Greek yogurt is my official “go-to” snack.

So here’s the rundown:

Greek yogurt can deliver as much protein as eating meat. According to some nutritionists, Greek yogurt has double the protein of most regular yogurts (An 8-oz cup has as much protein as 3-oz of chicken). It’s also a key nutrient in building & maintaining muscle mass. The even bigger silver lining…It’s said to keep you feeling fuller, longer. Need more? It boosts the amount of probiotics in your intestines. Probiotics improve digestion & keep the bacteria in your belly healthy. They can also boost your immune system (good tip for the upcoming flu season).

*To maximize benefits make sure the label states: “live and active cultures”

Now imagine there’s a shorty, maybe five maybe four
Ridin’ ’round with his mama listening to the radio
And a song comes on and a not far off from being born
Doesn’t know the difference between right and wrong
Now I ain’t trying to make it too complex
But let’s just say shorty has an undeveloped context
About the perception of women these days
His mama sings along and this what she says
“Niggas I’m a bad bitch, and I’m bad bitch far above average”
And maybe other rhyming words like cabbage and savage
And baby carriage and other things that match it
Couple of things that are happenin’ here
First he’s relatin’ the word “bitch” with his mama, comma
And because she’s relatin’ to herself, his most important source of help, And mental health, he may skew respect for dishonor

Bitch bad, woman good
Lady better, they misunderstood
(I’m killin’ these bitches)
Bitch bad, woman good
Lady better, they misunderstood
They misunderstood
(I’m killin’ these bitches)

Yeah, now imagine a group of little girls nine through twelve
On the internet watchin’ videos listenin’ to songs by themselves
It doesn’t really matter if they have parental clearance
They understand the internet better than their parents
Now being the interent, the content’s probably uncensored
They’re young, so they’re maleable and probably unmentored
A complicated combination, maybe with no relevance
Until that intelligence meets their favorite singer’s preference
“Bad bitches, bad bitches, bad bitches. That’s all I want and all I like in life is bad bitches, bad bitches”
Now let’s say that they less concerned with him
And more with the video girl acquiescent to his whims
Ah, the plot thickens
High heels, long hair, fat booty, slim
Reality check, I’m not trippin’
They don’t see a paid actress, just what makes a bad bitch

Disclaimer: This rhymer, Lupe’s not usin’ bitch as a lesson
But as a psychological weapon
To set in your mind and really mess with your conceptions
Discretions, reflections, it’s clever misdirection
Cause, while I was rappin’ they was growin’ up fast
Nobody stepped in to ever slow ‘em up, gasp
Sure enough, in this little world
The little boy meets one of those little girls
And he thinks she a bad bitch and she thinks she a bad bitch
He thinks disrespectfully, she thinks of that sexually
She got the wrong idea, he don’t wanna fuck her
He thinks she’s bad at being a bitch like his mother
Momma never dress like that, come out the house, hot mess like that
Ass, titties, dress like that
All out to impress like that
Just like that, you see the fruit of the confusion
He caught in a reality, she caught in an illusion
Bad mean good to her, she really nice and smart
But bad mean bad to him, bitch don’t play your part
But bitch still bad to her if you say it the wrong way
But she think she a bitch, what a double entendre

Bitch bad, woman good
Lady better, they misunderstood
You’re misunderstood
Bitch bad, woman good
Lady better, greatest motherhood
(I’m killin’ these bitches)

I think every woman can relate to the feeling of being misunderstood. There just comes a time to stop making excuses and start being the change you want to be.

Look for new beginnings, a different perspective & a fresh start. Any day is your best day to start over. Rid yourself of the negative energy, the thoughts, the people, the experiences.

There is nothing more empowering than finding your own inner strength. Its time to take the reigns and show life how you want to live.

need some MOTIVATION? or just looking to pump up your regular routine? my PT always pushes just a little bit more each time we work out, inspiring me, proving to myself that the body is capable of ANYTHING.

the Elevated Plank on a half BOSU ball.

Benefits? Core Strength, Stability, and Rock-Hard Abs

Core Stabilization is the 1st step in mastering core exercises & training. It’s best gained when there is little to no movement in the back (or butt) during the exercise & planking is a great core stabilization exercise.
When you combine your “hum-drum” plank with a BOSU ball, you can create different strengthening exercises that are great for developing core stability.
The BOSU Ball is a great tool for ab & core exercises. Because the BOSU ball is unstable, your abs & core muscles will work harder, in-turn, improving your balance, coordination, & core stability.

Don’t have time for the gym? Well…contrary to popular belief it’s possible to spend little time at the gym and still maximum results.

All you need is to set aside 30-40 minutes for your workouts. Though some people tend to want to get a lot out of their workouts & spend a lot of time at the gym, the truth is that after 30-40 minutes, the benefit isn’t as great. To go that long, you’d have to lower the intensity of the workout, and that means that you’re spending too much time working out. It’s better to work out at a higher intensity for a shorter amount of time.

If you’re just starting out with exercise, it’s best to take it slow. If you’re running, build up your endurance for at least a month before you get into anything too intense. Start at a rate where you can talk without being out of breath. However, once you have that base of endurance, step up the intensity to step up the effectiveness of the workout.

The photo above is proof of high intensity workouts completed on 4 different days, focusing on specific body parts, that lasted only 30 minutes. Plan your gym time effectively to see the best results for yourself. No excuses.

*Disclaimer: I am not a professional. After some research & personal experience, I found the information above to be effective. Again, what works for me, may not for you. Find your own nitch. Good luck!
