Image
Are you caught up in the struggle to keep up with the fit life ? Are you on a weight loss journey and you are constantly procrastinating your work out or you just feel too lazy to go to the gym ?  Here are seven (7) amazing tips that has been of help in motivating me to work out and I know it will certainly be of help to you. Make sure you have a clear picture on what your fitness goal is.   For me, my goal is to have a healthy and well toned body (that I can put on display any time I want). You can put up a picture of what your fit model looks like just on your board and looking at it every morning inspires you to keep pushing until you get those results. Always prep your workout/gym wears at night just before you go to bed.   Setting out your gym wear makes dressing up very easy in the morning and it serves as a reminder that you need to work out once you wake up. If you are like me who loves to work out in the evening, then you can...

My name is CAT

Image
My name is Catherine and I turn 30 today. I live with my mum who is a divorcee. She just ended her marriage to my Dad the second time few months ago. I'm left with her being a pain in my behind till ‘’I find my hero’’, she said the day she pulled up with her luggage in front of my door unannounced. It’s mid-day already and everyone at work had said happy birthday with different looks on their faces. Some had the ‘’I wish you all the best and a genuinely happy life’’ look, some had the ‘’30 and yet no man’’ look, the rest had the ‘’where is the party at’’ look but couldn't really say because I had not celebrated my birthday since I turned 25. Well my life is pretty boring and I can’t wait to leave work and go home to my bed in peace. I stroked out the peace remembering my mother was home with me and the fact that she could bring back one of her supposedly ‘’HOT’’ DATES home today was not entirely out of the picture.  My night is ruined again on my birthday....

ZAPPED (The Love Series)

Image
Did I shock you when I didn't call back after you left me? Did I break that cord of stupidity you always string when you come back with lame messages just to get my attention? When I love, I love really hard and go all out.  With you, I loved unconditionally. I wanted things to work out even though my instincts advised otherwise. I let down my guards, not because I was foolish but because I called you my own.  It was a yes in my heart even with our unconventional relationship pattern. I looked forward to a continued and happy ending. My heart told me I was mistaken, but matters of the heart are quite conflicting at times I told myself. I struck the conviction that we were meant to be and I worked hard to see that happen and it eluded me that I worked alone. I didn't see the ''USED'' boldly spelt all over your actions. Toyed with my feelings, I gave a reason why you did that. Ignored me and allowed me do all the loving, I felt you needed to be taught. ...

Just how I want it.........Journey to Freedom

Disclaimer: If you clicked to read this post and your first guess was an inspirational piece or a good story....... Well I'm deeply sorry to disappoint you, its just one of the random thoughts my mind forces me to spew on my blog. Now lets get into it. Its going to be fun My friends has always known me as the one who has her life put together. The one who has it all figured out yet so nonchalant about it. Well my family has a different opinion. They know me as the talker who backs up her many talks with some little action. They just think of me as the lively one who has a bubly life regardless. As much as i'll like to think of that POV as true, well its not. Lets for a moment consider what my friends think of me. I don't have my life all figured out. Infact the good news as I may like to paradoxically say is that I have no clue where my life is headed. I used to think I knew exactly what I wanted out of life, but as it turns out,  all the things I have done in the ...

LOVE AND IT'S COMPLICATIONS

Image
Why do we need what we don't have? Why does love and everything that comes with it has to be so complicated ? You break up with someone and for some stupid reasons you want 'em back. Then you get 'em back and you find out that you didn't really want 'em. You just wanted to feel the victory of having to actually win over a person again. It's really interesting to know that the heart plays games with us sometimes. Well that's what we like to think. The truth is that we play those games on ourselves and blame it on the heart. We are told not to show when we love someone so we wouldn't appear "cheap". We love people that don't love us in return and the people who love us.......(forget it, we hate 'em). So my question is why does love have to be so complicated? Even when you are so in love with a person, sometimes you are constantly afraid that we may loose them. You end up not enjoying the relationship cause you are busy planing...

LET IT OUT....

Image
Sometimes, crying does the magic. I've had a really stressful week. The panic attacks were back and I couldn't really sleep at night. I skipped work today simply to avoid another mental stress. Adulthood has beaten me blue and black. I ain't whining but I have to put this here just to let us all know that we are all struggling with one thing or the other. I'm taking a walk just to clear my mind and i'm just crying and allowing myself soak in the moment. Sometimes I just loose my focus and being a goal getter, I feel like i've failed anytime I lack concentration. I'm afraid that someone may stop me to ask me what is the matter, but then again I don't want to mask my feelings. I know deep down its going to be fine and I'll remember the night I cried while taking a walk. My head is clear and I feel so light. I'm glad I let the emotions out. If you ever feel down or have so many thoughts bothering you, its ok to cry. Its ok to demask you...

HABITS THAT HELP YOU BECOME A BETTER PERSON

We strive to get better everyday and hope that the challenges of today will not show up in future. We live a day at a time and bask in the happiness provided by victories from our conquest. These habits will help you and I become better people. ○ Stop trying to please everyone. Humans have insatiable needs and you can't meet all. ○ Change is a constant thing in life, therefore stop fearing change and lift up the veil of limitation that fear places in your life. ○ The past is called "the past" because its behind. Stop living in the past, take the lessons every experience has taught you and move on. ○ Stop being hard on yourself. You will end up sucking up all the happiness you will ever have. Live a little. ○ Quit overanalyzing and overthinking everything. You will never get anything done by doing this. ○ Be free to always express yourself regardless. However bear in mind that in your expressions,  you should never hurt on infringe on other people's rig...
