Hey you guys,

I had my first work out of the year yesterday and it was really fun! I am starting to lift heavy for back days now but because I worked out for 2 hours my whole body hurts today, I couldn't give it my all this morning. My sleeping schedule is all messed up because I had a lot of days off recently and I was going to bed late so now going to sleep at 8:30 pm or 7:45 pm feels like a crime! which is funny because normally I am fast asleep by those times.

I will start fixing my sleep schedule starting today because I need my 8-9 hours of sleep to feel refresh and to have a great work out, Yesterday I trained my back, my shoulders, biceps and I even did abs plus 30 minutes on the Stairmaster so today I couldn't give 100%. Normally Thursdays are my laid back days literally because I train my back lol which is my favorite! I am seeing some back muscles! they're beautiful and sexy! my man is going to gag when I finally get a man ugh maybe this year who knows? anyway so now I am in recovery mode because I have a brutal leg day coming up on Saturday morning at 7am!

Fitness goal for 2026

Run 2 times a week: invest in a good pair of running shoes
Join a run club
Run a 4k and eventually maybe not in 2026 but the goal is to train to run in a marathon (at least try)
Achieve 5 pull ups with perfect form by the end of 2026
Continue lifting heavy by the end of 2026 I want to be able to hip thrust 240lbs
This is non related but I don’t have to list working out weekly because I’m already obsessed but today I feel sad not because I am failing, quite the contrary I have achieved so much in my fitness journey but I want to establish that same stability in other areas of my life. I am way too obsessed with exercising I need to have some non fitness goals to fulfill my life. ( I will keep going in my fitness journey)
Bonus join a book club. There’s a book club in my local library but it’s a bunch of old ladies and they meet randomly like they would meet on a random Tuesday at 1 pm like dude I’m at work ugh. There’s girls at my job were trying to do a book club but we failed and I didn’t even read the book yet, I think it’s a murder mystery? I don’t really like those books but they can be interesting with a little romance added to it.

Dude I should have been taking creatine a long time ago! the glute growth is crazy ! it might just be because I'm eating close too 200grams of protein at least 5 days of the week but honestly I will have to buy new pants soon! the waist is fine, it's the booty and the thighs lol I'd rather have this problem more than anything else! imagine having issues because you can't fit your butt in a dress that use to fit you last month! everything else is fine but when it gets around your butt and thighs the dress won't budge!

Rating forms of cardio’s

Elliptical: 3/10 I hate it, I think itpointless
Treadmill: 5/10 simply boring. I need to be reading in order to get through it
Treadmill on incline level 9: that I rate an 8/10 it’s so much better, way more challenging and I am less bored
Rowing: 9/10 at first I hated it but I love it now, it’s challenging if you’re doing it right. Your whole body is working to keep you upright
Stationary bike: 2/10 I think it’s soooo boring and you’ll probably never see me on this machine
Stair master: it’s the devil ! And I rate it a 10/10 it’s my favorite form of cardio. I usually hate myself and want to die by the time I’m done which is why I love it! Yes I love pain especially if it’s guaranteed me a hot body.

As I am older now, although I don’t look it but my mind has definitely changed and developed. I used to live in a fantasy world where everything was supposed to be beautiful. But life itself is not always beautiful, there’s an ugliness part of life that I was never willing to accept. I had to put down my rose colored glasses and see life for what it is. I had to accept things for what it is instead of what I want it to be. I had to take people’s actions instead of what they tell me.

I am not the same, I no longer seek love in places where it was never given to me. I begin to accept that some people will do what’s best for them and I need to do the same for me. I stopped caring about how others perceived me and started living, in return I became even more confident and it’s not an act. I genuinely do not care what was said about me, how people see me. I am just trying my best to survive. Today is my turn and tomorrow will be someone else’s turn. Instead of asking why is this happening to me begin to ask what is this trying to teach me?. Instead of asking why is life so unfair? I begin asking what decisions have I made to end up here.

I stopped being delusional, I stopped day dreaming about men who will never care about me; that man never cared and will en we care. I stopped waiting and started living. If I feel disrespected I simply leave I don’t demand respect anymore, they know what they did. I have nothing to say to someone who’s not willing to change. I don’t repeat myself more than twice, I tell you what I don’t accept and if you continue to do it, I’ll simply leave. I don’t beg, I just leave. I am older now, I am a woman. I am grown and I am embracing every part of it. I have not time to play, are we doing something serious? No then leave me alone.

