I have been re-thinking this Instagram Stalker thing from ANOTHER ANGLE...<br />
<br />
It occurred to me that, maybe the "STALKER" wants the recognition.<br />
Why does that person who, in my words, "Went through my pictures like a hot knife through butter just pressing the LIKE button, only press like?<br />
<br />
Normally, they typically don't comment, they just press like. Is that person wanting a shout out? <br />
<br />
If you have ever done it, are you wanting a shout out? <br />

<br />
I am trying to become more consistent in my life.<br />
Been noticing that I am a fast typer. Which is trouble in the world of Instagram. (follow me a Coilyencounters, I know it is a SHAMELESS PLUG- moving on, lol)<br />
My typing doesn't matter here, on facebook or twitter, because I can correct the misspelled word or delete the post and start over. Instagram, however is not as user friendly.<br />
<br />
My commitment to myself is to become more consistent in areas of my life. I chose commitment rather than challenge. Due to the fact, that my mom has drilled in me the power of the tongue scripture, since I could read! lol<br />
<br />
The areas that I am committing to being consistent are<br />
<br />
This Blog<br />
Organization Skills<br />
Spelling<br />
Working Out<br />
Proper Diet (which means, I will limit pizza, ice cream and dessert to once a month)<br />
<br />
<br />
Funny how God is, to let me know that I am supposed to be doing this, I ran into one of my old supervisors Teresa J, who mentioned that she reads my blog. Heyyyyyy, Teresa! <br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://instagram.com/p/de1krJwMN8/" target="_blank">Here</a> she is with all this pretty coiled hair, outside of one of our local grocery stores.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
What's your focus? What is that thing that you need to commit, in order to bring focus into your life.<br />
<br />
Let's hit the mark, together...TOMORROW! <br />

Is there such a thing as Instagram Etiquette?<br />
I'm sure there is. However, the one that I would like to point out is, the (user name) has liked these photos.<br />
<br />
I'm sure that you have seen something like this.<br />

<br />
My opinion of this type of post is I think this poster is "THROWING SHADE". Yes, I said it!!<br />
This is in my opinion a way to call someone a stalker, on the low.<br />
This says to ME, Look at (user name), they have gone through my photos like a hot knife through butter, just clicking the LIKE BUTTON.<br />
<br />
What is your opinion on this? I'm curious!<br />

Yesterday I was asked, 'How much more weight do you plan to lose?'</div>
<div>
15 lbs is usually a dress size, for my body. I really am not focused on the weight. </div>
<div>
Gotta tone this body. I just want to be a size 8.</div>

Currently, I am alternating between Kettleworx and Black Girls Workout Too.</div>

<br />
"No excuses" has been my mantra for awhile. Mostly, it just included my fitness lifestyle. Meaning, there was no excuse for me, to NOT work out!<br />
<br />
Lately though it seems my mantra has taken a turn. It is funny how God will bring you back to something. I haven't really been keeping this blog up to date.<br />
<br />
My excuses were:<br />
No time<br />
Bad camera<br />
<br />
<br />
Well, yesterday...God fixed all of that.<br />
Over on twitter, lil ol' me, answered a question from my local radio station.<br />
The question was, what will you wear on your first day back to school.<br />
No, I am not in school, but hey, who tells the truth in social media. LOL<br />

Working out is Hard! Excuses, those are easy. It seems like I can come up with a million excuses why I can't work out. I'm tired, I went to bed late, or I won't have time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Each day, my thick chick wrestles with the fitness goddess that I want to become. Some days, the thick chick wins. Today, she lost. I woke up this morning, the sun was shining. I thanked God for the sun and the ability to work out. Then, I grudgingly entered Toliver's Gym (my home workout area).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The workout was the stability ball with Tom Holland of <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Supreme90Day" target="_blank">Supreme90Day</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have done Supreme 90 with good results. My mantra is, If It Is Broke, Then Don't Fix It.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I like this workout. I have tried others Jillian Michaels, Leslie Sansone, Piloxing and Zumba.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Nothing really challenges me, like Supreme 90. I know that I will walk away sore and better, as a result. The workouts with Tom are pretty much all over the place, but I like it. He works for me. One thing he says that changed how I felt about the difficulty was ....If it doesn't CHALLENGE you, it won't CHANGE you!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'm wanting to be healthy for my grandkids (whenever they should arrive, I'm in NO RUSH). At this time I just enjoy hanging out with my 4 year old nephew at the park.</div>

