We all know someone who has that Mom persona; you know what I’m talking about. She doesn’t have to be your Mom but those qualities just ring through to the point where if you close your eyes really tight, she could actually be your Mom. Read more

Let me give you a little insight into my thought process, I never really know what I’ll write about in this column until I begin. So with the help of The Today Show on NBC my topic came into our family room and delightfully spoke to me, YOGA PANTS. You know those pants that have become the new go-to-outfit for the grocery store, school dress (usually anything under middle school and over high school), the new age Mom jean, and for my Mother in particular; a very dressy classic pant that fits her ass like a glove. I can’t tell you how much I love the ease, the thoughtless simplicity, and the feeling that I get when I have on the “I-Look-Fit” style of yoga pants. Really except for my husband (who I know secretly wishes I’d change my “uniform”) I don’t know anyone in my circle who doesn’t like them. I suppose I’m somewhat weak because I can’t walk into a Marshall’s, TJ Maxx, or any department store for that matter and not walk straight to the workout wear as if in a trance. Yoga pants are my personal addiction; I guess you could call it my drug of choice. Read More…. www.curlielocs/fitness

Alright it’s practically Valentine’s Day again, that time of year where our thoughts run more in the romantic direction. As a consequence, the ads flaunting his or her admiration because “He went to Jared’s” (Kay’s Jewelry, Macy’s jewelry counter, or whatever jewelry store strikes your liking) will show you just how much your loved one really cares for you (Ahh). Or does this sound familiar, “Hallmark Cards say “Make Every Heart Happy” (have you priced greeting cards lately? It’s expensive making hearts happy). Ok, indulge me one more time because I’m on a roll, Kohl’s Department Store says, “Gifts From The Heart, It’s Love At First Save”. From your heart to their pockets, now that’s what I call love. Something else that’s a little unsettling to me is that we celebrate love officially only one day a year, but don’t we love every day? It’s much like Black History Month that we celebrate once a year; for those of us that are black aren’t we black year round? Why the labels on everything, can’t we just be?

First let’s get one thing perfectly clear, I WANT TO MEDITATE!!!!!! Okay, now that that’s out the way I feel I’m ready to continue (Breathe). These days the buzzword “Mindful Meditation” is to the yoga and meditation community what the words “Open Concept” is to home sales (can you tell I watch a lot of HG TV). OK Here’s a fun fact, let’s say there’s this swanky dinner party being held at the Top of the Mark’s rooftop bar in San Francisco and the attendees are Ellen DeGeneres, George Stephanopoulus (Good Morning America), Tina Turner, Russell Simmons, Kobe Bryant, Russell Brand, Katy Perry (I know her and Russell are no longer together but Girl Power wins), Democratic Congressman Tim Ryan (Ohio), Oprah Winfrey, Arianna Huffington, Editor-in-Chief of the Huffington Post, and Soledad O’Brien.

The other day some guy I thought was really fine said I was thick, what does that mean? Is “thick” good or bad? Couple that with my constant questioning of my butt being too big, or is my butt too small? Secretly wishing I looked more like that thin girl in my class. Wondering whether I do need liposuction on my stomach; I’ve got a gut you know. It’s a constant merry-go-round of doubtful questions taking up residence in my head. Am I too dark (yeah we still have that olden-day insecurity)? Is my forehead a bit too large, is my hair is too thin, too thick, do you think I need a nose, boob; you fill in the _________ job? I know you get the picture. What do you see when you look in the mirror and do you like her/him?
Tip: Drink a glass of water before you eat. The colder the water, the better! Your body has to work harder to keep your body warm during this time. Therefore, you burn more calories and feel fuller at the same time. This is a win, win situation.
Instead of grabbing sugary drinks (soda, juice, etc.), replace it with a glass of water. Start with one meal and eventually you will crave H20 with all meals. Next time you drink one of these sugary drinks, flip to the label to see how many calories you are partaking in. Some drinks have upwards of 300-400 calories. H20 has zero calories!

Happy New “Healthy” Year. So now that we have the formalities out the way let’s make an action plan. Not a resolution to be healthier, because unfortunately New Year’s Resolutions tend to be sadly broken. Losing weight ranks #1 and getting fit and healthy ranks #5 as two of the ten most failed resolutions (University of Scranton, Journal of Clinical Psychology /January 2014). There’s even a name for the downfall of our resolutions, it’s called Ditch New Year’s Resolutions Day. Really I’m serious, the day is on January 17 (every year) and it’s considered the most common day to give up on your resolutions (didn’t take us long huh). So why burden yourself with broken promises so early in the year, we really don’t need the stress. Don’t get down on yourself though- just don’t make resolutions! I’m not saying don’t strive to be a better version of yourself, because we all want that. I’m simply saying cut yourself some much needed slack. Read more here https://curlielocs.com/fitness/
