HOW DID I DO THIS?

Oh what a bad way to strat a morning.  I slid on some ice and took out part of a curb.  Gracefully, only by tire blew.  I tell yiu, my Kia was made for me.  It has been through a lot and has stood the test of time.  Don’t sleep on Kia’s.  I am only days away from my T.A.Y.E. rest day.  It has been long overdue.  The girls will be out of town and I have a day of pure enjoyment.  Yes I will hit the gym (hey it is routine) but afterwards it will be on a poppin.  Spa for infrared sauna, lunch somewhere nice, games at Dave and Busters, Pin up Bowling, Electric Bull Riding and then some dancing called whinning.  I don’t think it is like crying, but whinning of the body.  I know it is not a tyoical rest day, but MsFitness said do stuff you would not normally do.  I would be doing nails and running my kids everywhere.  The best part of this day is none of it will I be doing alone. 

As a school teacher, I find myself surround by adolescence and teenage drama. If it is not horny middle school-aged boys with x-ray vision, it is 12 to 14 year old girls with weight problems.  It use to be that starving themselves was an issue.  NOT ANYMORE!!! I find so many teenage girls overweight.  Yes there are many TV. role models that are not overweight, but they so not influence this “new” generation of teens.  On a regular basis, students ask what they can do to get in shape.  I am sorry if I offend anyone (not really) but at 14, the last thing I was thinking about was loosing weight.  I was active to the point I had to figure out how to find time to eat.  I am so tired of girls telling me they are not fat, they are thick.  What fool has influenced my young counterparts to believe that fatness is fly ness?  Oh I know, Nelly with AppleBottoms, Kimora with BabyPhat, Rappers of all sorts with fat azz females in their videos and Tyra who has put on weight and just has to be proud about it.  Stop the madness, PLEASE!  I get approached by so many YOUNGER men; I could right a How-To-Smile-and-Say-No-Politely manual.  I ask where are the ladies your age.  “You put girls in my age bracket to shame.” was one response I received.  Now do not get it twisted, I love the attention, but I am not ready to be labeled a Cougar yet!  I have a few months to 35, and then I will think like Demi.  All I am saying is if you have a teenager in your life encourage her to love herself first.  Then take her to the gym and feed her less Twinkies!!!! 

Peace! 

As a mother of two competitive cheerleaders (8 & 6), I often get overly excited during their season.  I enjoy the screaming fans, loud techno mixed music, layouts, back hand springs, tucks and rainbow of colors.  In the midst of all this, there comes a time for the mother to shine.  Here is the video of the Cheer Mom’s performing a routine.  We only had minutes to prepare, but we came in first place.  I am the one turning cartwheels and doing the toe touch in the end.  Red shirt and black jeans.
