Basketball practice left me in pain.

OMG.. All of my body is in pain and barely can't move at all. Basketball practice was good and left me pain all over it. My team and I practiced for 5 hours and I am most def. worn out. I did scrimmage against the guys and made us even more tougher. I am so surprised at myself  that I am not scared to practice against that guys like I am always be so picky and not being so strong enough to be tough I always avoiding playing against the team and not showing my talent on the court. My leg is killing me because I put too much pressure when I try to run. Before basketball practice, I did 5 miles at the track. I think I overdid and the pain started to ache everywhere. I thought i was going to hang in there at practice. I barely couldn't do anything. I try my best to catch up with the players and running back and forth. It was painful as hell. My coach got on the court and telling me to RUN. lolz. I gotta practice hard to be prepared for the game this coming week. I tried to hide from my coach but he know where to find me. I was like damn, how did he know where I was. I was not ready to play because I am in so much pain. NO PAIN, NO GAIN. Oh well, pain is a damn bitch. It is a great feeling but when you move, it is a bitch. .

My vision condition

I am very disappoint in myself and I could not believe it. It is partially my fault and I should have wear glasses long time ago but I chose not to wear glasses. If I listen to my doctor more, my vision will get much better. All through my life, I hate wearing glasses and it as not my thing. Back in the day, I think all of those glasses were ugly and i couldn't afford to buy those expensive brand name. Now I have a chance a purchase those brand name that I really want. I took eye exam couple a day ago and I was in so shock that my doctor told me that I have bad vision. I almost cried from there but I try my best to hold inside until I arrive home. I have this thing called Astigmatism which mean a vision condition that causes blurred vision due either to the irregular shape of the cornea, the clear front cover of the eye, or sometimes the curvature of the lens inside the eye. To be honest, I can't see far away. It had been like that since I was in high school. I gotta accept the fact that I have to wear glasses even though I hate it very much. either wear it or go blind. I finally got this brand name BABY PHAT which cost too much. My medicaid won't pay for it. yea, I pay it with my own money. UGH.. I hope I am going to take good care of this glasses so i won't have to pay it from my pocket for the next five years & promises myself that I will continue to wear glasses.

Red Velvet Cake

When you look at this picture, what do you see, how do you feel? look yummmy don't it? make you want to bake them. 


Red Velvet cake is a cake that is rich and sweet with dark red to bright red color. It seem to be the popular cake in the southern United States. I had this urge to bake Red Velvet Cake so bad but every time I go to Walmart, it run out immediately. No wonder it is so popular these day. Last week ago, I finally decided to buy some and it was cheap. I am not that good of baking but I am going to give my best. I was just in the mood to bake. It can become messy when you messing with food coloring. I have to say that I love Red Velvet cake and taste so damn good. like sex on cloud 9. It had been year that I have eaten Red Velvet cake. My friends always telling me that I will pack a pound if I eat it. If I ate the whole cake, of course, I will gain a couple of pound. or I am going to be into food coma. lol. One piece or two of cakes won't do any harm. Red Velvet Cake won't attempt me to eat more. I need to make cream cheese frosting which I never learn how to make it. I searched for recipe and I am going to try it. Red Velvet had become my favorite cake and this is going to be my wedding cakes. lolz.

Spring Season

Spring season is finally here as I hope. Last Week ago, weather have been so nice in Mississippi since the big winter storm came. The weather had been just perfect. I beginning to think that spring season is so so so much better than summer season. Oh boy, I am not looking forward for summer to come. Summer season used to be my favorite season of all since the temperature went up, all of the sudden, I dislike summer.  Anyway I finally got back in shape of working out every day in the field. it is so great to be back. I try not to stay under the sun too long because I don't want my friend calling me Africa this,Africa that. You know how it is. We don't be staying in the sun when it is too hot to chill. I love to work out but I will not work out when it is over 100 degree. I am not going to have heat stroke for being in that sun too long. Back to the point, Did you just took summer vacation in Africa, and blah, blah, & blah. The Africa jokes is kinda of annoying to me and working to my last nerve to the end. I got my skin color back in time. It is really getting old. I know they are joking but seriously, come with a better one. lol. I really don't let it get to me. I let my friends have their moment.

So anyway, I started to do my mission as walking and running a lot couple of week left my thigh and leg in so much pain which is a good thing.  It is telling me that I am working harder. I am going to try to work out 4 days of the week and doing less miles because I am really concerned about my right femur. I just hope it is nothing seriously though. I am so addicted to workout.

Special K Mission: FAILED

I am so so so disappointment in myself because I failed Special K challenge a month ago. I was eating special K cereal for two weeks. and I have not start my 30 minute or more workout journey yet because the weather is working on my last nerve at the end. I can't be mad at the mother nature that happen outside. I just wish it wasn't that cold outside. I never be extremely cold in Mississippi. I know can't use mother nature as my excuse of stopping working out. I have to find another way to get my workout done. I should have work out in my room which I don't feel like it. I just killing the time by sleeping and be on the internet. I have not gaining any weight but I really need to some weight like seriously. I need something that will motivate me to do indoor workout. I have two aerobic DVD work out which is Taebo and Hip Hop Abs. They are really good but does lose a little. I am going to try my very best to do it this week. STARTING Tomorrow. All I need energy pill to keep me going and find something that will motivate to keep me going. Good luck to me.

