physical health!

In Belize we seem to have a culture of endulging in some very unhealthy foods.  This is because the healthy food choices are very limited and costly.  how can we change thi culture?  Well we an get in the habit of eating home cooked meals, and by all means, STAY AWAY FROM FRIED FOODS.  It's very unhealthy, packed with calories and unhealthy carbs and it makes you gassy ( for the females)!!!!  Secondly, try to encorporate a little bit of physical activity in your schedule. Even if it is just a 15 minute walk a day, every move counts.  I have found out that simply just standing instead of sitting your body os burning calories.  So turn off your tvs, put away the computers, set down your phones, becuase it's a beautifual day to get active!!  Your never too old to get outside and get into play :).  It will increase your energy levels, keep you looking young and help you shed those few ext5ra pounds you might complain about.

As for me, i'm changing the tempo.  I made a pledge to lose ten pounds in the next 6 weeks at 1-2 pounds a week.  I framed it and pu it over the mirror to remind me each and every day to stay active and eat healthy.  What's your view?  How do you plan to acheive fitness?

All the flowers bloom in May,

Mr. & Mrs. SJC!!

Okay guys, i know this post is way behind but i beleive it is still worth mentioning.  Some time ago, we held our annual Mr. & Mrs. SJC pageant.  The preparation that went into this show was evident on the night of delivery. The show was truly spectacular and it was a night to remember.  The performances were well executed, the decorations were on point and the crowd erupted in cheering eerytime one of the gorgeous contestants graced the stage. 

However, as with every competition, someone had to come out on top, in this case, two people.  Two you might ask, but there is always only one top spot in every competition? In this case we had a Queen and a King.  Our reigning king is Mr. Raheem Martinez and our reigning queen is Ms. Chloe Daly.  They were truly extraordinary.

Thanks for making the show a complete success! :)

Failed Friendships

Do you know what it feels like to be left behind?
Losing everyone around you in such little time.

I try not to worry since they're left in the past
but it's hard going through life knowing nothing ever lasts.

It's hard to hide behind this frown,
When on the inside you're on the verge of a breakdown.

I've lost everyone that meant the world to me.
All I have left of them are these memories.

You have no idea how badly I want them back.
But they've left me in the past which was their plan of attack.

The pain of losing them will never go away.
I'm tired of feeling like this everyday.

I feel like I no longer belong.
I fake my happiness to show nothing's wrong.

This poem is about losing friends that you've known for a long time and if you're like me it's hard to just let go.  Friends, if true, should fight for you!.. Am i worth enough to you for you to fight for me??

 

//*\\Fire//*\\

For the past year or so, i have been performing below standard.  I have not been motivated to do my best.  I have lost my fire for life, my desire to be the best, my drive for excellence. It has been peeling back my layers, breaking me down just a lil more each day.  Until now i feel like i've gotten to that point. The point where life ceases to make sense, my last layer, the only fabric left of my life.  Its like someone is striking a match in my heart, with every failed attempt the confines of my heart grows warmer, just waiting for something to tip the balance and spark the flame.  Then it will blaze hotter, brighter and more deadly than it ever have before.  my passion will grow. My drive for excellence will be unstoppable.  everytime i step onto the court i will lay my heart and soul down. I will play like the my life depended on it, like i's the last time i will be on that court.  I shall be a force to reckon with, no I AM A FORCE TO RECKON WITH, and i will always be.....when you hit bottom there's only one way to go, and that's up.  I saw God's hand reach out to me, stretching, reaching, trying to hold my hand, o pull me back to the top where i rightfully belong, but i was stuborn, i didn't want to listen, but now i'm reaching out to HIM......Any success without him, is complete and utter failure, unsatisfying.  My fire shall burn again....I will be who i was always meant to be, all that i can be....

Have your fire ever dwindled?
Have you ever felt like you just don't have the will to go on?

beauty

I'm sure at some point or another all of us has had some confrontation with this word...either you are bullied, teased, taunted or rejected because you do not meet the standards of conventional beauty.  Then on the other hand there are those that, think them self the very meaning of the word.  They take it over board.  What many of you on the other side might not know is that many of these people that put off this confident sometimes conceited nature and constantly belittle each other, have a lot of skeletons in the closet.  They are very insecure and when they find themself in only the company of their thoughts, those confident feelings quickly fade and a self-concious, scared little girl that will go to any extreme to be considered conventianally beautiful surfaces.  This is dangerous because these are the same little girls that develop eating disorders and commit suicide because they are in pursuit of perfection, something that is considered to be very subjective, thus very unatainable in this aspect. 

What is beauty?
 To me i believe beauty starts in the heart, the soul and the mind.  You have to be beautiful on the inside in order for it to be projected on the outside.  Being angry, ignorant and insecure only wares on your outward beauty. Before you adorn your outside man make sure your heart is clean, make sure it is in the right place.

How about you....how do you feel about beauty? what does it mean to you? what do you consider beautiful?
