♪♪♪Allow me to reintroduce myself♪♪♪ Every time I hear that line I think of Jay Z's lyrics....My name is HOV! 😂 Excuse the little humor here. Okay let's get serious...my name is actually Michaela and I'm coming to you straight from the "B" borough...that would be THE BRONX baby!
I am a 54 year old woman who has a younger inner self. It's kind of hard for me to believe that I'm actually in my 50s...I mean, just the other day I was a 16 year old kid. But I guess my kids and grandkids keep me grounded in reality that says, "YES CHILD, you are most definitely 54!" Well that, coupled with the gray hairs that have minds of their own that pop up everydangwhere, the little aches and pains that come and go from doing absolutely nothing and the cravings for salty and sweet things causing an amazing weight gain over the last 4 years. 😏 Hence the reason I have decided to start this blog.
I want to document the journey of my second half of life. There are some things that I want to work on to ensure that I'm living the best life I possibly can. I mean I used to be athletic... a tomboy really (until I discovered boys that is) but I've let that go. I want to get my athleticism back and damn it I want to get my current body as close to my old body as possible. So, as I always say...it's never too late until IT'S TOO LATE!
I'd like to take you all along on my journey so you can watch me transform into a dynamic well seasoned woman!
Until the next time...do something that puts a special smile on your face!

Play Time is Over
Hey you guys! I've been back at the job for a week now and got through it without any major stress! Thank the good heavenly Father for that one! So what's been up this week? Well....as I said I was back in the office for 4 days. I hit 2 of our buildings and did some recertification packages for some tenants. It was great being back with my coworkers/friends. They are what make the job pleasant and they feel the same way I do. We have each others' backs.
Just as soon as the week started Thursday was upon us and I was rushing to get out of the office early to make sure I got to my oldest daughter's birthday celebration! WOOOT WOOOT! I haven't been out dancing for over a year I'd say. Although my boyfriend and I were late we made it to Salsa Con Fuego in the Bronx and had a great time! Biz Markie was spinning for a while as he was also celebrating his birthday. My ankle was doing well enough for me to actually get up and dance some. We had some tasty food. I had the seafood paella and quite a few Henny Punches!!!! I felt no pain that night. Friday rolls around and it's time for a follow up visit to the podiatrist. I let them know that the brace that I wore (sometimes for the past 2 weeks) coupled with the anti-inflammatory pills (I took some time) worked miracles. My ankle had not swelled...the pain in my ankle was just about gone. I am a happy camper.
What else happened this week? Ahhh yes...I purchased a Bella Air fryer! What a great investment. We have tried chicken thighs, chicken patties, pork loin chops and they came out crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. The air fryer was an unexpected purchase I made at the suggestion of my coworker/friend, Naomi. I mean I couldn't pass it up. Macy's was selling them for $39.99 which was half of what she paid for hers. Thank you girl!
Saturday has rolled around and it was a lazy sort of day. I didn't do much of anything but my knees hurt a bit. The after effects of dancing. It ain't easy being in your 50s and overweight. Ahhh but that's going to change because now I can start buckling down on my health and fitness. I'll be back to document what I'm doing...what my starting weight and measurements are.
Wish me luck guys or should I say send blessings and prayers my way because I certainly can use them!
Remember to do something that puts a special smile on your face! Til the next time....
