Empowering Women to Take Control: A Journey to Fulfillment

I use to add sugar to my Spaghetti and drown it with that dominos sugar lol 😂 all because I didn’t know any better. I was addicted to sugar and not even realize the effect it was having on my body which was so unhealthy, as time went on and I started to educate myself, I wanted better not just for me but for my children, I changed.  This meal is one of my family’s favorites, our Veggie Spaghetti includes  1Box of Barilla Spaghetti Noodles (Whole Grain) 3 Tomated crushed (chopped Finely) and sautéed  2 Cans of Tomato 🍅 paste (No Salt Added)  1/2 cup of water 💦  2 bell peppers  2 cups of Mushrooms  1 Red onion  Seasonings: Black pepper- Garlic & Herb Seasonings  Directions: Boil noodles for 10 minutes, drain add seasonings of choice, in sauce pan add tomato paste and finely chopped tomato’s, water 💧 simmer on stove for 10 minutes, on cutting board chop veggies, add tomato sauce and veggies to noodles, mix together and delicious 😋  Now if you just can’t be without sugar in your S

You know I was looking at my son and seeing him run and play without any of his skin problems he use to face and it was just amazing 😉  About 3 years ago DJ was diagnosed with having extreme eczema and it was brutally bad for him, he would scratch his skin all the time, especially his neck and for arms, it was to the point that I would just help him scratch because that’s just how bad and irritable he was. he would cry his self to sleep at times just scratching 🥺 Seeing him suffer like that wasn’t easy for me nor his dad, it would hurt my heart ❤️ so bad that I would just pray 🙏and cry 😢 for my baby because I just couldn’t understand how and why he had it. So of course we took him to his pediatrician and she recommended a topical medication for him!  When I picked it up from the pharmacy I was absolutely floored at the information and ingredients which one of the ingredients was a form of steroid😲 I told my husband we are not putting that on my baby, for me that was the last straw

Sunday meal Prep is one & done ✅ I could have just relaxed for the remainder of the day and have came up with so many excuses on why I just don’t feel like it, or I just don’t have time, or better yet I will Prep tomorrow but guess what when tomorrow comes, so does  the next set of excuses!  I want more for myself, I have set my goals and it doesn’t involve eating on a whim, or just putting crap in my body all because I just don’t feel like it. There will be days when I don’t feel like it and those day are when it truly matter most.  It is imperative that I stay the course, keep my focus and understand that distractions will always be in my most, heck life is a distraction but I’m come to realize that if it has nothing to do with goals, I must keep my focus!  Weightloss is definitely mental first and then once that’s under wraps the body will follow in such a awesome way!  Who’s Prep their meals for the week?  #Mealprep #DinnerandLunch #OneandDone #DivaDashFitness #mindseti

Man as I have gone through my journey, sometimes you just have to take a look 👀 back as to how far you have come!! My days was hard, my nights were dreadful but as I continued to stay consistent and continued to think about my Goals and what I truly wanted for myself it became habit!  It has been my life! For me it was more about why??? I would always ask myself Why?? Why can’t I just lose this weight? Why can’t I just eat what I want and not gain weight? Why does my Stomach have to be so Fat? Why did I weight so much? Why can’t I just make it disappear??  I had so many Why questions that I was tired of asking myself Why?? I knew that I needed to do something and I wanted to change but how was I going to do this? I thought that my problem was my stomach area. I figured that if I did crunches my stomach would go down.  What I had to understand was this situation with my weight and stomach was all depending on what I was eating every single day of my life, but it was hard for me to conn
