A few things about Nubia

I am a young, vibrant, African American single mother of two beautiful, bright kids (and i'm not saying that because they are mine). We are from New England and recently moved below the Mason-Dixon Line to VA, in order to escape the beastly Northeast winters. Allow me to give you some insight on this blog and how it came to pass. My personality is upbeat & friendly, a definite extrovert. I am a social butterfly, I enjoy spending time with other people (could be because I am an only child? I doubt it). I actually enjoy spending time with others, entertaining my friends and trying out new places to eat and grabbing a drink. I have a insatiable passion for travel and the expertise of meeting and event planning. After spending much time thinking about my next steps, I decided to get back to blogging and start consulting. Why not do what I love! Right? Well, here I am and I am pleased you are hear reading over my adventures.

30 days...

I mean 29... OK, I'm a little late! So in preparations for my vacation I have decided to do some extensive working out. In the past I have done a 7 day liquid detox, walking, going to the gym periodically and I talked enough about wanting to get "in shape". This time around it's not just talk! I joined the YMCA with the kids and a friend of mine told me about Jillian Michael's "30 day shred video". Over the weekend I took a little trip to Walmart and picked up the video, a workout mat, an exercise ball and two 3 pound dumbbells and headed home.

Let me give you a little background on the video... The 30 day shred basically consist of Cardio, Strength and Ab exercises built into a 20 min workout. There are 3 levels, Level 1 for beginners, Level 2 for intermediate and Level 3 expert. You typically would stay on each Level for 10 days before moving to the next level. It is guaranteed that you can lose up to 10 lbs in the 30days and sculpt and tone your body.

01/31/2011 Day 1 - What can I say??? How about WTF! Goodness! Can I tell you that I damn near fell out and I was only on level 1! Not even funny... I don't plan on taking you through each and every day of my workout but I will come back week to week and update you on my progress. I am a little backwards and forgot to take my measurements before I began but I will get take them this weekend for sure! See ya in a week!
