I’m watching the Mexican series “Lo que la vida me robó” y’all know how I like my novelas ! lol anyway I started watching this the last time I visited Haiti in 2015 and I used to stay up to watch it. Now I’m watching it in French.

Honestly here’s my honest opinion. The main characters are Monserrat Mendoza , Jose Luis Alvarez, Alejandro Almonte and yes it is a love triangle. Monserrat is in love with Jose Luis who’s in the army. Jose Luis doesn’t have any money, Monserrat is from a rich family but they are facing financial ruins; they practically have nothing but they live in a mansion because they used to be rich. Monserrat is very beautiful she’s the same actress who played Teresa so you know I’m already in love!

Alejandro inherited all of his father money making him a millionaire but he didn’t grow up in luxury. He used to work as a foreman for his father and he didn’t know the man was his dad until he was dying. Alejandro is soooo hot he also played the professor Teresa was in love with ( also they’re married in real life! Couple goals! Their chemistry is sooo beautiful on screen) anyway back to the story. I never liked Jose Luis for Monserrat but I recognize the love they shared, it was her first love and it was very deep. But Jose Luis always find an excuse to not talk to Monserrat’s father because he’s supposed to ask for her hand in marriage. He keeps making promises but he never comes through, he has no money so he can’t take care of her. Money is not everything but in his case he has none, he can’t sustain Monserrat.

Alejandro is very intentional and I love him for Monserrat. Right off the bat he spoke to Monserrat’s father about courting her, he made sure Monserrat has everything she needs, he sent her flowers. He’s loyal to her, he respects her and he understands her. Monserrat wasn’t in love with him in the beginning and he knew that so he never pressured her ( I’m still watching the beginning of their story I know it will get ugly but either way I love Alejandro for Monserrat)

Jose Luis is framed for a murder so there’s no way Monserrat’s family will let him marry her. He’s dedicated to her, but he was never frank with her. He was always afraid to lose her so he wasn’t completely honest about everything and that pushed them apart. He loves her a lot! He’s obsessed with her but his love for her is ruining him. If he wasn’t in love with her, he would be fine because her family wouldn’t have framed him for murder. He should’ve stayed away from her, some love are forbidden and this one is. But you know what? Let me not put my 2 cents in because I know a lot about forbidden love.

Honestly home cooked meals are healthier to me and it is the best thing, eating out is becoming less and less appealing to me. I plan out all my meals for the entire week and I feel like if I don’t eat the meals that I cooked I am not getting the nutrients that I need. When I picked my meals I know how much macros are in them meaning I know how many calories, protein and carbs I am consuming whereas when I eat takeouts I have no idea what they put in those meals.

I know how much salt I use and which meat I picked meaning I pick lean mean and organic products. Food from the outside are high in calories, high in fat and low on protein basically they’re low quality meals. If the takeout is high in protein just know it’s also high in fat and carbs so is it worth it? Not to me. You can eat out from time to time and I do but eating out daily or more than 3 times a week is too much. For me 2 times is enough anything more than that is too much. I normally cook for the whole week and package my meals in bowls I just heat them up and eat. When I eat my food I don’t get hungry quickly, I feel full and not nauseous. I have a very sensitive stomach anything can upset it, which is why I lean towards a healthy diet. I can’t eat mc Donald’s or Burger King when I do my belly swell up and I feel sooo nauseous so I stay away from those meals ( one of my goals this year is to not set foot or go to any drive thru of those facilities picking out food for myself, if you see me there just know it’s not for me lol)

If you see me have a booty just know takeouts didn’t give it to me, the food that I cooked did. Lifting weights alone cannot give you a big butt, that’s actually the easy part! Eating high protein meals is the most important thing! My goal is to slim my waist and grow my glutes and I can’t do that if I’m always eating out. I have to cook healthy meals that are non inflammatory, high in protein, eat my carbs and meat my protein goal daily which is at least 172 grams. I always try to eat veggies daily, drink natural juice in the morning and drink 2 litters of water daily; I don’t drink juice that are not natural ( I don’t buy them if I’m out I may have a little soda or some juice but that’s once in a blue moon but not in my house)

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.
