Slowly dying.
I don’t mean to be a Debbie downer but a lot of the products that we are using on a day to day basis are actually bad for us!
Today I re-downloaded this app call “Yuka” and it’s free on the App Store and I remember I had the app a while ago but I just never really used it, the way this app works is really easy you just have to scan the bar code of the product in your hand and it will tell you all the ingredients found in the product. The results may shock you, the ingredients list is very detailed. It will tell you which ingredient is good and which one is actually bad for you. Today I scan a lotion that I use from time to time to only find out that this lotion contains BHT which affects women’s reproductive system and fertility I was like wait what! You mean to tell me that this little lotion that I use on my hands once in a while is bad for me! I was appalled so I kept scanning all the products in my house and I was even more shocked!
There’s this leave in conditioner that I’ve been using called rhyme and reason, I thought it was alright but for some reason I was experiencing some shedding and when I looked in the ingredient list I found that it contains a lot of proteins in it, which is good but not for daily use or repeated use! That’s how you get protein overload so I realized my hair was shedding because there’s too much protein in it! And it’s been a little dry not like back when I was using mielle but dry enough that I noticed. We have to be careful about the quality of the products we are buying, I know in this economy we can’t really always afford to be picky but at least we have to be safe!
Anyway as my reader please download the yuka app and scan the products in your house as well as the products you are buying to see if they are right for you. This app will also give you alternative products that are much better :)

I think the most challenging thing in gaining muscle is not the working out part it's the eating part! If you are working out daily and lifting weights but you're not eating enough protein you will not gain muscle at all! you have to eat 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight. If you want to lose weight and gain muscle, you have to eat a lot of protein and less carbs! you have to be on a caloric deficit to lose weight. An example of a meal
Here's a sample meal plan that provides approximately 168 grams of protein:
Breakfast (42 grams protein) • 2 large eggs (14g) • 1 cup Greek yogurt (20g) • 1 cup mixed berries • 1/2 cup high-fiber cereal
Mid-Morning Snack (15 grams protein) • 1 scoop whey protein powder (15g) • 8 oz water
Lunch (45 grams protein) • 4 oz grilled chicken breast (30g) • 1 cup cooked quinoa • 1 cup steamed broccoli Mid-Afternoon Snack (15 grams protein) • 1 cup cottage cheese (28g) • 1/2 cup sliced peaches
Dinner (51 grams protein) • 6 oz grilled salmon (42g) • 1 cup cooked brown rice • 1 cup sautéed spinach Total Protein: 168g
Tips and Variations:
• Adjust portion sizes based on individual needs. • Swap protein sources (e.g., turkey, tofu, beans). • Include protein-rich snacks like nuts, seeds, or jerky. • Consider adding protein supplements (e.g., protein shakes). • Balance protein with complex carbohydrates and healthy fats. Some other protein-rich foods you could incorporate: • Lean meats (beef, pork, turkey) • Fish and seafood (shrimp, tuna, tilapia) • Eggs and dairy (milk, cheese) • Legumes (lentils, chickpeas, black beans) • Nuts and seeds (almonds, chia seeds, hemp seeds) • Whole grains (quinoa, farro, bulgur) Consult a registered dietitian or healthcare professional for personalized nutrition advice.

What does dating you looks like?
It’s fun but it’s very intense so be ready for a lot of deep conversations. I will get all the surface level things out the way when we first started talking, I will learn everything there is to know about you! I am very ocd when it comes to details and routines! So I will pay attention to everything and I will make sure that I stay consistent in everything. I am very nurturing I will always make sure you have what you need, whether it is food, attention or affection.
The communication will not decrease as we get to know each other a little more, unless you need space then I will back off. I will also back off because absence makes the heart grow fonder, I will make sure that you miss me first ! Even if I will also miss you a lot but we will need space to think about each other.
I will also back off if I need space but if I like you a lot I will tell you why I need space and when we can start talking again if it’s possible ( I hate wasting people’s time)
I will need space when: I’m mad, going through something traumatic, tired or really sad. I will only ask for space because I don’t want to hurt you or because I won’t be a great companion at that moment but once I sort it out which could be in a few days we will get back to being super close, if that bothers you don’t worry I am willing to compromise.
Fun fact I love touching the person I love, if you don’t like me touching you a lot I will learn not to because when something looks good to me I have to touch it lol. And I will know what you don’t like already when I first started to get to know you so this won’t be issue I will know the exact time to touch or not to touch you. I am not annoying about it don’t worry, I don’t know if I like public display of affection yet! But if you hold my hand I won’t mind. I won’t touch you if you’re hungry, annoyed I will only do it when you give me that look and the ____ coming off (it’s a Nicki Minaj song lol!) we will be able to talk about anything! I don’t judge ! We can talk about finances, food or anything you want.
There will be a lot of cooking dates, movie dates, watching football dates don’t worry I will make it fun for you. Play dates with my cats but only when I trust you because I don’t bring just anyone around my cats, I need to see if we are compatible in that aspect.
A lot of dates by the beach, or in the park. Going to concerts, going to football games, traveling together as a friend group of course. It will be fun! But at times I will get sad but don’t worry I will tell you everything and you won’t be left in the dark I will give you the opportunity to cheer me up.
A lot of gym dates where we go work out together we don’t have to be together the whole time but knowing that you are working out is amazing!. It shows me that you want to look good for me just as much I want to look good for you ;)
We will do everything together ! We will be best friends as well as lovers because I think friendship is the strongest bond there is when in an intimate relationship.
Oh and don’t forget nap dates! Not on the bed tho lol unless we’re married
We will pray together, do family worship weekly, prepare meetings as much as we can we don’t have to do it all the time I just need to know that you prepare the meeting and anytime you want to do it with me I am more than ready. Hopefully it’s vice Versa.
There will be a lot of jokes! A lot of hugs ! A lot of laughter! I am a big kid and you will notice that in the relationship and you will be surprised of how full of life I am because at first I look sad and shy! but really I am sad that I am alone so finding you will save me!
To my future lover and best friend ;) get ready for a wild ride! I mean it !

Break a sweat.
My favorite day of the gym is Saturday because there’s not many people there so I really over do it ! and on sundays I always have a hard time walking, which is what I like lol ! If I don’t have a hard time walking after a gym day I am pissed!
Today is Saturday so you know I am extra happy! I worked out for 2 hours and right after I had a smoothie it had : strawberry, spinach, milk, peanut butter, banana and oats basically a protein shake! I feel so good right now.
What I did : ran for 5 minutes straight when I first got there to stretch and to get the adrenaline going, then I went to do strength training : deadlift, squats, hip thrust all on the smith machine I lifted heavy today…. I did some ab work outs, cable workouts, step ups and 20 minutes on the stair master … I increase the weights as I kept doing more reps.
I love mondays because I also go crazy! I mostly do isolation workouts I do back work outs too, Bulgarian squats, sumo squats with dumbbells and kettlebells, cable workouts ( ab work outs) and now step ups… I usually feel a little sore ( I do other things but I can’t remember their names right now lol)
I love it. I feel great .