Places in the world I’ll never visit even if it’s free

Dubai: it’s a weird place, too many rules. It is not a safe place for women or let along black women. I’m afraid if I sneeze in public I might get arrested
Afghanistan: it’s not safe and not a safe place for women either
Pakistan: it’s a no for me dwag
Iraq ( actually a lot of countries in the middle eastern is a no for me)
South Korea ( too much racism)

That’s all I can think of now but there’s more

Not easily broken

It’s a movie on Netflix and this is a great movie! I learned a lot from this movie. One thing to never do is let another person inside your marriage, this union is sacred don’t let friends or family come in between you in your spouse. I’ve never had a boyfriend, I don’t think I’ve been in love but I’ve been in lust or maybe something close to love.

Now back to the movie let’s not discuss my dying love life, when I first watched the movie all I saw was 2 married people living completely separate life. It’s so easy to get carried away with your career, your hobbies, your friends and neglect the person you love. But I’m about to tell you a few things to keep your relationship strong.

Always spend time with your significant other, learn how to take care of them. Everyone has different needs but find out what they crave and always make sure you provide what they need. It can be the little things like putting gas in their car, cooking, cleaning, flowers, a simple gift that shows that you were thinking about them.
As black women we don’t always have to be strong, independent and boss babes all the time . Let yourself be soft, feminine, learn how to care of your man and I don’t always mean sex. Cook meals that he loves, wear that dress that he likes, hug him after a long day instead of nagging him, ask him what he needs, give him space if that’s what he wants, be there silently trust me your presence will be enough you don’t have to pressure him to speak, let him come to you when he’s ready to talk. Don’t just assume things, let him speak. It’s easy for us women to talk and be emotional, men are more quiet. Create a safe space for him and learn how to listen! Be quiet for a minute let your man talk, let him tell you what’s wrong, don’t just assume everything.
Learn how to love your partner. Some people love physical touch, some people love when you do things for them, others love when you spend time with them and some love gifts. Find out how your partner receives love don’t just assume he receives love the way you receive it. Learn their love language, pay attention to what they respond to. Find out what they like and support it as much as you can.
When you find your person, be honest with them. Don’t cheat on them. Don’t let someone else come in between you two.

No I’m not distant or cold, I’m aware of the patterns. We talk less and less until I reach out first after 5 days and we both forget to reach out so then I take a step back without a fuss. I don’t ask why you’re distant, I just simply stop reaching out until we both become strangers again. I don’t cut people off out of spite, it was a long time coming.

I was already alone long before I left. The unanswered text, the phone calls I waited for that never came. No I didn’t become distant and cold because I stopped caring, I started caring for myself that’s not cold that’s clarity. I’d rather an empty funeral than one filled with people crying crocodile tears and waiting to eat at the reception. The most dangerous thing isn’t isolation. It’s convincing yourself crumbs are a meal just because you’re hungry for connection. It’s not about hating people, it’s about protecting the small part of yourself that’s still capable of trust. By refusing to spend it where it won’t be honored. My idea of peace is moving to a new city and not telling anyone until I’m already gone.

natural hair love?

Publié par Gaelle.R 25 Décembre 2025 à 02:53 PM

For the past week I have been wanting to get braids with added hair, you all know how I feel with hair that's not mine. I love my afro but it is demanding! you want to know what I do every week ? not that you asked but I will tell you anyway:

I wash my hair every sundays and before I wash it I detangle my hair for 15-30 minutes with hot oil treatment (it takes longer to detangle if my hair was in a tight hairstyle and my curls are tangled so I have to take my time to detangle every strand) I spray water and drench my hair from root to tip with the oil. Then after I detangle my whole head and twist each section I put a shower cap on it and leave it to marinate in there for about 2 hours.
then after 2 hours I step in the shower wash my hair with shampoo then I step out of the shower to detangle my hair once more with deep conditioner but that process is quick because I have already detangle my hair prior to washing it so there's not much work to be done it's more so applying the conditioner and running a comb through my hair just so I can distribute the product better. Then I slap a shower cap on it for another 2 hours.
after the additional 2 hours I rinse, then I sit in front of a mirror while my hair is drenched in water, I bring my leave in conditioner, oil and curling cream. I part my hair and twist each section doing the LOC method with is leave in conditioner, oil and cream. The process of twisting my hair takes 1hr.30 minutes.
then every 2 days I am supposed to oil my scalp before bed.

I do this every week.. yes it is time consuming but I love my hair and I wouldn't change any of it. But for the past week I have been craving a break, I don't even like fake hair anymore but I wanted to do it to change my look. I am not sure how I will feel by next week but wether or not I do it, I still love my afro the most.

I am trying to sneak in one more book before the end of the year, I started it this morning while on the treadmill and the Stairmaster... the main character is death! well I didn't know that the lady they mentioned in the book was death itself! probably not a good time to be reading about that considering I am lonely right now; one quote from the book was " if you want to get death's attention you need to just die" lol okay... I smiled when I read that because I often wondered about when I will die but not right now. I want to live and become a mother first :) that will be my greatest joy... I can't wait to be a mom.
