Weekend Weigh In - Bit by the Kickboxing Bug!

0 comments
Hey everyone! This past week went very well. I stuck to my diet and I was able to fit in 5 days of exercise. I have practically cut out all breads, pastas and rice and I am replacing them with more veggies and fruits. This is a HUGE sacrifice for me because I am a big carb fan. However, I definitely see a difference in my appearance and I don't feel deprived or extra hungry so I'm going to continue doing this. Just to give you an idea of what my daily menu looks like, I usually have a Greek yogurt with fruit for breakfast (very filling), salad with grilled chicken for lunch and lean meat or fish with veggies for dinner. Unfortunately, I still struggle in the snack area. For some reason, I have not been able to completely shake my desire to snack. Since I haven't been able to curb these cravings, I have tried to at least eat better snacks which include fresh fruit, veggie sticks, low fat fruit pops and an occasional Lays potato chip, or two (not healthy, but I'm being honest here). 




Now for my exercise routine. I stumbled upon a kickboxing workout On Demand this week and I absolutely LOVE it! It is the most fun I have ever had during a workout. I feel so empowered and strong when I'm kickboxing it's unreal! The choreography is fairly simple, which is important for me because I am very uncoordinated, and the moves feel like I'm doing a self-defense class more than a workout.  Best of all, I burn over 600 calories in a 45 minute routine! #winning I suggest kickboxing for those of you who may not have a lot of time to devote to working out and want to get the most out of each session. It's a total body workout and by the time you finish, you'll be sweating buckets. It's definitely worth a try. Overall I worked out 5 times last week for 270 minutes and burned 2,920 calories! I actually look forward to my workouts now that I am beginning to see results. I only lost a pound last week *insert sad face* but I didn't gain any weight so I'll take it. I must be building muscle (or at least that's what I'm telling myself these days) since I am following a good workout routine and diet regimen. We'll see what happens this week. I figure I'm not where I want to be, but I'm not where I used to be either, so I won't complain. 

How did you do last week? Weigh in below.

Killer Mike Puts Fan In Check After Being Called A Bitch

0 comments



Rapper Killer Mike recently had an exchange of words with a “fan” via Twitter after Mike was called a bitch (those are fighting words where I’m from). Apparently the guy (who is white) was offended by an interview that was posted on HotNewHipHop in which Mike discussed his opinion on new white rappers.

“Killer Mike, who was interviewed on the Combat Jack Show alongside his producer and fellow rapper in Run The Jewels, El-P, explained that as he sees it, new White rappers brought “self-pity” to rap.”I think what White people brought was self-pity,” Mike said. “Not you in that [talking to El-P] but a lot of the new White rappers just brought that. I’m sorry. It’s no disrespect. Complaining about a parent and shit is cool but I’m from a community where mothafuckas lost both of their parents to crack. Mothafuckas didn’t even know their… Like, my grandmother raised me. I never knew my mom and dad. So I feel that. And I think that, as a Black audience, we appreciated it because it was something different but that don’t make you more in touch with your feelings than me.” Killer Mike continued to explain his stance, “I’m not saying that experience isn’t worthy. I’m not saying it isn’t valuable. I’m just saying that it’s not special because every human being experiences love, pain and letdown. Your thing is no more special. A lot of times, as Americans and in this country, we feel like our suffering makes us special. You’re special because you’re a human being. How you deal with your suffering can make you extraordinary. Are you going to use it for self-pity or are you going to use it to help others?” Not to end on a negative note, the ATLien said that he respects any emcee who gets behind the mic.”












I’m guessing that this guy is fairly new to Twitter judging from the fact that he only has ten followers. Someone should have schooled him on how Twitter works, and informed him that he has to be careful of what he says on Twitter because EVERYONE can see what he posts.

You can’t disrespect a person (celebrities included) and not expect a response. Hopefully in the future he’ll choose his words more wisely. A lot of times it’s not what you say, but how you say it. He could have easily voiced his opinion about the rapper without calling him out his name, and Mike probably would have responded differently…but he didn’t, and Mike Bigga checked him…Welcome to Twitter homie.

