Hey Guys!

 I traded in my specs you'll! I have been wearing glasses for years and I decided that I wanted to try contacts again, but I never made the time to make an appointment! So guess what! I did, and I actually like wearing contacts, but I must say that I have to get use to them.So since I got new eyes I had to get to sunglasses! And I did! I attacked the 4th of july sales like I was a crazy person! I bought 5 pair of sunglasses and all of them were under 4 bucks! Here are a couple that I wore out already! Check out my last post about how to pick your shades HERE
 God Bless!

Planking!!!! Why I am not doing it!





Planking, the very stupid and almost insane thing that I have seen people come up with, and that is why you will never catch Crystal of Church Girl Chic, doing that! I do not even know where it originated from, it is just a trend that everyone seems to want to do. Why will I never do it?

1. It's Dumb!- Laying down on something just so everyone of Facebook and the Net can say you had a good plank, umm OK. NO!

2. My clothes could get dirty- Don't you know when you lay on some random thing your clothes can get dirty...lol, who just wants that? I love my clothes too much!

3. Someone Died!- umm enough said!

4-Where did it come from?- I don't know, but who does? Who just does things when they do not even know where it originated from?

5. I am not a follower- This is just so crazy trend that everyone is catching the bug to and I do not following trends like this. I follow my own.

I am not telling you that planking is wrong, I am just telling you that I will not be doing it. lol, I know some people agree with me, and if you plank, well have fun planking! lol

God Bless!

Challenge Day #1, Week#1: Cleaning my Temple!

OK Guys,
 I'm back! And today is day one of my weight loss journey! I am so excited about doing this because it is allowing me to clean my temple and create a healthy lifestyle that I have been eager to have! I know I said that I wanted to start last Monday but things got a little differed because I wanted to start on a Monday (which is what the plan recommends) and I couldn't get all of my food until last Wednesday. But I am here and ready to start my journey with you all! Like I said in the last post I am doing the Micheal Thurmand's "Six Week Body Makeover", and like I said before, I have tried it and it works!
  This custom body program  is like having a nutritionist and a trainer at home (but without all of the pushing, nagging and stuff! lol, that you have to do on your own!). This program gives you an assessment and by answering the questions truthfully it assesses what type of body that you have and the program has a custom eating plan for you.
  I have an Endo-Meso body type which is a body that has retained lean muscle but has a slow metabolism. With the lean muscle; as I start this program and my metabolism begins to speed up, the muscle tissue that I have already retained under the fat will easily burn the fat! So because of that I have to eat lean proteins (fish, chicken breast, etc) Here is my custom eating plan.

Breakfast
2 0z. protein 1/2 cup of fruit
Mid Morning Snack
2 oz. protein and 1/2 cup of fruit
Lunch
2 oz. protein 1/2 cup of fruit and 1 cup of Veggie
Mid Afternoon Snack
2 oz. protein, 1/2 cup of Carb
Dinner 
2 oz. of protein, 1/2 cup of carb, and 1-2 cups of veggie
PM Snack (optional)
1/2 cup of fruit

Now this is the gist of what my plan looks like but the plan that I am on gets very specific on what kinds of protein, fruits, veggies, and carbs I should eat! That is what I like about this program because the foods that I have to eat are going to be the correct foods to help me lose weight, and fast! Because I will be eating the correct foods to speed up my metabolism!
  The program also gives me an exercise program that I should do. So I have to get started on that today! I am so excited about starting this program! I feel better already! I am going to try to post my before picture and measurements later on today! Pray for me guys! Because I am going in! :)

If you have any questions just leave me a comment, of email me (my email is in the contact info ^ ) I am also going to be posting weight loss tips throughout the time that I am on this program and I am also keeping a weekly journal on the blog! I pray that you all decide what is a good program for you and begin to get healthy with me! you really do not have to start a challenge, just eat right, you know!
Much Love Guys!

Weight Loss Challange! Why don't you join me!

Hello All!
  Over the past couple of years I can honestly say that I have put on a couple of pounds. My weight gain was caused by depression, and a seizure medication. I think I put on almost 100 pounds in about 4 years! I have  tried different kinds of diets, and cleanses, but as soon as I start to lose weight I ween off of the plan (crazy right) I never stick to my plan 100%. I love being a thick girl in this world but my main focus is health! I have to get to a healthy weight in order to be healthy. I have  a history of diabetes on both sides of my family and I never want to get the bad news of me having diabetes ever!
   So what am I saying? I am going to get back on a plan again, but I am going to share my weight loss journey with my blog friends! I am going to start Monday July 13th and give you all the details from there. I wanted to do something that had a time limit on it, so for my short term goal of 25 pounds, I am going to share with you all my progress with Micheal Thurmans, Six Week Body Makeover. I am going to share with you all my plan on Monday.
See you guys tomorrow!

Moving Forward!!!

I have found myself very interested in music the past couple of months. And I found myself listening to Israel Houghton's song, "Moving Forward", This song really got me through a season in my life when it was tough and depressing. I think everyone Christian or not knows what it means to leave a past behind and simply move forward! This song is for everyone that wants to Move Forward, enjoy!

Beauty Tip: How to Remove Glitter Nail Polish

Last year I fell in love with the glitter nail polish until  I had to take it off! Here is a tip on how to easily remove glitter nail polish!


Step 1: Saturate cotton with acetone or polish remover (a remover with acetone works best).
Step 2: Place the cotton on the nail and wrap each finger in aluminum foil. Press down.
Step 3: Leave on for 5 minutes.
Step 4: Pull the foil off and your glitter polish will glide off, too
Glitter Begone! LOL

God bless!
