NIVEA My Silhouette!

Labels: - July 10, 2009


Do you love DVR/TIVO as much as I?
I DVR everything and I finally got to sit and watch some shows that have been in the DVR for weeks.

I was watching The Tyra Show the other day and she was promoting the new Nivea My Silhouette Gel Cream.

There were 5 women on the show who participated in a competition and they lost between 4-8 inches off their thighs, hips, waist, and stomach. The challange was to help these women get back into their skinny jeans by changing their lifestyle and using this gel cream 1-2 times a day. The gel helps to firm, tone, and redifine your silhouette. But diet and exercise is crucial to the success of this challenge. See the results of the show here.
As I mentioned days ago, this summer I'm working out like crazy (everyday) and I did a little research on the gel cream. I decided to use this gel cream to help tone and firm up my skin.

Here are photos of my silhouette and arms.






















So in 4 weeks (Aug 7) I'll put up updated photos. I'm sure all the working out I do will make this cream more effective then the women on the Tyra show.

No it's not me.


It's Jennifer Hudson!


She looked so beautiful at the Micheal Jackson memorial service and I noticed that her stomach was huge!


I remember watching American Idol and thinking she was the best person on the show. Good luck to her and her husband to be. After everything she's been through a birth like this is a gift.

Somethings Gotta Change

Labels: - July 7, 2009


You've heard these sayings before,right?




    1. You can't change a man.

    2. If thats how he was when you met him that's how he's always going to
      be.

    3. You knew he was like that before you married him.

    4. What did you expect? He showed you this side before.

Well I'm facing some issues that are making me question whether these old sayings are the wisdom I need to follow.

My fiance and I are very busy people, but inspite of my busy schedule, I always make sure to get home at a reasonable time and have dinner prepared so we can sit down together and enjoy a good meal and just share that united moment together.

His schedule often doesn't permit for him to get home at a reasonable time. Some nights after work at 6 he has more and more to do that he doesn't get in until 4 hours later.

Ofcourse I'm understanding to "what" he has to do that keeps him out, but it seems like it's all the time. And he's not the best with checking in--so I never know what's going on.

Something needs to change because I don't want my future to be like this at all!

I'm on VACATION!

Labels: - July 6, 2009

Being on vacation has been great thus far.

I've been pampering myself to pedicures and manicures each week.
I've been utilizing the FREE movie tickets on my Optimum rewards card. So far I've seen Transformers, The Taking of Pelham 123 and I'm going to see Public Enemies.

I've also been getting in contact with friends and family I've been too busy to call throughout the year.

I've been working out at the gym faithfully, everyday. I've decided I want to go back down a few pounds. I know I'm not fat, but I have lost lot's of muscle tone in my arms, legs and abs. So I'm increasing my cardio and eating more fruits and veggies to balance my diet.

I hope to lose 10-15 pounds before the end of the summer. Think I can do it?

All the Changes We've Made

Labels: , - July 2, 2009

Coco Puff and I were sifting through our old photos in order to find one we both wanted to use on our Save the Date magnet cards that we are sending to all our guest for the wedding.


In doing so, I noticed how much I've changed over the course of our relationship.

This was us when he and I FIRST started dating in 2005



At this point I weighed over 200 lbs. I was very confident and didn't really notice my weight. It was never an issue for me. My beauty and personality were innate.


Now this photo was take a year after we started dating, Nov. 2006.

In January of 2006 I weighed 230 pounds, I decided to go on a diet and lose 80 pounds. In this photo I was about 190 pounds. I managed to lose 40 pounds.

This photo was taken at my brothers wedding reception. Everyone there was shocked to see my transformation!

This next photo was taken Jan. 2007 (2 months after the previous photo. I was down to 180 pounds!








Here we are last summer (2008) at my Divas Law
School graduation BBQ. I look hot!! I was down to 165
pounds. Not my goal of 150 lbs, but very close!
I lost 65 pounds over the
course of 2 years.
I couldn't have done this without the support of my Coco Puff.
I love him so much!
