News!!

so a quick update on why i am MIA, well I am 14weeks pregnant!!!!!!! So my workouts have come to a standstill. instead my focus will be on healthy eating and my hair regimen. i absolutely need to hit my new goal bra strap length. i know i said arm pit lenth, but i feel by the end of next year i should be able to reach bra strap without any problems. i am going to use my new regimen and sset of new products that i am planning to buy. i will keep u posted on my new eating habbits and my new hair goal.

My Third pledge!!

yea I know another pledge, first the weight loss, then the life change, now i will be making a food pledge. Some believe half of weight loss is food, i believe 70% of weight loss is food. which is my biggest problem. I can work my ass off and lose a lot of weight, but if i take a break from working out, or fall off the bandwagon for some reason, I gain it all back and plus some, because my eating habbits are usually horrible.

So in order to make sure I can keep the weight off no matter what and also to be much healthier.

                   I PLEDGE....

• Stop Eating late at night (past 9pm)
• Nothing but water after or tea after 9pm
• Only beverages outside of water will be..powerade, hot tea, diet drinks, and light tea.
• Cut out pork, beef, starches, hard carbs, sugars.
• Only eat veggies, fruits, fish, and chicken, whole wheats, grain, and oats.
• Only 2 cheat days a month, no deperivation needed.

I will follow this pledge to the tee,and set up an eating plan....

  I will drink water, b4 and during every workout
  I will have a protien after every workout of for breakfast
  I will have a protien bar, or gornola bar, or a dry oat/wheat cereal 2hrs. later
  I will have a V8  2hrs. later
  I will have fruit 2hr later
  I will eat dinner more hours later
  last is a salad, or broth or something light b4 9pm

I will be giving updates on this eating plan, I plan to follow at least until the beginning of Nov. then i plan to switch to p90x fitness plan, which also has a eating plan.

My FUTURE GOALS!!!

as you all know my ultimate goal is to lose 144 pounds total. I am 36 pound closer to the goal. so I am now at losing 108 pounds. i want to hit 120pounds. mainly because i haven't been that size since i was at least 10 and i was considered chubby, because of my height and age. so the three current goals I have broken my weight lose into are...

• Halloween, which you already know about and i have done a separte blog on.
• My second is my 21st B-day. I would like to lose another 36 pounds, which is 3 pounds a week until my birthday. i should be 165 pounds.  
• My third I am calling the Ultimate goal. I would like to lose 40 pounds by june 1st. this will be the ultimate weight lost i have ever had and i will be in the 120's. I should be 125 pounds. this is when i want to be able to wear a bikini for the first time ever. i want to be truely comfortable in my own skin.

I want to be able to shop at hollister, vanity, charlotte russe, forever 21, hotmiami styles, etc. and feel comfortable to know they have my size. I believe i will be about a size 6 and I plan to stay at that size

if I am larger in pants size, it's okay if i look and feel great. These are my future challenges for my get fit get sexy pleadge!!!! lol

My Current Goal.. Halloween

Get Fit Get Healthy Pledge!!! so my current weight goal is to lose another 27 pounds by halloween. I had started this challenge two weeks ago sorry I am just now posting about it. however, halloween is in another 2months. DO i think I can do it?? Yes i believe I can. i will try to lose 3 pounds a week. Including this week and there after I believe it can be accomplised

If I lose this weight I should be at 201 which i will be happy with that weight and if i lose more than i will be estatic. I will do my final weigh in on Oct 30, moms Bday. Hope you guys join in!!!

I Have Lost 36 POUNDS !!!! AND How I did It!

Yes, I have lost 36 pounds and still counting, all in 5 months. I am sooo excited to have progress and be able to share my results so far with you. I haven't worked as hard as I could or wanted, but i did put forth effort. because of the little effort i put forth and the dedication I've held has given me the chance to make the change well needed.

So back in april i disovered i was 264 pounds after not weighing myself in two years. which doesn't mean i had gain that weight over a two year period, I actually gained that weight during the course of 7-8 months. prior to that I had actually lost weight. I went from a size 16 to a size 12. before i weighed myself i realized i couldn't fit a sized 16 after months of sitting around doing nothing. then before i knew it I was a size 18.

