Weightloss Journey Day 11

Tennis was okay today only me and mummy played today because everyone else couldn't make it. It had rained that night so the court was slippery so I didn't get a proper sweat/workout was i dnt wanna run too much and hut myself. Luckily my toes are feeling a little better so praise the Lord! Well I'm off to bed so I can wake up early for tennis tomorrow, as i am not a morning person.

Weightloss Journey Day 10

So my toes still hurt but I had a great workout at tennis today, not as much as yesterday as not everyone was here. Four of us played today so we mostly volleyed and practiced our serving and the things the coach taught us yesterday. We played from 8:45-11:00am and had a 10minute break to eat a banana and have some water. Which is a good fruit to eat during of after playing. Well i must admit i had not eaten a banana in a very long time (weeks) before last week, so tennis has been good.

So now I am home I have and a hot shower and am soaking my feet as my toes are still hurting. But I really thing the boiling hot water is helping a little. I think if I do this each day after I playing for a while my feet will feel a lot better. But I may have to get a pedicure when my feet stop hurting next week cause I cant have nobody touching my feet right now.

Well this week I have tennis tomorrow, Tuesday and Wednesday. Cause I have two appointments on Thursday and Friday when we usually play so I cannot make it. So now I just applied so deep heat to my shoulder and hope the pain goes away. Well you know what they say, "No pain, no gain!!!"

Weightloss Journey Day 9

I feel amazing and totally rejuvenated....exercise is just great when playing a sport. It's like I was not feeling any pain at all when i was playing but I know when I wake up in the morning I will be in pain. Seriously it is my third time playing and i am pained up.....my feet (toes) hurt especially but I'm sure it will wear off in time (i hope). 

So I played from 8:45am-12:345pm with a few breaks but it was good workout session. So we played and towards the end we got some coaching from a Tennis Coach who was at the park (downhill park, tottenhm). He was very helpful and I learn't a lot which helped my technique incredibly. I learn how to do a backstroke (as I was rubbish at it) and worked on my serve, which I've been told I'm a natural at.
Well I am a sports girl, always have been from back in school. I secondary I play netball which I loved and was totally great at it. I also did shot put on sports days and ran a little (was okay at that). Sports are a great way to exercise have fun and meet new people. I think I like the element of being in a TEAM, something I really miss. Well the people I play with are great and like to play very competitively (some more than others :) lol) but it pushed you to play harder, develop your skill and have so much fun. I tell you we laugh as much as we play always enjoyable.

So tomorrow  I will play again as I wanna keep consistency before my monthly comes along and I don't feel like playing.

Weightloss Journey Day 8

So I have been away for a while with the exercise but I'm back now and have decided only to write when i actually do exercise. So on Thursday and Friday I began doing Tennis which has been interesting.  The first day was okay as I only played for half an hour I think, but the next day was great but hell when i woke up the next day. I played from 8:15-11:00am with only a 5min break i think. So I will be going again today Sunday 26th and see what happens as my body is killing me especially my hand :( I so need a full body massage!!!

Weightloss Journey Days 6 & 7

So the pain has been hitting me hard  and I could not exercise so I have just been resting. I plan to resume on Monday as I tried exercising the other day and it just made it worse.

Achieving my DREAMS!!!

Well since the Olympic Games 2012 begun I have watched and I am inspired. Watching all these (some) young people achieve their dreams or come close and compete in the games motivated me to fight harder to achieve my dreams.

I do believe sometimes you have to be a little selfish when it comes to your dreams and your happiness as nobody is looking out for you more than you. In years past I have always know what I wanted but have not pushed hard enough to get it and have put others before myself which was a mistake.

Having a POSITIVE Network of People

Now this is extremely important if you are going to achieve in life. Positive people will be friends who will encourage, give you positive criticism, uplift you and most of all they want whats best for you. If you have 40 so called friends and only 5 are positive people in your life the you don't necessarily need the 35 additional ones in you inner circle. On the way to the top you may have to let some people go if you do nothing for your life as that is just dead weight.

I was reading an article on the ESSENCE Magazine website with an interview with actress Lisa Raye and she said "I'm friends of none and associates of everybody. I've learned to appreciate people being in my life for a reason and a season."

You would think being in Hollywood and being as successful as she is she would have many friends but she doesn't and realizes key distinctions in the categories of people around her. I have always put people into these groups and their definitions, which may be different for various people.

FAMILY -
These are the most important people, they include all my family immediate an extended. The intermediate family is the most important people and your main support.
CLOSE FRIENDS -
These are the family you pick for yourself and these people should be chosen carefully. In my case I do not have many of these but I believe it 's better to have one true friend than 20 fake ones.

BUSINESS PEOPLE - 
These people are very important as they are my connections to achieving my dreams. These people I call about business related things and are high on the list because my relationship with them is VITAL.
ACQUAINTANCES - 
These are just people you know
FACEBOOK FRIENDS/
 These are just people (some friends and family) you know, who you use this network to keep in touch with.
SUBSCRIBERS/FANS - 
Very important people as they are your support and nobody supports and cheers you on better than your FANS.

Weightloss Journey Day 5

This morning I did a 40 minute walk, 20min each way to my doctors appointment. That will be all my exercise for today as my wonderful monthly gift has arrived *sarcasm*. I was afraid of this as in the past I have gotten into a good stride working out and and then my period comes and I am too tired and in pain to work out. Well I got a work out this morning so that's good anyways :)

22.22pm
So I just did 10mins of the first workout DVD and I'm done, stomach is hurting so i am going to leave it for today.
