In my last blog I talked about how I joined a weight loss challenge at work. In a month-and-a-half I have lost 11 pounds. Since I’ve been at my job, though, I have lost a total of 21 pounds! I’m still not where I want to be but I’m VERY PROUD of my progress. I have decided that in a few years I want to try out for a competition, preferably in bodybuilding. It’s going to take some years … Read more →

Ok ladies. A lot of you can relate to wanting to lose weight, especially with summer right around the corner. Bikinis and high heels lol. I know we all have our ups and downs when it comes to getting that beach body. I recently joined a weight loss challenge at work and so far it’s really helping. I already lost 4 pounds and I’m 12 pounds away from my ideal weight. But it’s a constant struggle when my motivation level is … Read more →

“Communication Is The Key” (Crystal M's Blog)

How many times have you wanted to give up or give in because it’s just too much? How many times have you just broken down and cried? Have you ever felt lost and didn’t know where to turn to? Well the answer for me is plenty of times, all because I held a lot of stuff inside and couldn’t let it out. I’ve been going through a lot lately. I’ve been angry at myself and others. Mainly myself, though. In my … Read more →

What do you do when everything around just seems to fall apart? Do you fall to your knees and pray…or do you just walk away? I’ve had so many things get tossed my way in life, but I have never had to deal with losing a part of myself. I’ve always been the one to go with the flow and live for the moment. Now, however, I find myself reevaluating my whole life and what it is that I want. For … Read more →

As woman we tend to think either two ways, logical or emotional. And too often we tend to think more emotional then logical. For the simple fact that we’re woman, we let most things get the best of us before we actually think about them logically. Here’s a scenario. We’re out walking and we see our better half at a restaurant eating with an attractive woman. Our first reaction is to storm into the restaurant and make a scene because we … Read more →

My last blog was a very interesting one so I thought I’d keep it going, but with one about beauty. Whales are always surrounded by friends such as dolphins, seals and even curious humans. They are sexually active and raise their children with great tenderness. They entertain like crazy with dolphins and eat lots of prawns. They swim all day and travel to fantastic places like Patagonia, the Barents Sea or the coral reefs of Polynesia. They sing incredibly well and … Read more →

I want to share something with you before I talk about my topic. I got this from a friend’s page: “A worried woman went to her gynecologist and said: ‘Doctor, I have a serious problem and desperately need your help! My baby is not even 1-year-old and I’m pregnant again. I don’t want kids so close together. So the doctor said: ‘OK and what do you want me to do?’ She said: ‘I want you to end my pregnancy, and I’m … Read more →

It has been a good while since my last blog. In my last blog I wrote about living with my sister. During that time that I lived with my family, I was able to get closer to my twin sister and her daughter. My niece was familiar with me but really didn’t have a bond with me. But now she loves me dearly, as I love her with all of my heart. She calls me “Nanie” every time she sees me. … Read more →

“Tick Tick Tick, BOOOOMMMM!” (Crystal M's Blog)

Ok, I’m going to touch on two subjects in this blog. As you may all know from my previous blogs, I’m living with my siblings and their baby daddies. Well in my last blog I was talking about how I was a walking time bomb waiting to explode. Well, ladies, the bomb went off and all hell broke loose. When you live with your family there is going to be certain ways someone handles things with their kids. Most of you … Read more →

Ok, so in my last blog I talked about moving back home and staying with my family again after six years on my own. Things have not gotten better. In fact, they’ve gotten worse. The first issue is the fact that I now find myself having to depend on my sisters for a ride to work when the bus line stops running. I hate depending on anyone but since I have yet to get my driver’s license, I don’t have a … Read more →
