school and learned as much as possible and saw this disaster headed our way. I've never been able to get the black community or other black women's support in this matter. I'm still trying to work on that but it's impertative I continue to write as this thing unfolds. This health movement will be ugly for Blacks because we have the worst health of all racial groups. We have the highest numbers in the major categories, BP, BMI, glucose(diabetes), and cholesterol. My people I urge you to do something about your health. You will be held accountable for your health. We discussed these issues while I was in school. Many times, I heard students say, "It's not fair, people who don't take care of themselves get health insurance and still do nothing as all those benefits are paid." I've been in the grocery store and watch the smirks on their faces as they watch a fat black in one of the scooter reserved for the elderly pull up with two baskets of food and the baskets are loaded with junk food, at least two cases of soda, huge boxes of cereal loaded with sugar, plenty of meat which is bad for the health, and no fruits or vegetables. People are mad and disgusted by this behavior..and this type of behavior will be met with the strictist of punishment ever seen by our society. They are not playing this game anymore.

2010 No more purchasing high priced video games!

Previoslu, I've seen or heard of an advertisement where you could rent or purchase video games similar to Netflix. Today, I found it and signed up since I found out I could get the newest release games without paying the whopping huge price of $40 to $50 for one game. The best part of the deal is that you get to keep the game long as you want just like Netflix and it's all one small price. I have 3 games on the way, Mortal Kombat which I love, Assassin Creed II, and the great Super Mario for Wii which just released. This is how you shop smart and save your money. If I had gone to Gamestop, Walmart, or Fry's I would have paid a bundle somewhere between $150 to $175 for those games. I'm only paying a small amount of $14.95 now you can't beat that! This is going to be a wonderful year full of so much because I'm going to save, save, and save on all purchases.
