My slack ass

Yea so...about that working out thing. My workout buddies car has been down for quite a while and I have used this as an excuse to be slack. I didn't really think that it would last as long as it did, but it has. I'm fat and lazy all over again. I am going to be making some dietary changes, which you can read about here. I am also going to make some workout changes. My focus has been on cardio, and I have learned that while cardio does burn calories it DOES NOT help my metabolism. My husband even reminded me last night that when he was my coach, I saw faster results.

*I would like to take a moment to shift blame to him for not working out with me anymore.*

I started using weights before I got slack and boy that was a good workout, PLUS I don't have to worry about hurting my ankle. I will incorporate the jump rope as my cardio most times. I'm thinking that I will work with doing sets rather than timing myself, yoga every other day to stay limber and prevent injury, and focus on arms and belly. I have new tattoos and am getting 2 more. I don't want Joe's work to be on a flabby canvas. lol

Chef Ahki, starch, flotation device bellies

Hello my name is Morenike and I am a starch addict.

I'm almost certain that I have posted on this topic before, but because I have an addiction I have to post about it again. It doesn't seem to matter than I am a pretty healthy eating vegan/vegetarian, I can't seem to lose weight namely around my middle. When your niece asks you why you stomach looks like a float, it's time to make some changes.

Meet Chef Ahki. She is about to change my life with her simple 3 week /21 day cleanse. I know at this point y'all are like, "This chick is so wishy-washy." What can I say? I'm a Gemini with Cancer tendencies. The only difference between you and I is that I'm posting my dirty laundry to help you. lol I will keep at this until I find something that works FOR ME. Anywho, she is the anti-starch sista, who made it crystal clear why some vegans are fat in this video.



Now that you have watched the vid, if you even realized that I was still writing down here, my dawta and I have decided to get rid of our flotation device-like mid sections. We will start back exercising and nix the starch. I write about the slackness with the exercise later. I am also going to order Chef Ahki's detox tonic to assist me when I start the cleanse. I was tempted to do the renew cleanse, but it seems like just another imbalanced cleanse. It just gets rid of parasite, but doesn't deal with all the other stuff. I know I have an issue with yeast because I have these fierce cravings for starch which is the same as craving sugar.

"The best way to detox yeast? That's the key. Most people have no idea how yeast and candida affect their health. The pharmaceutical companies wan to sell us drugs to rid us of yeast. None of their drugs work. Only way to kill yeast is to STOP FEEDING IT. What do yeast eat? Starch/Sugar...As long as you put starch in your body you are going to have yeast. The problem is yeast is a brilliant parasite. When it is starved for sugar it triggers cravings for sugar in its host. It's not YOU that wants a plate full of brown rice under your vegetables. It's the yeast. There is very little useful nutrition in brown rice. The only reason we eat is to satisfy cravings of the yeast parasites. The key to escaping the yeast trap is to reduce the cravings and to starve the yeast." ~Chef Ahki 

I am very excited about trying the detox, although I know my starch cravings are going to be cutting a fool. Idk, how my daughter is going to do since she got jacked eating a freakin' HUGE pork chop Sunday. Yes, I snitched on you publicly! lol Our plan is to begin working out again Monday. I will be focusing on weights rather than cardio. I'll let you all know how everything goes as usual.

Hard Head Soft Behind...Bad Food Combining = Indigestion

So, I am a mentor for a girls group at the church we used to attend. Tonight we had a cooking class to show the girls how to make basic dishes, teach sanitation, and oven safety. The food was SO GOOD!!! I also tend to eat more when I'm around other people. I didn't over eat this time, BUT I did do some HORRIBLE food combining. I did not stick to my vegan ways and I am paying for it. I felt nauseous, bloated, was burping, and my bowels were threatening me all the way home.

I am miserable and shame. I am telling you all this so that when the path gets rough you will know that it's not just you. For some reason I am one of those people that doesn't half way do anything. If I am going to be undisciplined I'm going all in. I have gotten lazy because my workout buddy hasn't been around, then I hurt my back gardening, then...hell I just got lazy. My plan is to get back on track Sunday or Monday doing SOMETHING. I have got to put an hour in doing some kind of something. Doesn't matter what it is as long as I de-ass my couch for at least an hour.

Just try to be mindful of what you do while you are doing it. You are going to get paid back whether your decisions are good or bad. I can't even lay down right now, because even after 3 Tsp of vinegar I still have indigestion really bad. It's better than it was, but it's still REALLY bad. I'm going to do better. MY body needs to be vegan and it's won't act right until I comply...
