Creating my own warm current

Its cold as Hades here in the ‘A’. That ain’t cool. One of the reasons I moved here was because of the temperate weather. And it has been cold here since October. Not a good look shawty. I could have stayed home for that. In my various travels on the internet, I came across a site that recommended exercise as a way to warm up.

That makes absolute sense to me. If I exercise it gets the blood flowing all over the place. Thereby warming me up. And maybe increased blow flow especially to my skin will be helpful in my fight against eczema. Hmmmmm?.... I cannot easily shake the feeling of cold once I get cold. I will shiver for around 3 hours once I get home. And I have the heat set on Satan.

Since I have ‘On Demand’ with my cable, and that On Demand has an exercise channel, I thought why not. So last night found me trying to decide between which workout programs to watch. There are so many, but not so many by Original people. Let me tell you this, I have a real problem with the pace that these all too perky white women set. Doesn’t ever match the music. This is a universal problem for me. But I suppose if this was my only problem, then I wouldn’t have any. I can always turn the volume down and follow just by looking.

I remember that when I was on that Cyber trim Air Force diet, I was required to exercise 2x a day. The very 1st thing in the morning and the very last things at night. I think that did something for my metabolism. Or maybe it was the supplements. I remember that I would break out in a sweat for damn near anything. So last night I did some kind of routine with cardio and weights. This morning I did a 10 minute workout thingy. I must say, I slept well, though I am very hungry this morning. I guess you can’t have the thunder without the rain.


Peace

Backsliding on Home

All right, all right….. I know I’m prolly setting myself up for failure. Especially since I’m about to go to Show & Prove; and y’all know how it’s done on vacation… But… I think…. I am going to get back on the “raw food” bandwagon. Two reasons. 1st reason: I feel guilty every time I put non-raw food in my mouth. And I try to rationalize it all out by eating a salad with it. Imagine how it all looks, BK (just an example. I don’t do fast food on the reg) veggie burger with cheese and all the fixins, onion rings (cause I only eat McDonald’s fries) a vanilla shake and a side salad. I rationalized that the fixins and the salad are raw and therefore count toward my goal of ‘high raw’. NOT. 2nd reason: And most importantly…. This morning I put on a dress that I couldn’t wear last summer. The dress was so tight I felt like a sausage in it. I almost gave it to Goodwill. But I wanted to wear a sweater today that I rigged last night and this dress was a good fit. I expected to have to wear al

"I Itch"

I have eczema. I have had it since I was a small child. My mother reports I’ve been spotted since infancy. I remember getting in trouble on purpose just to get the beating that would satisfy the itching for a minute. That weirded my Ole Earth out. I remember one of my godmothers used to slather me with bacon grease. She swore that that would calm the lesions. It did to some degree. But the dog became very friendly afterward. I still have outbreaks. Most of the time it’s a small outbreak. 80% of the time it occurs only on my arms, legs, and back. But it can pop out anywhere. Don’t sleep on adult eczema. It can get really bad, disfiguring and incredibly painful. I put it, mostly, on the weather. I usually have outbreaks in the winter or if I go somewhere and the weather is distinctly colder than my regular climate. I ALWAYS get something in the winter time. Whether it be light patches just where my bra strap rubs against my skin or all over my body. It feels like little need

Skirting the Issue

I put on a skirt this morning. That’s not impressive. I put on a skirt every morning. I don’t generally where pants outdoors. I pulled this skirt out of the dryer. Guess what? It is loose. Real loose. I am happy dancing. You gotta be mindful of the history of the skirt. This garment began its life as pants about 5 years ago. Back then I was still wearing pants. When I decided to cease my slacks wearing ways and actions, I did not want to incur the expense of having to replace garments that I wore on the regular. It made perfect sense, since I sew, to convert pants to skirts. That’s what I did with the skirt I’m currently wearing. The trick is the skirt will be a pencil skirt if you don’t have material to add. And who does? Also my skirts have to be long. (3/4) So I have these fitted pencil skirts that used to be pants hanging in my closet. They serve the same function that they did when they were pants. Maybe I’ll blog about why I don’t wear pants later. I said all that to