Decided that I would be more consistent with the blog.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Here I will begin to post my random thoughts and adventures in my life. During the past year, alot of things have changed in my life. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I became a major thrift addict. I actually had to become an addict. Why? Well, my body went through a major change. I went from an 18 to a 10. Last winter, I was an 18 this winter I am in a 10. Working towards an 8, with a vengeance. My birthday is in a few days (47 to be exact).</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I will be 46 years old. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
In my home gym, I have pictures of other fellow 40 year olds:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Janet Jackson</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Halle Berry</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Mary J Blige</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
40 can be very sexy, indeed!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Off to complete this challenge 95 squats and 50 pushups..</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Each day my inner THICK CHICK and I argue. The argument goes like this</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
TC: Girl, you look good. We can miss a day.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
ME: Naw, we really got to get up</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
TC: Its cold and this bed is warm</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
ME: We got plans for 47..... Remember....Consistency is Key</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<br />
What did it for you?? What made you lose the weight?<br />
<br />
<br />
Almost 2 years, I was in NYC visiting my favorite aunt. She kept pulling at this lump under her arm. Saying how it was hurting. <br />
<br />
Fast forward to last December, I noticed the same lump. Mine didn't hurt, however, it felt as if it were growing. I would go to the dr and have them tell me it was nothing. However, I was scared and I wanted to do everything to prevent that from becoming a reality.<br />
<br />
<br />
Later on I would be watching Dr. Oz. He was saying that if your waist is above 35 inches that you put yourself at risk for all sorts of disease, such as; hypertension, cancer, diabetes and a host of other issues. My waist was 38. During this journey, I have had a very many highs. However, the one that made me cry the most was when my waist measured in at 34. Currently, I have a 31 inch waist.<br />
<br />
I felt as if, Dr Oz came sat on the couch and held my hand. Rather than choosing to be scared to DEATH, I got scared into LIFE.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Healthy eating began that day!<br />
<br />
One of the best things I was told was by a personal trainer..She told me to pretty much think of food as FUELING my body rather than feeding my body.<br />
I have given up soda.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
The strongest thing I drink is a smoothie.<br />
Breakfast will be a <a href="http://www.twopeasandtheirpod.com/green-smoothie/" target="_blank">Green smoothie</a>, oatmeal with fruit or Kashi cereal with fruit.<br />
Snacks are Almonds, string cheese or Fruit.<br />
Lunch could be a sub (subway) or chili and a salad from Wendys..Jr Hamburger from Wendys with fruit cup or side salad..<br />
Dinner - could be anything from Chinese food to actually something healthy.<br />
<br />
Sample dinner is Grilled chicken, baked sweet potato spinach.<br />
<br />
I try to stay away from processed food and eat mostly fresh fruit and veggies.<br />
<br />
Yes, I still eat pizza and ice cream. I just don't eat a whole pizza or a whole tub of ice cream, like I used to.<br />
<br />
<br />
Another statement that woke me up was by none other that Richard Simmons.<br />
Richard Simmons was on the Dr's shortly after the Dr. Oz epiphany He stated, 'Each time that you overeat, you are in essence creating food suicide.' <br />
<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Also, I recommend a good support system. <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/fit4lifegroup/" target="_blank">Fit For Life Sisters</a> is the one that I use. It is Christian based and filled with awesome ladies.</div>

She also states that she feels that going natural is a political choice, as well. Not really sure how I feel about that statement either.</div>

For me, each time that I went natural it was because this tenderheaded girl, does not like to many hands in my hair. I always hated going to the beauty shop. </div>

By now most people have either heard of or read the book by E.L. James. Supposedly, Selena Gomez is going to play Anastasia Steel. Don't know how to feel about that one.<br />
<br />
On to the title of this post...<br />
<br />
Shades of Orange:<br />
<br />
During the past 5 months, I have worked my <i>bootay</i> off. During that time, I have gone from a size 18, weighing in at 221 lbs. Currently, I weigh 185 and wear a size 10, depending on the cut. <br />
<br />
Looking over my photos, its easy to see orange is one of my favorite colors.<br />
<br />
As stated on http://crystal-cure.com/orange.html Here is what is said about ORANGE.<br />
<br />
Orange is a power color. It is one of the healing colors. It is said to increase the craving for food. It also stimulates enthusiasm and creativity. Orange means vitality with endurance. People who like orange are usually thoughtful and sincere. Lady luck's color is orange.<br />

