So I’ve been in this constant battle with my weight since I can remember. I have moments when I’m small then moments I get tubby again… And guess what I’m looking quite tubby. The winter months don’t help much as all I want to do is eat comfort food and lay in my warm bed all day. Getting to the gym has been a struggle since the weather dropped below 40°. In case your wondering why its so hard, well I don’t have a car in the city and its a 15 min walk. So, waking up at 6:30 am to walk to the gym in cold weather is just not happening! Ho-hum.. 🙁

So i’ve had enough of the excuses I make, and I am ready for change! In lieu of this I decided to set a goal that I could realistically achieve.  I’ve had my share of fad diets and get slim quick programs and I know I want no part of that. I want a lifestyle change.

30 lbs in 30 weeks. 1 pound a week. Now that’s realistic to me! This blog post is my commitment that I will stick to my plan and reach my goal. I am determined to stick to this. To those of you who feel a little like I do I encourage you to join me.

So I start today. New Balances on, iPod in hand..I’m pumped! 🙂

Wish me luck!

P.S… Thanks Mack for the encouraging text this morning! I <3 U!

Last night I ate at Café Habana on Prince and Elizabeth street. It was a mellow evening and the food did NOT disappoint. Everything I tasted was delish!
I ordered a frozen mojito, shared an order of grilled corn mexican style, pollo mirador and of course a side of tostones.  My mouth is watering just thinking about it! It was a perfect unexpected meal! — Thanks Treas!

I defiantly recommend you checking it out !! The location is cozy, music is keeps you bopping, and food speaks for itself. 🙂

Next time I  plan to go to their second location “Havana Outpost” in Brooklyn. I promise to snap some pics!

I stole this shot  from their blog 🙂

And the price was OH-so right! 🙂

I love Friday’s because a friend is always coming into town!  –Perks of living in a City everyone visits. 🙂

Today Mackenzie and Tina are coming!

Woooh-hooo!

Shout out to Mack!! 🙂

Shout out to Tina!!

Again.. Happy Friday!

Not so pretty, huh! — This is the YANG!!

And yes we have to walk through this..

I feel for everyone who has to wake up to do this!

The sky was beautiful though 🙂

Just ick!

Happy Friday!

So by no means am I a real “northerner”. I am a Florida girl who happens to live in the city  .hehe.  So we have been on “blizzard” alert all day. I was actually a little excited as I have never experienced one before, though compared to all the snow that D.C got the past weekend I have to say I feel jipped! –lol. Nevertheless, I did enjoy my work from home snow day. I was quite productive and got alot of things done. I even tackled some of my taxes paperwork 🙂

These pictures were mostly taken for Mrs. Boots. Enjoy love! 🙂

I took these from my fire escape. Yes, I climbed out of my window in the middle of the storm. 😉 This is my view from the right… That’s St. Nicholas Park straight ahead..

This was my view straight forward. The white trees were breathtaking! 🙂

And looking down to the left I caught a good Samaritan cleaning up the sidewalks. Thanks sir!

Snow and all Fido needs to be walked 😉

Love this one 🙂

And my view to the complete left… On a clear day you can see part of the NYC skyline.. not today..lol

And my fave… 🙂

So i’ve mentioned before my “ying/yang” love for the snow…

Today I blogged the “YING”.. Stay tuned for a post about the “YANG”

For all you Northerners be safe out there!! Bundle up! xoxo!
