Green and Brown look

Okay so I did a look tonight... I was inspired by Makeup Geek's last video on YouTube which was inspired by the Mint 3 Musketeers (yes the candy!)...check her out. Anyway it was with greens and browns and I used very inexpensive brands that still worked very well. I used Maybelline's Ivy League which consists of a light green, a darker green and very pretty highlight in a vanilla looking color. In the outer V I used Prestige Coffee Bean which is dark brown. Both of these are drugstore brands so once again they don't cost a lot.... So when you get a chance, take out those browns and greens and try them out!

Diet update!!

Okay, exercising was great today... I did 35 minutes on the elliptical machine, some dumbbell exercises, and some ab exercises. I finished up with some stretches and it was great! Once again, I felt like I had accomplished something. I usually don't make it into Curves on the weekends so...I use my elliptical machine which you can see in one or two of the posted pics. With the help of the Lord I will lose these 15 pounds this summer. I went a little beyond my recommended calorie intake, which has been my problem lately, but I did get my water in today. On Monday I hope to post how much I have lost over the week. Wish me Luck!!! I will probably talk to you all Monday.

3rd day update!

Hi EVERYONE!!!! What's going on....nothing much here...catching up on my beauty blogs and YouTube beauty videos. As for the diet...what can I say...it's going pretty well....not excellent...just pretty well. I am exercising consistently!!!! and trying to get my 64 oz. of water in. Right now, I'm sitting with a mud masque on. It firms the face and removes impurities. I cleaned and exfoliated before. When I finish I will apply moisturizer. I think I have a new color combo love....hot pink and chocolate. Just saw it on a rug...It looked fabulous!!!! Anywho...I hope that everyone is enjoying their Saturday.... Talk to you all LATA!!! BYE!!!

Day 1!

My first day went very well. I stayed within my calorie target. I exercised. I LOVE CURVES now that I am back into my routine. Those 30 minutes does a body good: cardio and weights all in 30 min. It's great! However, I did not get all of my water in today. I will do better tomorrow. I feel good because I have made it through day 1! Praise God!

Losing the weight! It's really up to me now!

Okay, I'm up cause my son is not feeling so well. I think that the sudden change from warm to cold weather is bothering him and aggravating his asthma. Anywho, while I was up I was reading up on my weight loss tips that my sorority sister sent me. Thanks Tiaisha! I really don't have a reason not to do well. I really just need to persevere; Tiaisha has provided me with all of the info and even a meal plan. Today is my day to start. Trust me I will keep you all posted. At 9:00, I will be hitting up Curves and I am going to weigh in, which I haven't done in forever. I think that I've become too content with where I am. So, it's been inching back up on me. Anywho, I will make a post tonight. Wish me luck!

Hey Everyone!
Okay so dieting is NOT going well right now....NOT AT ALL! However, I have been going to Curves since Monday. My soror sent me some weight loss tips too. So, my goal is to start tomorrow! I just feel hungry all the time! Pray for meeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BRAIDS, WEIGHT LOSS

Okay everyone...so I got my hair braided. I really like the braids, but hate the amount of time that it took. It took 10 hours! Can you say "Too long!"...."Too long!" Anywho...I don't know that I'll do it again. I love the convenience of having them though. I haven't bought any new products lately, but I thought I would just give you all an update on me. I've had my braids for close to a month. I don't know how long I will keep them. They've already grown out quite a bit. Hmmm....what else is going on with me...Oh! I am trying to lose some weight this summer....probably about 15 pounds. I am cranking up my Curves routine...BTW I really like Curves so if anyone is thinking about joining, give it a try. So, I am attempting to do about 1200 calories a day, 40 g fat, 90 g carbs, and 135 g of protein. I don't take in enough protein. Wish me luck! Talk to you all lata! BYE!