I started out with Jillian Michaels, thanks to my #OGcurly -Crissy</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Began to notice that I felt good after working out, but not really challenged. After 30 days of Jillian, I moved on to Supreme 90 by Tom Holland. I love his workouts! Tom reminds me of myself. He starts on one thing and then next thing I know, we're doing something else. Talk about muscle confusion. The 10 set of DVD's cost 19.99 at most locations. (Walmart, Amazon and Dollar General) You will need a stability ball and weights for most workouts. However, if you don't have the ball, most videos show how to workout without it.</div>

I kind of like it. Looks like it needs just a little more shape to it. </div>

Perhaps, Wendy will start rocking her natural hair.</div>

Usually, I do this when I need to hear something special just from him. Being the cry baby that I am, feeling rather proud of myself.<br />
Only when I was introduced as his daughter, did I get emotional.<br />
When it is pretty outside, I miss him. Mainly, because I can imagine him golfing. Then, after golfing he would call and just hang out at my house. <br />
<br />
While at my dad's church, I noticed 3 coily girls. Yes, I invited them to the May 19th event. One remembered an event that I had a few years back. (insert smiley face)<br />
<br />
Last night ,as I was talking with Karen, I told her of the big plans that I had for my hair.<br />
<br />
It was supposed to turn out like this:<br />

Nothing special being done. Today is a day of reflection.<br />
<br />
A friend once wrote the following about me..The "March Fourth" thing has always resonated with me:<br />
<br />
Know that you are <strong>victorious</strong> in all you set your mind to because....... you were predestined to arrive "on stage" precisely on the day after the "<strong>MARCH FORTH</strong>" command was given! The next expletive uttered was by your mother when she hollered out loudly and proclaimed, .............<strong>"LAWD!!....have Marci!"</strong><br />
<br />
This little girl is still here, still wanting to do things that are so different from the NORM!<br />

<br />
Brown is my favorite color. When I want a POP of color, then PURPLE is what I run to. I love to think it is because those colors represent who I AM. I am a PISCES, LEO RISING. The purple represents the water, that is linked to the FISH in me. However, the BROWN represents the LEO, that is also in ME!<br />

I went to my library yesterday and asked to see if there was a copy of " The Science of Black Hair" by <span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px;"><b class="h3color" style="color: #e47911; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Audrey Davis-Sivasothy</b> (Author)</span>. <br />
<br />
Guess what they told me...that I would have to apply for a book request. It would then be sent to the main library in my town for review. WHAT THE WHAT!!!!!<br />
Looks like, I am back to building my personal library.<br />

<br />
I don't know my exact Big Chop date. <br />
<br />
Just like I don't know the exact date of my baptism. I do remember each time, that I did do the Big Chop and each time I got baptized.<br />
<br />
I know you are only supposed to be baptized once. However, the first time I got baptized, I was made to do it. Gotta love my mom. Ok, I am veering off, but here's the deal.<br />
<br />
Sometimes, when you think that your hair isn't growing; just envision a little girl and her hair at that age. Knowing that my hair is coming up on 3, due to the fact, that my Big Chop was done in the fall. <br />
Haven't been brave enough to go to a hairstylist, since.<br />
<br />

Thrifting to be exact.<br />
He has a daughter that is 10. I got all excited when we found, Aeropastle jeans and a Talbot's dress.<br />
(G) just looked at me like..What the WHAT!! <br />
<br />
We got her 8 pairs of jeans, 3 dresses and a pair of shorts for $35.00. I was telling G, that he can just buy her some really cute tops at Old Navy or Ross. <br />
<br />
While we were there, there was another guy (about 7 years older than ). The other G, asked G, if we were married? Then he says, I love your girls hair. Yall, my hair was a HOT MESS. It rained and I was wearing a fro. Can you say SHRINKAGE? <br />
He went on to tell G, it is so good to see a woman embrace the hair, that God has given her. Yes, my friend, you are dating a confident woman, put a ring on it!<br />
<br />
Wonder how long he will go before, he decides to put a ring on it! lol<br />