Are Former Destiny’s Child Member LaTavia Roberson And Producer Don Vito Expecting A Child?

0 comments


It’s been confirmed that former Destiny’s Child member LaTavia Roberson is expecting a child…ironically due on Beyonce’s birthday September 4




Rumor has it that the baby’s father is well known Atlanta music producer Don Vito (the light skinned dude that was fighting on Kandi Burruss’ tv show The Kandi Factory).

It was also revealed that LaTavia recently signed a production contract with hit reality television producer Carlos King since she’s ready to open up about her past, pregnancy and plans for her future.

Executive Producer Carlos, who also did “RHOA”, “Oprah’s Season 25 Behind The Scenes,” “Real Housewives of New Jersey,” says, “I’m excited to work with LaTavia to effectively tell her story on television. This is her first time speaking out about her past. This woman has endured more than the public even realizes, and once they hear half of it, they will be in awe. She is a true survivor!”

And let’s not forget about that tell-all memoir that’s been rumored to be in the works for a while now. THAT is due out later this year. The press release states:

Production plans include developing a reality show documenting Latavia’s pregnancy, the ups and downs of her relationship with her child’s father and her past battle with molestation, alcoholism and jail time. Her struggles to distance herself from the negativity surrounding her untimely departure from Destiny’s Child, still follow her, but LaTavia is determined to clear the air once and for all. Future plans also include returning to the studio to showcase her voice for the first time as a solo artist and the final release of her highly anticipated “tell all” memoir due later this year!” (YBF)

Diddy’s Maybach Pulled Over At Gunpoint

0 comments



Maybe it’s time for Sean”Diddy”Combs to leave Los Angeles and go back home to New York, Atlanta, or Miami (or wherever he chooses to lay his head other than LA). First the music mogul’s home was swatted, and now they’ve swatted his Maybach.

We’ve learned Diddy had just been dropped off at the Soho House … an ultra-exclusive, private club in West Hollywood. Diddy’s bodyguard and another person drove Diddy’s $500,000 Maybach away from Soho, but they didn’t get far.We’re told someone called 911 and said someone inside the Maybach had a gun. At least 9 squad cars roared to the scene. Cops pulled their guns and ordered the occupants of the Maybach out of the car and made them lie prone on the ground, until they discovered there weren’t any guns. The street was closed down temporarily until deputies gave the all-clear. (TMZ)

Momma Dee wins! Scrappy and Shay are Officially Together!! s...m...h...

0 comments


So apparently Momma Dee gets her wish! Lil Scrappy and Erica Dixon are over...for now.  Scrappy and Shay Johnson are apparently together now. I hope she realizes she is his SECOND CHOICE. After how he humiliated her on national television why would you go back to him??? But if she is comfortable with that then oh well... *Kanye shrug* 

 Lil’ Scrappy attended Uptown Magazine’s Project13 event in Atlanta, on Monday without his fiancee. Shay was seen on her man's arm.

Erica Dixon who also attended the event reportedly avoided the twosome. Instead she posed solo on the red carpet without her engagement ring and responded:

I do give back, just gave my scraps away…

It's also been reported that Shay and Scrappy are planning to get married! But he can't afford to buy her a ring yet because Erica finally put him on them papers...and all of his earnings from Love and Hip Hop Atlanta are being garnished and going straight to Erica. Now that's how you get 'em back!! *Ching Ching* Get them dollas' boo!


Tamar Braxton shows PROOF she is NOT bleaching her skin!!

0 comments
Tamar has had enough of the "she's bleaching herself" rumors! She posted a photo to twitter showing proof that she has vitiligo and has had it for years. 

Tamar posted: Although I have NOTHING to prove….I have NOTHING to LIE about! #donetalkingaboutthebleachB.S.#tamartheone


In her recent interview with EBONY magazine she shared her battles with her skin condition.

“Anybody with skin issues knows that that’s a very sensitive subject and that’s why I’ve never shared that I have vitiligo because I do. I’ve always had it, since I was a young girl. It’s not as bad as others because everybody has it differently, but I’ve certainly had mine diagnosed. That’s why I tan. People say, “You bleach your skin!” But I tan just so I can have a better tone on my skin, boo!

