PFT #4

PFT in the rain. Not a good idea at all. Push Ups: 36 Crunches:110 Run: 26:17 (Mile 1 was dry miles 2 and 3 the sky poured) Even if I could take of 30 seconds off for the rain for the whole thing or 30 seconds for miles 2 and mile 3, I'd still be 8, 4, or 2 points shy of where I need to be. So close. Can I please stop failing?

227/300 or 230/300 or 232/300

Ironically though this is 3 points higher than last week even with the rain so I must be doing something right.

Weight Loss Help Needed

So I need a tad bit of weight loss advice. I'm lifting more to work on pull ups 5 days a week (Right now I'm about to start week 4: http://www.marines.mil/…/Do…/PullupTrainingProgramNovice.pdf) and at work (Multiple Ice buckests every 15 minutes over 4-8 hours, Coffee Beans, Trash, ect). I'm still running 3-4 days a week and doing HIIT workouts 5 days a week with 2 off of on weekends. But what can I do to cut more. Right now I'm at 166.4 and I was grilled about what I've been eating by my Mom which is no bueno =( Anyway, any tips on what I should do to get down to 160 by May 1st or lower? On a real note I do need to get down to 156 by mid May though. If I get heighted up at 65.5 to 66 I could way 161 but if I get measured low I need to be at 156. I'd rather avoid the whole thing by being under but at the rate I'm going driving from Charleston to Beaufort to Bluffton everyday, I'm trying to give myself time because my sleep schedule isn't the greatest either. So, weight loss tips to loose another 10 pounds would be great so any tips, tricks, or solutions would be greatly appreciated.

A teenager battling stage 4 cancer passed away on Sunday, just four days after meeting her idol, Beyoncé Knowles.  This was her last wish and her dream came true.

With the help of her friends who started sharing the #EBOBMEETSBEYONCE campaign on social media, the Black teen managed to FaceTime with Beyoncé on Wednesday from her hospital room. 

Moreover, earlier this month, her family, classmates the school district organized a graduation ceremony for Ebony Banks at her hospital.

This beautiful Black girl managed to teach us to hope and to never give up. Her hard work paid off making her last dream come true. 

Sending prayers to this family at this time. Rest in peace, Angel.

BETA READERS WANTED

Hi Guys!

I’m so sorry I’ve been distant from here for a  bit but I’m back. I promise.

So a few things have changed with me.

1. I’ve lost 25 pounds. So after I lost my job in December I gained a bit of weight....ok 25 pounds to be precise. I was huge so I January with the persuasion of my Mom, I decided to loose the weight and stop feeling bad for myself. So I did. I’ve gone vegetarian and I started working out more and regularly and now I’m back to 161. Only 21 pounds until my goal of 140.

2. I’ve moved! I no longer live at home but I still visit every weekend. 

3. I have written another book and now I’m looking for Beta Readers =) I have decided to take things seriously with my writing since my first job (well two really) didn’t work out. I’ve always been told I’m a natural born writer so now I figure, why not go for it and try to get my work as an author published.

My new work is a Dystopian New Age novel set in the year 2045. The US is no more and now in its place exists the American Republic. All schools and most jobs are closed off to women with the exception of Stapleton University and the Ivy League.Three young women are each on their own journeys at Stapleton University. One dreams of escaping into medicine, while the other is consumed by an addictive love and passion, and a third is searching for parts of her soul that have been burned by the greed of the Republic. As seeds of rebellion are planted while dreams and dreams are cut short by societies expectations, who will survive in this tale of “Grace, Beauty, & Betrayal”. 

So if you would like to be a Beta Reader for me and give me constructive feedback on my book, I would sincerely appreciate it. Just email me at [email protected] or message me with your email.

Happy Birthday Denzel Washington | December 28th, 1954

It’s simple: You get a part. You play a part. You play it well. You do your work and you go home. And what is wonderful about movies is that once they’re done, they belong to the people. Once you make it, it’s what they see. That’s where my head is at.

On the morning of September 4, 1957, fifteen-year-old Dorothy Counts set out on a harrowing path toward Harding High, where-as the first African American to attend the all-white school – she was greeted by a jeering swarm of boys who spat, threw trash, and yelled epithets at her as she entered the building.

Charlotte Observer photographer Don Sturkey captured the ugly incident on film, and in the days that followed, the searing image appeared not just in the local paper but in newspapers around the world.

People everywhere were transfixed by the girl in the photograph who stood tall, her five-foot-ten-inch frame towering nobly above the mob that trailed her. There, in black and white, was evidence of the brutality of racism, a sinister force that had led children to torment another child while adults stood by. While the images display a lot of evils: prejudice, ignorance, racism, sexism, inequality, it also captures true strength, determination, courage and inspiration.
