Ohh Ohh Ohhhh... I Got a New Attitude!

"I'm wearing a new dress, new hair, brand new ideas, as a matter of fact I've changed for good..."

Patti Patti was feeling herself when she was singing this song "New Attitude."  Being what... 3 or 4 when this song came out, I didn't know the first thing of what she was saying.  But let my mom tell in I was rocking in my booster seat.  Seriously,  this song came to mind while I was doing some researching on the internet for new clothes and a new hairstyle as well as trying to find new ways for self betterment.  I have a new found tv love and that's Dr. Oz.  They placed him in Oprah's timeslot here and I would like to thank them for it!  He has this new challenge along with Weight Watchers.  It's called "Transformation Nation."  Of course its about self help and health and wellness.  Usually I like to hear the little tidbits of information he has to share and he knows so much about everything that I respect his intelligence.  But this website if full of helpful info about sleep, exercise, mental health, stress management and everything in between.  I think it's pretty cool!  It's the geek in me sure but overall its for me!  I have been on a weight loss journey since May and have gone up and down and tried so many different things to no avail.  So it really is taking me to sit down and focus on this make it a part of lifestyle and not just something to look good in the CAU Homecoming pictures next week.  LOL! 

So as I continue to journey into self acceptance and betterment.  I just thought I'd share this with whomever decides to read this because it could be of some help to you!  So the first step was to write my goals down so hey... again that's what the blog is for so I'm gonna do it on here...

Road to Happy Goals
1) Daily Prayer and Meditation (sometimes twice, three, four or more times a day!)
2) Exercise three times a week (I hate exercise especially activities that feel like exercise)
3) Get an extra 30 mins of sleep a night ( I don't have a sleeping pattern for real.  I'll just dose off whenever but Dr. Oz says its something to sleeping and weight loss that goes together.)
4) Be content with my choices (No more back and forth about stuff... once my minds made up THAT'S IT!)
5) Find a Hobby! (LOL, yes, find a hobby!  Don't know what's its going to be yet but I need something to do that is just for me and makes me happy)
6) STOP DRINKING MOUTAIN DEWS (The green crack is getting me yall and I have got to do something about it!)
*and a Possible* 7) Start writing... so maybe this blog will be like my journal.  We'll see...

So I'm getting to happy, y'all one step at a time.  Happy to be me!  Regardless of the thoughts and comments of others.  It is what it is!

Here's the link to Dr. Oz's program yall... Read and see what you think!  Maybe we can do this together!

"I'm feelin' good from my head to my shoes, Know where I'm goin' and I know what to do
I tidied up my point of view, I got a new attitude!"

Just another Manic Monday!

Monday, the second day yet the first work day of the week.  The day of the week before Tuesday and following Sunday.  It's just another day right?  I mean... We learned when we were little our days of the week, months of the year, numbers, and alphabets.  Its just another part of life right?  So why are Mondays so hard to adjust.  I have a tendency to wear a lot of black.  Maybe its the wanna be east coaster in me but I just love the color.  The mysteriousness, the drama, and the overall safety of the color.  However, I wear black mostly on Mondays... Go figure, it is the point of the depressing fact that you have to go back to the daily grind of work and adulthood.  You have to go back to hustling for another dollar when you really do live for the weekend?  I laid down last night perfectly fine and woke up with a blah feeling because its Monday.  It's funny because we get over it on Tuesday and have this escalation of emotions as the week gets closer to Friday only to get let back down Sunday night by 9pm because Monday morning is only a few short hours away.

I know this is a heavy topic for my very first blog post but hey that's why you blog right to get it off your chest!?  I promise posts to come will be more upbeat and light hearted!

LOL! Let me stop being so dramatic. You got to go through Monday to get to Friday so its all a part of life.  Monday's are a good metophor for life... The first step is always the hardest but you gotta take it to get through.

And that's how Flo sees it!
