Day 2: Plyometrics

Tue, 11 Sep 2012 15:55:47 -0400

Okay this DVD is no joke like forreal forreal. I had to take so many breaks throughout it it isnt even funny. But nonetheless I absolutely LOVED this work out. It was so delightfully challenging. I was dripping in sweat, like drenched in sweat you guys. I feel really good this go round about my fitness journey. I feel like I can do it and see results this time y’know. As well as healthier eating ! I found this recipe for cold mocha oatmeal and I am ready to try it !

Day 1: Arms & Chest

Tue, 11 Sep 2012 15:54:00 -0400

So today I started P90x, and well lets just say kicked my BUTT!! Today I learned that I have absolutely no upper body strength what so ever. I am working on it though. I’m going to keep at it though, you don’t see results by just giving up y’know, and I don’t plan on giving up at all. To be honest I quite like it a lot. So far P90x has proven to be very fun for me and challenging. You always gotta like a challenge don’t you? haha No pain no gain !

Im so proud

of myself. After like forever, I woke myself up and went for a run while it was still nice and cool out.

I dunno something about seeing the US womens volleyball team struck me and was like “You betta get yo ass out there and run till you look like them girl !’

Granted I only ran for 30 minutes, but considering Ive only been eating Oats, Fruits, Vegetables and Fish lately I think that was a considerable work out no?

Hopefully Ill be able to run longer, gotta work through this silly asthma of mine first

Ive been working

I used to want to be super thin but thats unrealistic for my body type, Im a curvy girl all day and that is that. I want to be healthy and happy.

This is currently what I look like in my bikini.. and quite frankly I love being a curvy girl, but this is not cutting it. My goal is not to change my weight but to change my body. I dont care how much I weigh. I would just like to tone and tighten my curves. For a more sleek look.

xdisposition:

Tim Wise - The Pathology of White Privilege

“White Americans are twice as likely to believe that Elvis is still alive than to believe what Black people are telling them they experience every day.”

Hour-long, powerful speech about white privilege and white American’s denial of racism.

I Might Get Some Hate For This But: This Is MY Opinion.

Tue, 20 Mar 2012 19:57:42 -0400

I despise BET with a burning passion. Quite frankly it isnt helping the progression of Black people at all. Actually its causing us to regress. ALL the shows on BET portray black people in the stereotypical way. Yes I understand the intentions of BET was original good but right now its doing more harm than it is doing good.. yes we get our own television channel. But in my opinion FUCK THAT I dont wanna have my own channel.. why cant there be black sitcoms on other channels? Oh wait there were.

You know the shows that showed black people in a positive light? Like ‘The Cosby Show’, ‘That’s So Raven’, ‘The Jefferson’s’. ‘Good Times’, ‘My Wife and Kids’, ‘Fresh Prince of Bel Air’ etc. shows where black people were doing well for themselves and if they were poor they were working hard and raising their kids to be better than them they didn’t let being poor define them, they weren’t portrayed as loud ghetto ignorant people. Shows like that I support. I miss shows like that actually.

Now all I see on TV are ghetto shows where people act like they have no common sense about themselves. But I digress. My point in making this post is to say that WE DON’T HAVE TO BE A STEREOTYPE ! Its that simple. Don’t sit here and blame the government and the ‘white man’ for how you’re being treated. Do something about it. Oh don’t like how people talk down at you and assume you’re ghetto just because you’re black. Do something about that shit then.

You want respect? Then stop walking around with your pants below your fucking knees and multicolored weave, acting like having “Swag” and being a “Bad Bitch” is all thats important. Now dont get me wrong Im an avid weave wearer. I love me some weave.. mostly because I like different hairstyle very often. So Im not knocking weave.. no its a beautiful thing. But when that shit looks unnatural with 20 million different colors in it, and you walking around with ridiculous nails, and just mostly thinking you’re “Bad” that’s what I have a problem with. Honey you can be fine as hell without all that. Actually women look better when they do less. Wear less attention grabbing clothes… yes I understand “Thats part of who I am” but baby you can do it in a less tacky way. Trim your nails. There is no reason your nails need to be 5 inches long honey. And frankly put whatever color you want on your nails, I could care less. The *ahem “Baddest” of “Bitches” are the one that are dressed the classiest, have a good education, and have some business about themselves. That’s how you’ll get respect ladies.. but my issues with how black women are perceived are for another post.

And boys. Pick up your pants. Real men, men who actually want to look their best and be successful are the ones who wear clothes that fit. Being ‘Hood’, a ‘Thug’ or “Gangster’ is not the only route in life. Go to college and don’t dare give me some bullshit about how you aren’t the “school’ type and ‘the streets are all I know’ bullshit. Because that’s all it is. BULLSHIT. There is nothing stopping you from getting an education. Oh your friends are dealers? thats the quickest way to make money? Fuck that shit. No baby that’s the quickest way to get your ass sent to JAIL. You can plenty of money after you get those degrees baby, and that money will be legal and trust me you’ll feel better.

As a community we don’t have to be seen as ‘loud’, ‘ghetto’, ‘hood’, ‘ignorant’, etc. But a lot of us CHOOSE to be seen that way. So the next time you complain about being stereotyped are you doing anything about it? You can prevent it, if you try to do better.

Oh and before I forget. Tyler Perry is definitely not helping the cause. Im sorry Tyler, but I’m a black woman and no I’m not struggling, no I don’t forget where I came from, no I’m not in an abusive relationship. I’ll tell you what I am though, I’m Middle-Classed, my parents worked their asses off to get me out of the ‘ghetto’ I am enrolled as a freshman at SCAD and I’m dating a very sweet and loving white guy.

I hate how ALL of Tyler Perry’s movies are the exact same. I can tell you the entire movie ! Its annoying. I just cant take him seriously. Sir you are nowhere to the caliber that Spike Lee is. He was telling black children the consequences of going down the wrong path, he introduces our culture as black people into the media but also teaching us that drugs and gangs and jail does not have to be our future.

Now there are some positive influences for black people in the media, like Denzel Washington, Jada Pinkett-Smith, Will Smith, Gabrielle Union, Idris Elba, Halle Berry, Raven- Symone, Whoopi Goldberg, Angela Bassett, Laurence Fishburne, Jamie Foxx, Samuel L. Jackson, Forest Whitaker, MORGAN FREEMAN for heavens sake ! These are actors who dont fall into the stereotypes. They portray various types of characters. Scientist, Doctors, Cops, Detectives, Nuns, Leaders of large corporations, Secret Agents etc. These are people who are positive influences. We need more of these.. granted I know there are more but these names just came into my head.

Oh and please do not get me started on the music industry there is just so much wrong being done there that its just obvious now. I love rap as much as the next kid, hell I even like some of the more pointless songs. But I dont care about drugs, I dont care about how many women ya went on and fucked, I dont care about your street cred, I dont care about how much paper you’re making, I dont care about your expensive cars or your expensive clothes. I miss the days of rappers like Tupac, and Biggie. Hell even some classic Jay-Z, when they talked about life, and wanting to do better trying to make something of themselves. Thats what I miss about rap. Im not knocking all rappers now though I love me some Kid Cudi and Lupe Fiasco, they talk about life, and I enjoy their lyrics their metaphors, In my opinion their great. abut thats me.

I think overall we need more positive portrayals of black people out there. I feel like if there were more positive views of black people maybe just maybe we would be doing better. Maybe we wont have to feel oppressed. If you dont want to be oppressed and treated like you cant make something of yourself, then do just that, you go out there and you make a name for yourself, and a positive one at that.
