Some websites I found....
http://www.puritan.com/
Puritan's Pride ALWAYS has excellent deals on all the multivitamins and health supplements you need. I seriously got almost a years supply of major vitamins for around 30 bucks, including shipping!
http://www.oyinhandmade.com/
It takes around 10 days for delivery, but this stuff smells so good you wont care. It's made out of all natural products, especially the Greg juice, which will have ladies' afros and locs smelling like a fruit smoothie or salad. Succulent, delectable, incredible i tell you. I let this one guy at my job use some of my whipped pudding on his hands, he loved the chocolate/cocoa smell, but the macho wanna-be thug ones said it smells like a tootsie roll. To hell with 'em!
You will not regret using her products, she is a mixing genius. Thanks oyinhandmade. Oh yeah, and there's a ten percent off sale between Aug 10-31. Jump on it people!

Vavavoom! Health and well-being, next chapter.
It's all in the mind, the key to feeling well. I made a routine I'm sure to stick with at home, because I dislike going to the gym and this way I don't have to travel far. As for the long absence, well, I'm back and that's about the only explanation I'm giving for now (faster connection, wuzzah!) to you. I'll be around with more updates on what I'm doing with my body by the end of this week, promise.
For now, since I'm over do for some cardio I've put off since yesterday, I will say that I bought a pedometer, bought a elliptical, some toning bands you jimmy off the wall in this really odd fashion, and a few sets of weights. I'm as serious as a heart attack about this. The funny thing is with the pedometer, It shows that i've walked, moved, or nervously jittered to the tune of 14 miles in about 5 days (mind you, I only cardio once the entire time) including walking down the street to my office job. I think that's pretty good for such a lazy gal as my self. So I can't use those same excuses everyone uses when trying to keep exercise up, like not having a high metabolism, because I jitter around too much anyway. I would say weight gain is the result of no exercise for years. That will put pudge on just about anybody. The largest bmi i've every had was 29, and that was due to weight alone, not aesthetics, because I've never looked as heavy as I actually was. I suspect strongly that I'm a really lazy mesomorph, but that label is another time for another day.
The plan is upper upper twice a week, and lower body three times a week, with a half hour of cardio 5 days a week. And to show you just how f**king serious I am, the next post is a little artwork courtesy of me to demonstrate what I feel is the ideal body type according to my kick ass personal goals, along with some real life inspiration of people who inspire me in my achieving goals.
The other component is what I eat. It's not been so good. It hasn't made me gain weight, but it sure put a stopper on things. So I've gone back to the good old days of old and cut out all dairy, white flour, sugar (high fructose corn syrup, to hell with you!), and saturated fat. We shall go by the rule of moderate to low carbs, high protein, and low fat.
At the end of this month, I will give an update on things scale-wise. Now to be honest, the scale makes isn't very important when losing body fat, it's the overall body fat percentage, which we will get into another day. Toodles all, and I shall be back!
Is anyone still reading this anyway? LOL

Away for a while
Wow, I just started this blog and I regret to tell you all that I'm very busy nowadays. My network adapter is fryed or something, so I have to use the university libraries system whenever I need internet access.
As for the workout business, I did 3-4 sessions of cardio last week, and if you coun't all the walking around campus I'm always doing, that's a lot I guess. This week I went in on Monday and earlier today on Wednesday, with some strength training at home (resistance ball). Hopefully I can squeeze in 45 mins tomorrow after my I run my errands tomorrow morning. ^_^ Then it's back in the gym on Friday with weight training. Wish me luck!
Oh yes, if you can see, I'm in the process of fiddling around with the links on the right side of the page alot. I finished up a few artworks that have been lying around for the past year, so the next time I get the chance to get online, I will try to post some art. Poetry is also an ongoing thing, I haven't written anything new, there alot of old paper and notebooks full of randomness laying around. When REAL LIFE GIVES ME A BREAK, I will be able to present something. Also, I'm debating whether or not I will take summer classes this year, as deadlines are winding down, and in the process of finding a job. Fun fun fun, I tell you. Is anybody having trouble with final exams? How are they going? Have you died yet??
Anyhoo, that's my piece for today, I'll see you in cyberspace some day in the near future. I know I am missing so much in the news and other blogs. Peace.

Sunday's workout.
Yesterday I took a walk around campus, shopped a little at the convenience stores.
Today I did around 60 mins of cardio and used the weight machines for the lower body.
I looked in the mirror today as I was changing and flexed my arm, which is still flabby mind you (I have a ways to go) but the muscle was looking...dare I say, bigger. whooo. I don't know how I feel about that. I think I might gain muscle easily. I remains to be seen though, because I need the cardio to show more tone. Contours are being intimated though.
Stay tuned for tomorrow when I embarrass myself on the upper body machines.

Friday at the Gym
Let's shoot for about an hour of cardio and both upper and lower body.
Then hopefully I can work up the motivation to do some core exerises. I hate 'em!