Then i went shopping a few months later and i was a size 24!!!. it was horrible i didn't even want to buy anything, but i needed some clothes, because i could no longer fit into anything i had at home. So i bought one pair of jeans, and vowed to not need to purchase anymore pants until i lost weight. then i finally weighed myself on my bff scale and discovered I was 264 pounds. I changed my eating habits a little and i ordered diet pills, or diet supplements. the brand of choice was acai by lean body burn, and  a colon cleanse called advance colon cleanse.

These suppliments last approxiately 30 days taking 2 a day. I didn't take any vitamens or anything else with them. I didn't want anything to interfere with the results. I also was worried about the ingredients mixing with the vitamens. So, fast forwarding I think the suppliments did the bulk of the work which lead me to lose 14 pound by the beginning of June. i will admit i took the suppliments for two weeks, stopped, because i wasn't working out. then I started taking them again in the beginning of may. which is when i started schools, so i was eating less, getting up earlier, going to bed earlier and more importantly eating less..lol

the school is built on a hill so i had a lot of incline walking, and when i did eat i ate subway at school. I went to the school fitness center maybe 3xs. but it was the walking and just being more active that lead to my weight loss of 22 pounds. Which recently i weighed myself as u know and am now 228 pounds.


I never thought i would be happy to be 228 pounds but it feels great, i feel lighter and even feel more motivated. as far as my eating habbits they can be better. But I am doing a great job of working it all off.

Havent forgotten..

Hey fellow bloggers, and anyone who follows me... I am still here and keeping my promises to myself.
I have been busy with life and know i haven't kept my promise to you about my weekly post. Here I am to show you I can follow through, and let you I have been changing for the better.

New Changes
I have joined a gym
I have lost 36 pund total and 12 pounds since I've take my 7 month 28 day pledge!
I am rebuilding my sef-esteem
I am eating better
I am taking myself more seriously!

Not quite where I want to be....but close

This week i will be moving, not quite where I want but better than where I am. I plan in 14 months (which is after the lease is up at the new apartment) to move into my dream apartment. My dream apartment is about $10 more then the place we're moving to. which is fine. plus it has hard wood floors in the foryer, kitchen , and laundry room. biege carpet through out the rest and tile in the bath room. They were giving us an awesome deal, but we were afraid our credit was quite where it should be. To make a long story short I will be taking these next 14 months to buld my credit, then buy a new car , and move into the dream apartment!

7 Months 28 Days

         I sit here with so many plans deep inside I am about to burst. Moving in 2 days, starting a CNA program in a month, and all while being an full time student at My local community college. here i am 20 yrs. old, and most would say i have so much life ahead of me, and enjoy now and plan for later. I am not where i want to be, eventhough I am clearly heading in that direction. i want a  career where i am making tons of money (yeah it might sound shallow, but it's what I want). I want a hobby that keeps me happy, and can always calm me. I want a lifestyle full of fun, love, and happieness. I want to make my mark on the world, and enjoy moments as though their my last.

         Because I am not where I want to be, I will be making my transformation starting now...

                  Transformation:

•  lose a 140 lbs
• reach bra strap length w/hair growth
• re-invent ware drob
• build a bigger fan base on youtube
• save 5,000
• complete CNA program
• work as CNA

       Deadline: January, 28 2011

• 7 months 28 days

Why did I pick January 28, 2011, because that will be my 21st bday. i don't want to look back on my 20's with complete regret, for not being who I want to be. I lost myself these last 2yrs. I have been little by little taken it all back. I gained at least 70 lbs in the last year. Did not attend college, nor did I keep a job. I let my fiance take care of my in more ways than one, and wrap my whole world around him. I became a bitter, and angry person. The things I once loved and adored in myself I let slip right through my fingers. I became the person I despised and would want nothing to do with.


July 1st will be the beginning of my journey to a new and better me.I will keep monthly vlogs on youtube on my journey and progress. I will keep weekly updates on my blog. I will show my weight loss and hair growth progress. I will also show the changes in my lifestyle at the end of my 7 month 28 days. I will post my final progress update on january 27, 2011. I will love to inspire those who are feeling down and in need of a change. Join me on my change and journey.  Lets all see the difference from now to then.

