By Any Means Necessary

This is something that I've asked myself many times. The outcome is always the same, just wishing, hoping and even praying something will magically happen. I've watched the video two or three times: http://youtu.be/WTFnmsCnr6g and I even understand the concept but for some reason as bad as I say and think I "WANT IT" I haven't done what is needed to GET IT!!!

My challenge is to get my mind to believe that it can ACHIEVE any and everything it wants to!!!

Honoring a Living Legend!

This morning before we started our walk with the Queen Mother of "FITNESS" Ms. Ernestine Shepherd-World's Oldest Female Body Builder was honored by the City Council of Baltimore, MD for her HEALTH and Fitness work in the community!!! I was so surprised that she hadn't already been honored but I was so glad that I was blessed to witness it.

Afterwards we got our WALK On and had a FABULOUSLY Fit time. I met many new people and enjoyed being in the mist of all the sharing of experiences going on. This group keeps getting bigger and better. Continued Blessings to All.

It's That Time of Year Again...

I don't know much about football but the Cowboys have been my favorite team for as long as I've known anything about football, lol... Go COWBOYS!!!

Staying Motivated During the COLD Months...

It's almost that time of the year when everyone starts to have challenges maintaining their HEALTHY and Fit lifestyles after summer ends and it gets COLD. We're going to maintain our HEALTHY lifestyle by getting support, encouragement, motivation and stay accountable, while having fun and making new friends along the way!

Here's a little MOTIVATION! We all have seen Jennifer Hudson's TRANSFORMATION and we know that even she had to start somewhere before she went to Weight Watcher and we will too... We're going to Beat the Holiday BULGE! and Get HEALTHY & HOT for the Holidays! For more info CALL me: (850) 702-4521. Abundant Blessings from FITNESS Focused FAITH!  http://youtu.be/u_ObfjgD3mQ

Now Here's Some Very Happy DIVAS!

Now this was a Fabulous SHAPE Diva Dash Weekend! Much, much so much better than last weekend even with the cows, donkeys and goats, lol... I had sooooooo much fun and found that I could do every obstacle activity along the 5K course. 

The animals were watching us and shaking their heads in disbelief. I'm sure they were wondering what in the world we were doing and how long they would have to put up with us running all around their land, lol.

Barbara had so much fun that she has volunteered to ORGANIZE a Fabulously Fit 50 Team for next year, and I'm so proud of her!. You would think I've known these ladies for many years instead of six months. These Sistahs have been a blessing to allow me to be a part of the HEALTHY TRANSFORMATION. I think they'll be ready for 10Ks, 10 milers and half marathons next spring. If you're ready to get started join us:https://www.facebook.com/events/597217823667739/

It's a SHAPE Diva Dash Weekend

Last weekend it was a Run Like A Diva weekend and now this weekend it's a SHAPE Diva Dash weekend! We are all set to get up in the morning and work our way through a obstacle course on an adventure fit only for a DIVA!

Wishing all the Divas a safe and fun adventure. This is my first time every attempting anything like this and to do it as I approach 55 yrs old let's me know the saying "55 and still alive" is an understatement!!!

This Was One Unhappy DIVA Today!

This was me yesterday filled with excitement and anticipation about the inaugural Run Like A Diva race to be held in the DC/VA area. I had encouraged three of my friends and my daughter to participate in this race by telling how FABULOUS it would be because I had participated in their inaugural race in Long Island back in 2010 when Run Like A Diva had their first race ever.

We were all so excited that we even volunteered for the HEALTH and Fitness Boutique! We got up and got ready, had all our racing gear on got in the car and was off to have a FABULOUS time! Little did we know that we would experience the disappointment of my five year racing career. The most unorganized race I had ever seen, I was so embarrassed that I wished I hadn't suggested the race at all! To start traffic and parking was mass CHAOS, cars were double and triple parked blocking people in! The race was a hour and a half late, the road that led to parking was also used for the race so once you were finished you couldn't leave until the race was over. We needed to get out in a hurry to go back to check out of our hotel and it was just over all a very BAD event. Hopefully they will NOT use that location again!!!

Legacy Fabulously Fit 50

It's up to us to set an example for our children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren to come. We have to be the leaders by taking our HEALTH back and starting a REVOLUTION a HEALTH and Fitness REVOLUTION!!!

Fall Race Season is Under Way...

It's finally here, the inaugural 'Run Like A Diva' race in the metro DMV area, takes place this weekend. Thousands of women will be dressing up DIVA Style to have the most fun possible!!! I've been training for a couple of months now and I'm ready to blow it out the water!

I'm so looking forward to this race, my daughter and I will be there representing the mother daughter team.

Out on the TOWN!

Over the weekend I went to a 50th Birthday Celebration that made me long for the 50th Birthday Party I never had, so what a friend suggested is that on my next birthday I celebrate the 5th anniversary of my 50th birthday instead of having a 55th Birthday Party!

Here's the 50th Birthday Queen of the day! I think I can get away with that (smile). Look out World here I come! SAVE THE DATE, Saturday July 26, 2014, we're going to PARTY!!!

Let's CELEBRATE Turning 50 Again!

I remember the year leading up to my 50th birthday with such excitement that it seems like it was on yesterday! Now on my next birthday I'll be turning 55 and I'm not sure if I'm ready to give up the 50th Birthday Queen Crown just yet (smile). I think I'll know better after this weekend when I'll be attending (as a plus-one) three 50th birthday activities. To kick things off, tonight we'll be attending a sit down 50th Birthday dinner with the Queen, in the morning there'll be a 10:00 am walk with the 50th Birthday Queen then on Sunday we'll be attending church service with her. How FABULOUS is that?!?!

Can you tell how excited I am! YES, I'm getting ideals for my upcoming 50th, 55th or BOTH (whichever I decide to celebrate) birthday celebration and you better believe it will be a CELEBRATION!!! Abundant Blessings from FITNESS Focused FAITH!
