#23 - It's Been A While...

I've been such a bad blogger. I apologize. But, there are so much to tell you guys! So many great things are happening with my music (as I always say) and my band, THE MIDNIGHT SESSIONS. We have so many shows coming up that I can't even explain right now...mainly because I actually just got done with an intense work-out. Sorry haha. My mind is a little boggled from all the adrenaline and such haha. Anyways, I have to admit that I have been somewhat bottling up my anger and problems that it started to affect my health. So, I decided to take control of this matter. Starting today, I am going to try and live a healthier lifestyle, so my Diabetes can be controlled as well as be lean and fit come summer time. I just found out that I quite enjoy cardio kickboxing. It DOES help with releasing all these negative energies in my body and it is a definitely intense workout. My body is already feeling the soreness. And later on today, I actually have a job orientation for this catering hall. Perfect timing to be aching...but I can do it. I haven't had a job since last August (where I was a cashier and waitress at a local diner in Flushing, NY). I miss working and doing something, rather than stay at home and sleep all day. Mind you, I LOVE spending time with my son and he definitely is a bit of a workout as well! But, I must make a promise to myself that I will be committed into this healthy lifestyle. I have a weight goal that I would like to accomplish. Right now, I weigh about 126 (which has been pretty stagnant since after my pregnancy). I plan on perhaps dropping 10-16 lbs and hopefully reducing my pants size by 2. It's hard to go on a diet and be fully committed to it, especially with all the delicious food we are faced with everyday. But, I'm going to take it as a challenge. I mean, I love greens and salads and fruits. It's really the carbs I need to look out for and not just for getting leaner and whatnot...but for my Diabetes as well. From now on, I am going to try making it to the gym again. It's been a while...but I must make the effort to better myself. And if I can't somehow make it to the gym, I will do my 1-1 1/2 hour workouts at home. I already found 2 wonderful YOUTUBE videos online that targets specifically what I'm looking for. It's been a while since I've had that flat stomach that i had back in high school. Being a mom and a wife and stressing all the time, as well as staying at home, it definitely has taken a toll on my body. I used to weigh about 102 lbs. And I was a size 2. Now, I weigh about 126 and a size 5. It'd be nice to get that flat tummy once again (especially after giving birth). I think it would definitely help boost my self-esteem. And yes. I know I'm not fat...but I would like to have a leaner body that I can be confident in showing off during the summer time. Everyone can agree on that. You want to be healthy and lean and just confident in the way you look. Plus, working out and having a healthy lifestyle will definitely improve your energy and your soul. You will begin to feel more refreshed and not held back by all these negative emotions. Okay. Enough of me talking. I am going to go take a nice cold shower to soothe these inflamed muscles of mine. Have a nice day everyone and I will keep you in the loop.

Much love,


MD

P.S. It's nice to be back :)