My weight loss journey and goals

As of now you can go on youtube and wtch my vids on my goals and journey to getting fit. Here I will try to give more details as to what I plan to do and my weight-losss.

So I am planning to do a 5k in Oct. 2010. therefore there will be a lot of training involved in accomplishing this goal. Trust me i am doing a lot of research since i will be doing this all on my own, and with the support of my family and friends, and of course you! So as of tomorrow 6/9/2010 I will have 5months before the big event. if you don't know what a 5k is, it's 3.1 miles. Which if  you talk to most marathon runners thats baby steps to them. Which is fine for me, because I am not trying to impress anyone.

So I discovered this 12 week beginners training plan for marathons, and it's a little intense. it's almost based on if you're already a runner, which I am not. So because i am not in shap as much as i need be for this trainig prgram that's 3 months. I will be doing my own traing program for the first two months to build to the 12week training program. Mine will be somewhat simple, but not easy whatsoever.

Month 1
 --: workout 4x's a week, 3 days intense cardio, 1 day simple activities.  The intense cardio will be done either on the eliptical or treadmil. 30 min's on each. On simple activiy days, I will weight lift, walk, jog, or launches.  After my 4 days aI will go to the track and run 1mile, which will be 4 laps on the track I will be going to. I will time myself, and record my endurance. I will do this for the fiirst 4 weeks of my training program

Month 2
--: I will increase my work out days to 5x's a week, and increase my run on the track to 2 miles, which is 8 laps around the track I will be running. I will give myself one rest day, which by marathon running standards I am still allowed to do light work outs, may it be on a bike, swim, or jog, or nothing at all. i will probably do yoga on these days. I will also increase my cardio workouts to 45mins, each.

I will give a later update on my 12 week program I will be doing by month 3, after I finish my two months. I want to focus on one phase then go to another.

As far as my eating i will be intaking 1200 cals per day, women should not eat no less than 1200 per day, and men no less than 1800 per day. To burn 1600 cals you need atleast 2hrs in the gym. Which why you need to trick your body by eating 6'x a day 6 small meals. and know what to eat to burn the right fat. I am no nutirtunist or expert, so speak with a physician before you begin any weight-loss plan. Also it's to my knowledge that to start off you should drop off 500 cals from your current cal intake per day, and no more than 1000 cals. You can't jump from one extreme to the next and expect results. Build your body up, in order to see loing lasting results.

I am on youtube!

Hey everyone guess what I am on youtube!! YAY! I know i've had a youtube channel for the longest but I haven't been able to make vids on there. Now I have equitment, not the best if I might add. But i wanted to start doing something so i can get some loyal subbies, and get some fun started. I so far have two subbies that I am grateful for. So atleast I wont look like an idiot in youtube, making vids that no one is watching, Like my blog. However, this something I enjoy and even if I only get 1 or 2 followers here on my blog, like my youtube channel, at least I know someones listening.

So I will be using my youtube channel, for now, as a weight loss tool, and motivating tool. This way I can actually show results in person, and you can see the difference from my earlier vids, to my future vids. i will definetly use my blog to keep the info up on my hair, and makeup. My fund are very slim like I want to be right now, so make-up post and vid-tut's will have wait for now. but trust they will be coming soon. I will also talk about my weight loss journey and updates, on here too. But for now I want to let you know where I've been....On youtube,m as beautifullyhuman01, check me out!

Introducing myself and my blog part II

I decided to break it up for yall so you wont get bored......