It’s gotten worse since I’ve become pregnant. If you shake my hand now, to me it’s more noticeable. But when you get diagnosed with a skin disorder, it’s hard. It does weigh on your self-esteem. It really does. But I’m done defending that. I’m not bleaching my skin and if I were bleaching my skin and I felt like saying so, I would but for the record, I am not.”

Single MOMS of Atlanta - New Reality Show COMING SOON!

0 comments

Finally a positive reality show that showcases the lives of single moms. Single Moms Of Atlanta follows seven single, independent women living in and around the Atlanta Area. Watch as they share their lives raising their children without the benefit of a partner.

Being a single mother is never easy.You are the provider, disciplinarian, comforter, counselor, teacher etc. You perform the roles of two people, the father and the mother. Successful single moms accept the responsibilities and challenges of single parenting. They neither minimize nor exaggerate problems but seek solutions. They acknowledge the difficulties (such as a lack of personal time, a restricted social life, sole responsibility for meeting multiple needs, and financial stress) without self-pity or bitterness. No matter what trials and tribulations you face as a single mother.The most important need for your children is to feel unconditional love. 

Real Life, Real Women, Real Issues!!


This concept was developed by single mother - creator and executive producer Ms. Charnell Williams Co Creator/Castmember/Executive Producer of Single Moms Of Atlanta. A native of Atlanta, Ms. Charnell is the mother of 3 children. She's an advocate for single moms worldwide & this show was developed based on her own life experiences dealing with divorce and becoming a single mother. She's an outspoken, honest, loyal, determined woman. Charnell has been faced with many trails, tribulations and hard times to deal, but because of her steadfast faith, she believes that you have to continue to dream. Just because man says no, GOD always says YES!! You have to create your own opportunity if one is not given. You have to be your own vision board.Single Moms Of Atlanta was created to give single moms across the globe a since of hope. That you can do all things. No amount of struggle can stop your hustle. You have a voice. Don't stop dreaming. Keep trying until the wheels fall off. One of her many sayings "As long as you have breath in your lungs, GOD is giving you another opportunity to succeed".

Stay Tuned for release date!

Beyonce Cancels Belgium Show (Is Blue Ivy 2.0 on the way)

0 comments
According to AP reports, Beyonce just cancelled tonight's show in Belgium at Sportpaleis in Antwerp on her Mrs. Carter Show World Tour citing 'exhaustion and dehydration' as the reason. Now we all know what that's usually code for...'pregnant' *sighs*. 

I really hope she's not with child because  I'm looking forward to seeing her live this summer (as are many people) and I'd personally prefer not to see her pregnant and twerking, or pregnant and sitting atop a stool for the entire performance. I guess we'll just have to wait and see if Blue Ivy 2.0 is on the way or if Bey just needs some Gatorade and a nap...

Get well soon Bey! 

Weekend Weigh In (Week 5) - Picture Update!

0 comments
Saturday was supposed to end my 10 day juice fast/cleanse but unfortunately due to medical reasons that didn't workout. I had to go on antibiotics for a sinus infection and my doctor advised me against the cleanse while on meds because it would be too harsh on my stomach. Instead, I juiced breakfast (I tend to be a little hard headed) and ate full lunches and dinners minus the rice, bread and pastas. However, I was able to get in a full 6 days before I had to end it and I lost 3 pounds. Now, I expected to lose a bit more but I am down a full dress size since I started this journey last month so I won't complain.

The picture above on the left is from 4/5/13 and the one on the right is from this weekend at the gym, 5/11/13. Not too shabby for a month's work, huh? Sidebar: For all of my concerned readers, I promise you I have more workout gear than this grey T-shirt, it's just a coincidence that I had this on when I took the pic. I will be sure NOT to wear this for my next picture update. Lol! #youcare 
Anyway, I'm still working out at least 4 times a week for an hour but now I'm breaking it up between 45 minutes of cardio and 15 of strength training. This way I'm not completely losing focus of the toning aspect by applying all my time and energy on cardio. I do think that I'm building muscle, which would explain why I didn't lose more weight during my fast, and my tummy is noticeably smaller.  so I'm definitely on the right track.

