The First Lady Extended Leg Plank Challenge!

First Lady Extended Leg ChallengeOur 49-year-old First Lady, Michelle Obama appearance last year on the Biggest Losers show hosted at the White House was part of the ‘Let’s Move!’ initiative, a program helping U.S. children to lead a healthier lifestyle. She told the cameras before taking to the floor: ‘I don’t know if I’m ready for a workout, but I will make a complete fool out of myself if it means that more children and families get excited about that idea of incorporating nutrition and fitness into their lives.’ Our First Lady is not above getting on the floor for a good sweat. As a health advocate for America, she practices what she preaches and proves time-and-time again that she is exceptionally fit, with great posture and strength in each push-up, burpee, and plank.  She knows that This isometric exercise will  help tighten your core, helps strengthen  your midsection, upper-body and lower-body muscles.  Planks also strengthen the inner core muscles that support your joints. Try this for 3 minutes with one leg extended outward and upward and Plank You Very Much for joining us!

Are You A Chocoholic?

Could this be you? Rather than pass judgement, Chocolate lovers stand up, UNITE and pass the chocolate! There is nothing wrong with a little chocolate every now and then but some of you are taking it a little too far. There are some cues that may indicate a mighty affection for the dark or milky chocolate confection but we may be able to spot out other suspicious behaviors you may not yet recognized as an issue.

Chocolate portraits
- If you imagine seeing yourself in every piece of chocolate you eat, then you are a chocoholic.
-If you eat death by chocolate cake with double chocolate ice cream with chocolate chips frosting with a side scoop of fudge, then you are a chocoholic.
-If you ate the chocolate bars you needed to make the smores you planned to make out of two brownies served with chocolate ice cream and chocolate topping,  but then you also sucked all the chocolate topping out of the bottle before putting it on the ice cream, then you are a chocoholic.
-If you make brownies with the Hershey’s chocolate syrup package three time a week then add ½ cup of Nestles chocolate syrup, plus peal the wrappers off thirty-two Hershey’s chocolate kisses to dot strategically in the cake pan and ate the remaining 29 kisses left in the bag while it’s baking, then you are a chocoholic.
-If you buy the entire box of chocolates on sale at the bank teller window for a local school, ask for the name of the student selling the chocolate, then stalk that student and are arrested for stalking a student, then you are a chocoholic.
-If you wear silk boxers with a Godiva chocolate tank top while programming your personal cell phone ring manually to play “N E S T L E S nestles makes the very best CHOC LATE.” Then you are a chocoholic.
You want to lick this post or are inspired by some of these ideas, then you are a chocoholic.

The History of Black History

Black History Month is an annual observance in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom for remembrance of important people and events in the history of the African diaspora. However, there are some of us who are blessed to have someone in our life today that has the beautiful quality to influence you to become your personal best! Every community has its influential people –elected officials, entertainers, social/political activists, pioneers, business people, religious leaders, artists, or just friends and family when it comes to how to make things happen.

Black History Month had its beginnings in 1926 in the United States, when historian Carter G. Woodson and the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History announced the second week of February to be “Negro History Week”. This week was chosen because it marked the birthday of both Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass. Woodson created the holiday with the hope that it eventually be eliminated when black history became fundamental to American history. Negro History Week was met with enthusiastic response; it prompted the creation of black history clubs, an increase in interest among teachers, and interest from progressive whites. Negro History Week grew in popularity throughout the following decades, with mayors across the United States endorsing it

In 1976, the federal government acknowledged the expansion of Black History Week to Black History Month by the leaders of the Black United Students at Kent State University in February of 1969. The first celebration of Black History Month occurred at Kent State in February of 1970. Six years later during the bicentennial, the expansion of Negro History Week to Black History Month was recognized by the U.S. government. Gerald Ford spoke in regards to this, urging Americans to “seize the opportunity to honor the too-often neglected accomplishments of black Americans in every area of endeavor throughout our history.” Source Wikipedia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_History_Month

 

The Baby Steps No Sugar Challenge

Just Say No

Sugar is not your friend. There is nothing sweet or lovable about it. But it seems like every time you turn around there is something with sugar in it. There are only a few other things that can addict us in such a way and still allow us to function for years on end before showing any real, ill health effects. It’s sweet, it’s comforting, and is a part of just about everyone’s life. So in order to rid yourself of the blasted sweet tooth, you must take baby steps and wean yourself away from it ( just like any addiction).So what are you going to do about it? Take the Baby Steps Sugar Free Challenge and start this day and every other day in this month off doing it the right way! You can choose to do this challenge for either 2 weeks or a full month but anything you do for less than 2 weeks won’t get you the desired results that you may want.

BABY STEPS

  1. This challenge lasts for 2 weeks to the entire  month.
    Work at your own pace, but remember you have to wean yourself away by cutting back little by little every day. (no less than 2 weeks).
  2. Start with no foods that have added sugar of any kind.
    No added natural sugars (honey, molasses, agave, etc.) Basically, if it has added sugar of any kind (natural or otherwise), don’t eat it. This includes any and all artificial sweeteners which are not considered part of a clean eating diet anyway. There will be naturally occurring sugars in milk and yogurt as well as in fruit. That’s okay. The idea is to give up ADDED sugars. So when you read a nutrition label, look at the actual list of ingredients. NOT the % of sugar per serving.
  3. Replace all other beverages with water and nothing but water.
  4. Stay positive, and never give in to people who will try to derail your success by simply saying “NO thank you” to their sweet temptations!

Stay on track with your results by journaling online your challenges, your successes and your results. This way we can all encourage you and more importantly relate to you with our own journey. Working together, we can do this!
