DIY Running Gear



I get a joy out of creating things and do-it-yourself'ing stuff as a way to help fill my days. After running for a few months, I realized I needed some new gear or something to motivate myself a bit. It's weird how women seem to come alive when they're wearing something new or at least different. Running gear is costly but who says you have to spend mad amounts of money to have your own look on the pavement. Perhaps one day I will start my own line of fitness apparel. Look out world!

Beast Mode!




My toenail fell off after the third month due to fungus from keeping polish on a bit too long as well as the moisture and friction. 





 Hmmm.... What can I do to give these some pizzazz? 


Got it! Shoot, I should start my own brand!

 Wearing my new creation. Now the message is for those passersby who stare and the guys who act like they've never seen a Bahamian gal running before.

11 Secrets For Exercise Success.

If you ever look at some people who always manage to stay in shape and wonder what's so special about them, now, you may not have to. Just as there are proven "secrets" to the rich, famous and any other class in between on how they got there, there are also secrets of the slim and svelte. Follow me: Secret #1:   Having a clear and realistic image of your own ideal body in your mind (and not Giselle Bunchden's!)  Reason it works: No one is 100% identical to another so to get a good, sound image of your own frame structure, height, and problem areas will leave you feeling more motivated rather than envious of Brazilian beach beauties.  Your Method: Specifically decide what your ultimate goal is - to add more muscle mass, tone up certain areas or lose 20lbs - then imagine what you will look like at the end of your journey. If you can, conjure up this ideal image in your head when you're working out, feeling lazy and about to ignore your workout, or feeling a

Not So Easy Come, Easy Go! Bittersweet Work Tale.

It's Hump Day! Well I haven't been as frequent as I would have liked to have been on here in the last few weeks due to the fact that I was job-hunting and getting Milani back into school. It's such a roller-coaster ride trying to find a job. It's crazy how much money is required of a person who has been unemployed for over three years in this country. Everything is super-duper expensive and people just act like, "Well don't you have someone you can call for a few dollars?", to which the answer is a resounding, "NOooooooo!". People try to help in some cases but most of the time they just want to hear themselves talk and sound good while doing so. Anyhow, my efforts did not go in vain and by the grace of God I found something. It was not exactly what I wanted but it was a job! As a security officer, I thought I would be wielding a baton and fighting bad guys but instead, I was immersed smack-dab into the tourism industry. I was stationed at Su

Wow! Ten whole days have passed since I posted last! It's great because that means I've been otherwise occupied. (Sorry, if anyone missed me!) I'm anxious for my evening run right now and need to let off some steam anyhow.  It's so awesome how I can now eat in peace and know that it's not going to stick to my hips! Honestly, for the first time in my life, I undertook something as intense as running and DID NOT do it for weight loss. I can barely believe that myself but it's true. For as long as I can remember my whole life revolved around weight and now, at 31 years of age, I finally feel free! God is GREAT! The bonus on top of that now is getting the body in the best shape (inside and out) of its life! Jarrod bought some Chinese food the other day and I took out my share. He said, "Here take some more." I was like, "No, I'm good. That's enough for me." Then he goes, "Don't forget you run now!" Woo Hoo! That's