So, that's my weekend weigh in. Just stick with it and you will see results. There's no secret method and no magic pill (unfortunately). Just simply eat right and exercise. How'd you do this weekend? Weigh in below.

French Montana’s Ex-Wife, Deen Kharbouch Bashes Him On Twitter

0 comments


What do you do when you’re sitting in the ER with your sick son and you can’t get a hold of his rap star father? If you’re French Montana’s ex-wife Deen Kharbouch you hop on Twitter and put his ass on blast.



This isn’t the first time Deen has bashed her ex via Twitter. She also took to Twitter to express her frustrations with Montana after he dumped her after he signed with Bad Boy Records and started blowing up.



(Twitter screenshot taken from HipHopGossipSite)

In an interview with THE BOOMBOX, French revealed he and his wife, Deen Kharbouch, separated, saying “Man, I couldn’t do it. That’s why we got separated. At first it was smooth, but then as much as people think that money changes you, it’s changing them around you. A person ain’t gonna treat you the same now that they think you think you something.”"You around so many beautiful women, that’s a conflict too,” French said. “It’s just about finding somebody that understand the game, what you’re into. But then on the flip side, you gotta understand their game, what they into.”

A video shoot for Jennifer Lopez's new song "Live it Up" took a dangerous turn on Sunday when gunshots were fired at the scene.

"Extra's AJ Calloway caught up with Lopez's boyfriend, Casper Smart, at the annual Costume Institute Gala at NYC's Metropolitan Museum of Art, where he explained what happened.
Smart said, "Maybe like 200 yards down or something, we heard firecrackers or gunshot and me and Gus, her head of security, just went and grabbed her and took off."

Pitbull was also on location for the shoot. Fort Lauderdale Police confirmed that officers responded to a call of shots fired, but the individuals involved in the shooting had fled.

Weekend Weigh In: Still Juicin'

0 comments
I'm still on my 10 day juice fast (which ends this Saturday) and I am thoroughly enjoying it. No annoying headaches, more energy and just feeling pretty good in general. For breakfast, I juice 2 apples, 2 oranges, a carrot and some ginger and this yields about 2 cups for me which is just enough. For lunch or dinner I'll have some kale, spinach, celery (yuck!), cucumber and apple. I hate celery for many reasons, most of all the horrid smell but it's good for you and it's a cheap veggie so I include it in my juices. As I said before, I juice by sight, so I can't tell you exactly how much spinach and kale to use (since neither yields much juice) but I can tell you that whenever I'm falling short of my 2 cup requirement I add an extra apple of half a cucumber. Both of these make good amounts of juice and they'll help you get to 2 cups. They are also inexpensive and are great for juicing on a budget. Now, contrary to what you may be thinking, these juices actually are quite filling. I always drink a full 8 oz. cup of water right after each juice and it always leaves me full. By the time I'm hungry again, it's time for my next juice (or meal). I've been alternating between juicing my lunch and my dinner just because of time constraints and my work schedule but for the most part, I'm juicing 2 meals a day. My one, non-juice meal for the day is always a meat/fish and vegetables. No bread, rice or pasta. If I feel like a snack, I'll have a piece of fruit. Really trying to steer clear of the bad carbs and sweets that I love so much. Keep me in prayer y'all!



As for my exercise routine for last week, I met my workout goal with 5 workouts for a total of 240 minutes and 2151 calories burned. I mixed it up a little between the elliptical and some great Zumba and aerobic workout videos I've found on YouTube (I love technology).

I didn't weigh in this weekend because I want to wait until I complete my juicing fast this Saturday. So, I'll weigh in on Sunday and report back to you. I won't lie though, I really want to sneak on the scale and just see where I'm at so far, but as hard as it is for me (I'm use to weighing myself daily) I'm going to hold out until the weekend.  My stomach is noticeably less bloated so I really do believe that I've lost some weight and inches (kicking myself for not taking my measurements) but we'll just have to wait and see...

Anybody else juicing with me?
