Hey guys I'm back with some more diet and exercise tips and reminders. If you have diabetes in your family like mine do ensure you watch what you eat and try to exercise for the max every day at least 30 mins a day or every other day for at least 2o mins. Remember to have your glass off water every hour, there is flavored water for those off us who don't like plain water. Remember to write down in your diary or journal what you eat on a daily basis until you can control your daily intake. Remember everyone is different and the diet and exercise plan that your friend is on may not work for you so design yours to suit your daily lifestyle commitments. Remember to weigh yourself at the end off the week and journal it to see how you are progressing. Also guys remember as you exercise you need to change up your workout routine because your body will get accustomed and stop shedding the weight. Well guys take care off yourselves because someone out there loves you ...

Hey guys I'm back just kinda busy these days. I have an exam on the 15th of June and as a wife and mother I have to practically joggle everything around it and believe you me it ain't easy. I just want this exam thing to hurry up and finish. One of my friends want to hook me up with part time lecturing  but I really don't know, I will have to move from focusing on me, family, work and exercise and add students and staff meetings to it, hmmmm. I really don't know, why can't I win the lottery like the next person out there is that so hard to ask for?? Well I really have to think over this teaching thing because I am not sure how I feel about it and then there is the issue off discussing it with the hubby, not really in the mood for all the "small talk" he will give me. So guys stay tuned to see what I intend to do. Today was GREAT we had a birthday lime at work, the food and company was great but strangely enough I had no feeling for "strong drink...

Good day guys this was sent to me by my girlfriend     Noella     I am not quite sure where she got it from but i sooo wanted to  share it with you guys.  But the way life is going these days we  need a little laughter to keep the heart pumping healthy. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Why do supermarkets make the sick walk  all the way to the back of the store to get their prescriptions while healthy people can buy  cigarettes at the front. Why do people order double cheeseburgers, large fries, and a diet coke.   Why do banks leave vault doors open and then chain the pens to the counters.   Why do we leave cars worth thousands of pounds in our driveways and put our useless junk in the garage.   EVER WONDER ...   Why the sun lightens our hair, but darkens our skin?   Why can't  women  put on mascara with  their mout...

This post is dedicated to Aaliyah Johnson  and to many other kids like herself who were or who are currently being abused by someone they trust and respect. I have a 6 year old so these types of crimes hit home every day. As parents we need to be the eyes, ears, voice and brains for our kids . We need to watch them and inspect them and most importantly TALK TO THEM ON A DAILY BASIS ON WHAT IS A RIGHT TOUCH AND A WRONG TOUCH AND WHO THEY CAN TELL if they are not sure. Please check this clip below from our local newspaper on Aaliyah Johnson, poor thing SAVE THE CHILDREN Save the children. In light of the death of two-year old Aaliyah Johnson, who was allegedly sexually and physically abused, Minister of Gender, Youth and Child Development Verna St Rose Greaves yesterday appealed to citizens to be vigilant and take action to save the children who are being abused. On Easter Sunday, Aaliyah's unresponsive body...  Read more »   Comments (101 God Bless you Aal...

Sometimes it is so hard to get back into the mood to study. This is the reason why sometimes when I have exams approaching between holidays I try my very best to study or at least read some notes every night but this time I didn't and now I want to get back into into it and it is soooo hard. I recently started to use a free speed reading software called spreeder   and I think it it great! I love reading so investing some time using this free software is priceless. Now I have the tools to bring me to the point of reading a\my text book over the course of one week. So guys try it and let me know if you like it to. Take care guys until tomorrow please God.

Well people I must add this to my blog..... Yesterday I took my mom who is a senior to a bank in the mall to cash her pension cheque and get my son a toy. However on our way out my son wanted some caramel popcorn, so we made a pit stop by a popcorn boot so I got him some popcorn however when we left my mom tasted it and wanted a cup. This is where the drama started with the "popcorn girl" I gave my 6 year old $20 dollars to go get my mom cup and the popcorn girl gave him the biggest cup she could find. So I proceeded to the popcorn stall and politely asked the popcorn girl to change it to a smaller cup and she told me it was there "Policy" not to take back and make changes.  Well I don't have to tell you guys what transpired next....

Hey Guys just a gentle reminder to get your diet diary started. This is beneficial for those off us who are very greedy, lol and have a very low metabolic rate. Remember when you get to our age it is much harder to get off and keep off the weight so write, write, write and scare yourself into shape. When you write down what you eat on a daily basis you will see why you just can't lose that weight. it could be a number of reasons maybe poor diet combinations, bad timing when you eat heavy foods like at night.

Hi Guys I'm back I hope all is well today...... here is Recipe Tip #4  Baked fish with bar-b-que sauce, macaroni pie and baked beans.   Baked Fish Season the fish to your liking, place in baking dish The bar-b-que-sauce must be mixed with some water( or beer it you like) to lighten it Pour bbq sauce over the fish and cover dish with foil.

My 6 year old son no matter where I leave him for vacation he calls me at work every 20 mins after  the first 2 hours and wants me to come get him. I think it is called "joined at the hip syndrome" Boy oh boy this is getting to be too much, he needs to be seeing me every 10 minutes..I really have to join him in something during these vacations yes. I am now going to research online for activities for him for the next couple weeks because it is driving me mad, bank loan here i come. Steups man a woman can't save some pennies boy, all these kids does see is $ signs on your head yes....The  6 year old plays football and the 18 year old is the swimmer. I will post some pics again next time... But all in all I love my honeys they are (at the moment...until further notice) the best ever!! My energetic 6 year old Cody My handsome 18 year...

OMG!!! It sure pays to be a Trini. I love Trinidad & Tobago because we have so many holidays (knock on wood) lmao. For those off you who are not aware, this week is Easter and in Trinidad we have from Good Friday and Easter Monday as holidays, so those off us who don't work or don't care to work over the weekend, we will have what we in Trinbago call it a "long weekend" yay! So those off you poor suckers who left Trinidad, like my sisters, to reside abroad for whatever reason, hard luck you are missing out!!! We are going to church on Friday morning, then one off our radio stations 104.7FM is having a sports day on Friday so we are hitting that to boot. Come Saturday we are hitting the beaches all weekend not to mention making some much missed curry duck and buss-up-shot, yum yum yummy!! Oh I forgot we will be hitting a pool party on Saturday (Gloria Saturday) night. Long time no dance the night away......hmmmm

Well guys this is holy week for us Catholics, Easter we call it. Now it does not mean we are or feel we are more holy than the next person. It simply means that this is the week we recognise and focus on events that transpired from the day Jesus had thorns placed on his head to his death on the cross and the day he rose from the dead, all for us.

Well folks as promised here is how I prepare Recipe Tip #3 3. Salt fish mixed with smoked herring, provisions and lentils       Provisions Well you clean or buy already cleaned salt fish and smoked herring, pour boiling water over them and chip them up with your fingers. Cut up some onion, tomatoes and garlic to your liking  Clean provisions (sweet potato, yam, dasheen and cassava) that you like and put to boil, adding salt to your taste. When finish cooking cut up in cube size. Put oil (olive or any vegetable) to hot, again the amount is based on how much you are cooking and how oily you like your food.
