L-Boogie’s Blog

WHOA! I am excited to be able to say I have officially quit smoking. It’s been an on and off process for many years..but the more I workout, the more energy I want /need and the less I’ve wanted to smoke. Now into my 2nd week, my workouts are stronger and longer since I’ve quit smoking.  I am using patches and tea tree toothpicks! They work well together! Peace! 

I appreciate the advice received and it has helped tremendously! Back to working out…and keep my prioritiies balanced. Peace, L-Boogie

I hate to admit it….but I fell right back into my bad habits after a few weeks of going strong.

I stopped working out daily, stopped eating properly and started smoking again. The weight I lost found its way back and today, I am at square one.  BUT, unlike the past, this time I am reaching out to my new bodybuilding family…so , and all advice is welcome.

I do this often…workout really strong for weeks..lose weight…eat great…then POW…BOOM…something happens, other things begin to take precedent and the bad habits resurface. 

For me, its mainly my "work". Yep, I am a borderline workaholic. It’s not my regular 9-5 mind you, but my own creative projects (I’m a libra, creating is like breathing).  So, I started working on a few projects I needed to finish (checkout www.tribesentertainment.com - I’m a publisher/producer).  And I, for some warped-ass reason, feel I need to give all my waking attention to these projects. To top it off, I was back to grabbing fast food on the way to the studio.  When the projects are done, I can focus on other stuff in my life, like my health. It’s warped….I tell you.

Of course, then I got a bad winter cold which wiped me out. That always throws you off your A game. Before I knew it…several weeks had past and I hadn’t worked out a day. 

Am I surprised? Nope..because my bad habits are always lurking around the corner :<  

I need figure out a way to find balance (that’s the libra life struggle). Balance of my work and balance of these old vs. new habits..until the new habits take over forever.

WHEW…it felt good to get that out. Thoughts???

L-Boogie..

I’m a hip hop head…die hard..and Common is definitely tops on my fav list.  I’ve been sweating my ass off to his new CD "Universal Mind Control"…very HOT and sexy dance tracks that keep me in a serious workout trance. For all you Hip Hop heads, get Universal Mind Control! You won’t be disappointed. Peace!       

On my walk today - I chose to listen to Lauren Hill…"The Miseducation" is one of my favorite CDs. So I’m strolling along with my partner (who had her MP3 locked on other tunes) and I’m groovin’ to Lauren, singing along…’it’s funny how money changes siutations’….and BLAM POW…I slip on a leaf and fall on my left knee…hard. That thang hurt too. My first thought was go the home and tend to my wound, now swollen, scratched up and slightly bleeding….Lauren still blasting….I said "Oh no, hurt or not..I’m finishing this walk! I continued up the trail, marching like a soldier to Lauren’s lyrics for 30 more minutes. That’s what’s up! L-Boogie