Pregnancy: Age is just a number, isn't it?

Why is that people is being so judgment these days? Who gave you the right to criticize older mother who try to have babies? It is not your place to make a quick to judge on someone else. Leave that to GOD. He have the most power to do that. And it is not your life so worry about your life. I guess it is human's nature to judge other people but not in my nature. It's all  about what you want in life & what you can afford. I don't think anyone but God has any right to say older woman cannot or can have babies. If God chose you to have this baby at this age, so be it and GO FOR IT. Don't let anyone tell you different. Some people aren't ready to have baby until in their 30s or 40s and it is really none of their or my business. "My quote: Don't judge other so they won't judge you."  I know that people around you and their opinion can affect your life but you are giving your two cents is so damn judgment. All you can do is just be there to support her no matter what. However, Don't let that get to you. If you want to have babies at that age, GO FOR IT. What is wrong of having babies in their early & late 40's?  We all know all the risk of having babies at that age but age shouldn't matter. I am definitely not encourage all women to get pregnancy at 50 nor 60. Just saying.

Don't forget that Celebrities in their 40's had their babies and gave healthy babies but some may have issue. Celebrities can afford to have infertility, donor eggs or whatever that may be.  These days, there are more women becoming pregnant in their 40's  and beyond. So many people wonder, how old is too old to have a baby? There is no perfect simple answer for that. I guess age is just a number to have babies. No one is perfect but GOD.

I really didn't feel ready to have children when I was in my 20's. I was so much into school work, having so much fun, living my life to the fullest and additionally, there was no man in my life at that time. All of my good friend had their babies in their 20's and waiting for me to have my own. I have received a couple of statement that they wish they could have waited because they was so jealousy that I was having so much fun in my 20's. There is no reason to be jealousy. I think having children is more fun and precious. I guess I am trying to do better than my mother. My mother had my sisters when she was 15,years old, she had me when she was 20 and 25 years old. I have seen her struggle and struggle to raised all three of us without our father in our life. I have no problem of being a mother at older age. I think it is the right time for me to start my own life at this moment because I am so ready to settle my life with someone. I used to dream of having my own kids when I was 25 years old but that dream of mine FAILED. I guess I am not going to dream so much to make it happen. I am in love with this dude I am with. We are working on having babies when the time is right. I do not regret of waiting to have baby in my 30's. If I can't baby now,  I will adopt one but continue to try to have baby.

There is other thing that made me realize something very important in my life. I wouldn't let it bother me so much. The major concern is that my babies might not have a chance to see their grandma. Why is the rush to get pregnant now and what if getting pregnancy FAILED? Well, People made a choice to have that babies at that age. . See, I don't have a Grandma nor great grandma cuz they died when I am very young. Should I rush to get pregnant now? The answer is no but I know my mother might not live long enough. God forgive me for saying that. I know I can't be mad at God for taking my family away. God can't keep everybody so someone gotta go. So getting pregnant at that age have a lot to think about. It will be hard on me n my future children if she ain't here but I am going try the best to make it through. . God will be w me all the WAY. I pray that I will get to live longer to see my grandbaby.. 5 or more kids for me. As long I make scrapbook of my whole families which I need to do it NOW.

My Special K Challenge of 2011

 I really don't eat at all. I eat when I am very hungry and tend don't gain any weight at all from time to time. I hate eating breakfast which it is very important meal of the day. I need to start to eating breakfast to make it my habit. My mama put me on Special K diet plan which I don't want to be on it but it is worth a try to lose couple of pounds in two weeks. I am going to keep this diet plan plain and simple. Last week, my plan failed because I didn't work out a lot along with the diet plan. This week, I will do so much better and I am very determined to do much better on week 2. But at the same time, I will try not to let this weather stop me from exercising and do indoor aerobic if it too cold. In some way, I was very excited to get my week started but week one made me hungry and I feel my stomach empty. I drink Special K protein to keep me from being hungry. As this moment, I weight 186  and I am looking forward to lose 35 lbs end of the year. I hope I can accomplish my goal this year.

Special K is one of the healthier cereals and an excellent choice as a breakfast meal.There is no harm of try to lose weight fast. Just follow Special K routine or create your own routine, & everything will be fine. I know eating the same cereal day by bay can be extremely boring. Just hang in there and lost the pound you have always wanted.  If anyone can lose 6lbs in two weeks, you can, too. All you gotta do is exercise, eat well, and lose the pounds, then YOU ARE GOOD. Get rid of junk food. Eat fruit & Veggie, Or Yogurt, eat Special K snack bar instead of junk food. Your good healthy meal can be Campbell soup. It is plain and simple.

I can't say that "Special" K diet is truly amazing to lose because I have not lost the weight yet. . I am just hoping to lose 5 lbs this week. Wish me good luck and I really need it. I will keep you update in week 3. 

I am not doing this as a diet crash and I am not planning to gain it all back once I stop. Unless I am eating a lot and consume 1500 calories a day, I am good. Eating once a day just extremely insane. I can't do that. So it’s a long term commitment to eating more healthy. Just don't give up..