After explaining everything I have been dealing with  as far as my hair, he looked at me and said "Oh baby, I'm sorry your going through this. you know I don't care I love you. What do you want to do?" I was shocked and  little dump founded and told him I didn't know and he suggested I look it up on the internet. So I typed in African American Hair into googles search engine, and i ran accross a ton of info. The main thing I saw was youtube. I had only used youtube to watch music videos from time to time, but never to watch other people. so i checked out several videos and ran across a lady who was midback  to waist length. At first I was surprise and confused. I have never seen so many black women with hair that length, without "good genes" or having something else mixed into their genes. I know I know. It sounds horribly ignornat for me to think that way. Most would expect me to be the last one to think on that level. Guess it was something un-noticably ingraned in me. So the one particuar lady i ran into was natural, I believe her name is lovelyti2002, and her hair was beautiful. so I started follwing her videos and coming across other related vids simular to hers. to make a long story shorter, I figured the only way to regain any health and length to my hair I had to go natural. so I started my natural hair care journey that lasted 3-4 months. I stopped wearing perms and started wearing wigs as protective stylings as she had suggested. She used a lot of natural oils and shea butter, and even hosehold food. I however, didn't have the money and access to thos items at the time. Plus thoes 3-4 months were one of the roughest and confusing months I have ever experienced with my hair. During my 3-4 month period I ran accross another lovely youtuber/blogger by the name dprincess28 i believe. her blog is http://www.glorycrown.blogspot.com/.

Dprincess introduced me to blogging, and staying natural with products you can find at local stores. she had been on her journey for 6 years I believe. Her hair looks amazing, and immediately captured my attention. No offense to lovelyti, but she was also very economical, and logical. So in retrospect she became my new guidance on hair. I watched every video she made and began making my own regimen.

At this point my hair repairing had turned into a hair obssesion. I then ran acrossed a lady name traycee through dprincess. She had created a sit http://www.k-i-s-s.biz/ and a blogspot http://www.keepitsimplesista.blogspot.cohim/ . What was unique about her was that she was mid-back length at the time, and also relaxed. Which was exactly what I needed. It seemed easier, and effective. following her and her website in combination with Dprincess I was able to venture out on my own. I was able to experiment with products with confidence, and set my goals for my hair. my main goal last year of 2009 was to gain my strength, health, and fullness, which I was able to achieve. Unexpectantly I was able to retain a little length. I went from ear length back to shoulder length.

pic of my hair a week and a half ago after a 3 month stretched and  a relaxer.

I am now on my journey reach armpit length by the end of this year 2010. I recently purchased Virgin Indian Remy Hair which I will definitely blog about. For now just introducing myself.

Introducing myself and my blog part I

Hello everyone, I am beautifully Human and I will be blogging about many things. I am not trying to be informal with my screen name, I am just aware of the dangers of having a blog and exposing yourself  on the internet. The reason for me starting a blog, however, is  because i was helped trumendously by other bloggers, and youtubers. Therefore, I am hoping with the knowledge that I have recieved thus far will be able to help others like myself. Hopefully I can  create another haven for African American women, and women ingeneral,to discuss hair, make-up, fashion, weight-loss, or everyday life and issues. I begun a hair journey almost one year ago in May, and a weight loss journey several weeks ago. The reason for my hair journey was because my hair began to fall out in early spring 2009. I have always worn sew-in weaves and my hair was able to maintain some form of health and length. However in the summer of 2008 I moved in with my now fiance. I was insecure in him seeing my real hair, in that he may be disappointed, because he perfer long flowing hair. I have always been confident in my appearance, outside of the periodic struggle with my weight. My hair however, wasn't an issue for me, due to it not being short or unhealthy just not long and flowing. My hair came to about shoulder length, but not to my satisfaction. Maybe because of what I realize now that my hair wasn't as healthy as I believed. I constantly wore weaves since my sophmore year in high school. I have always done my own installations, and became very good at them. In fact I was nominated for best hair my senior year of high school. Believe it or not my school was extremely diverse, but still the majority was considerable white. So eventhough I was constantly wearing weaves, I would give my hair a break, especially during the summer months out of school. My hair loved the breaks and grew like crazy, what I have now realized. But when I moved in with my honey, I never gave my hair a break. I was constantly, weaving, and relaxing without any breaks in between. He works second shift, and I will often do my hair while he was at work. A year after constant weaving and no true hair care whatsoever, my hair broke off horribly. I was beginning to not have enough lenght to even cover my tracks. So I went from an unhealthy shoulder lenght to an even unhealthier ear length, although some of my hair that stayed braided had maintain some length, it was horrible and beginning to fall out. Sadly I tucked my tail between my legs and told my fiance what I have been going through.
