Brazilian Butt-lift

I bought the DVD set of Brazilian Butt-lift , it promises dramatic results in 60 days , with following the program, eating right , no cheating!! So far the DVD's are a great work out, after 10 minutes I'm sweating. From the reviews I'm seeing, some women are seeing results after 2-3 weeks of this program. You have to do it everyday so make time. I think that's my biggest challenge , the making time part , between work , school , homework and my son its difficult but I'm sure I can squeeze an hour a day to help better myself. My goal is to lose 15-20 lbs and tone up. I'm sure some of you will say I look fine but I want to get back to my pre-baby days and feel great in a swimsuit since my goal for this summer is to hit the beach atleast 2-3 times a month :D !!! I want to look great and feel great. I know as single moms its hard for us. For me , I'll admit I gave up on my diet after i got sick and went through so many things but I am back and focused so this is a personal NEED for me. I'll post before and after pics when I start seeing results. BUY THE DVD AND DO IT WITH ME !! You can get it at Beachbody.com or Amazon.com ! I'd recommend Beachbody since that's where I got mine from.

Good Luck !!! I'm excited!

A few great quotes to live by..

Over the years I have learned that what is important in a dress is the woman who is wearing it.
Yves Saint Laurent

We must never confuse elegance with snobbery.
Yves Saint Laurent

 

If winning isn't everything, why do they keep score?
Vince Lombardi

Winning is not a sometime thing; it's an all time thing. You don't win once in a while, you don't do things right once in a while, you do them right all the time. Winning is habit. Unfortunately, so is losing.
Vince Lombardi

Some cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go.
Oscar Wilde

By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest.
Confucius

Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment.
Jim Rohn

Don't taunt the alligator until after you've crossed the creek.

I loves FACEINHOLE.COM LOLz!

My bad I was a little grumpy , I ate too much when we ate at Mr. Chows in Cali LOL!

I LOVE this kind of shizz , doesn't the second photo look like me , just a LITTLE? lol!

I learn something new about myself everyday

Ever stop and realize you just did something you normally don't do? Hint: It's because you're growing up. ( hopefully)

I dislike using the phrase ' The OLD me ' but I shall just one time today.
The old me was mad at the world , questioning why all these things have happened to me, and just flat out lost.
Today's ME has stopped trying to find these answers and start to make my own path. When a door closes in my face, I reflect and figure out how to open a new door and follow it and so on. I pray more , I believe in God even when things don't go my way. I know he has a plan for me and I'm praying and working hard towards it. These past few months have been a test for me.

Anyways, today I caught wind that someone I highly dislike is getting demoted. At first I was all like '' Heck yeah fckin right '' smirkin , all of that. After a few minutes I sat down quietly to get back to work and I actually thought about it. Then I started to feel guilty. I do not want to be the type of person who laughs and finds joy in other peoples' downfalls. I said a little prayer to myself for forgiveness. I made a vow today that I would not tolerate that within myself because it is not who I am. I actually do feel bad for this person as much as I do not favor them. God knows what he is doing and it isn't my place to be giggling since I'd be pretty upset if I were in that position. I let it go after that and realized I am really forming into the person I want to be and I am.

I'll drink to that! * chuckles *

Love you - Brittney

This is the MY reason Why

Just a little fun with photos me and my baby had , he is so photogenic! When my days are rough I'm lucky to come home to this little guy I get to call my SON, I'm blessed !

We Judge people. Don't lie

It's just how the world is. Don't lie. I KNOW you do it too. The only person who does not judge is GOD.

Personally , my belief is the way you carry yourself is the way people will judge you.
If I see a man/woman with neat hair , well manicured and well dressed ( well dressed does not mean EXPEN$IVE!)... I'll think to myself '' Man they are really on point and professional. They care about how they present themselves ''.
Now If I see someone dress dirty , ill fitted clothing , smelly. Its one of two things , This person could be homeless or facing tough times OR this person simply does not care or own a mirror before stepping out.

Growing up, my Dad always said '' You don't have to be rich to have class ''

Then there's my story, as you guys can see , I like to dress because I love fashion/style/glam/makeup/glitter/sprinkles etc.. ALL that good stuff :)
I do make sure I am well presented ( my son too! since he IS a reflection of ME , remember that my mommies who read this!)

I'm judged everyday lol. I'm judged as being quiet , snobby, stuck up, Rich ( I WISH , read above , you dont have to be rich to have class ;) .... ) .. Some say I'm too young... Some are insecure with the name calling, rumor spreading. Aka I'm a homewrecker , I'd actually not ruin anyone's home since I'm a firm believer in karma so don't worry I promise I will not steal your boo!! anyways. blah blah blah kiss kiss!

The point I'm trying to make is that people WILL judge you no matter what. So don't let the horrible messy things people say get to you because they don't KNOW who you are , what you go through , anything. All that they see is the outer shell. So present yourself well and keep that attitude right.

Trust me it's the best thing you can do and its tough at first , years ago I would've shed tears. I'm a strong, stylish woman * chant that to yourself right now ;) * 

Till next time ^.^
