This week is about working out 3 time a week, walking twice a week and the hardest parts yet; leaving space in between my food.  (And she said that Mio was okay even with the nasty Aspartame in it).

People make It seem as though working out is an easy thing, but after years of struggling, I can honestly say, that is about talking one’s self into it and fighting for that time as is it is about the motivation. 

This thing about leveling the mountains on my plate has been easier than I thought.  However, creating some space on the plate has been challenging because after eating I am hungry and so I am dragging around my water.  Every time I feel hungry I drink which is helping with water intake. This is a battle.

The application for the cell phone is working well enough, even though it isn’t perfect, but it’s about a 90% suitable for my needs.  Meanwhile Abui has me using her Metamophose application, which I am still trying wrap my brain around, because she KNOWS if I did the workout or not.  I know that I could lie about it and all but… yeah I can’t… or can I?  I could be then that would make a mockery of her time and mine, next thing you know the streets are paved with jam and only children and animals are happy.  We all lose.

The major question she asked me for next week: what does it mean to be a Black female in the (rural) South…

Happy belated New Year!  Nothing was done on that day either due to no gas money to go into town.  We have an incredibly boring life.  (Most of my friends down here have the same life.  We make enough money to barely pay bills, put gas in the car and stay home.  This is why the military, drugs, sports, and churches are so prevalent; no one leaves otherwise).

Today’s session with Abui was about how I am to get a better job in this new small town that is closer to Tallahassee, with limited resources and a different demographic from San Jose.  Good times.  Scholar to scholar discussions, hypotheticals, rephrasing: cerebellum-fun at its finest.  Don’t get me wrong, I do this with Lance too, but this, with Abui, is cultural-vernacular with a great deal of code, subtly, and plainspoken literalness and it’s… home.

Abui and I have me working on a great deal of things this already:  I am finalizing my workout time schedule (giving myself enough time to procrastinate on it and then to finally do it).  And lot more brainstorming and prioritizing in order for other goals to work.  Furthermore, she wanted me to find a way of tracking all that I am doing.  Yes my phone has a calendar, but why use it when dates aren’t important?  I don’t like those Calorie Counter applications because those are better when one is eating out, and it takes a lot of work.  They get on my nerves.

I found an application I like and it gets the job done with colorful pictures that appeal to me and that is easy to use.

I am currently walking twice a week and working out twice a week.  The goal for workouts are 3 times weekly.  I am a binge water drinker so the application I use help with that too.

I don’t know how many of you have noticed, but as I have said previously, Abui was an old friend.  How I have been talking about her is more in a business-supervisor role.  So far we haven’t had time for no more than 1 or 2 social visits.  I’ll take what I can get.  Haha.

By the way, WE HAVE TELEVISION!!!!!!!!! A friend gave us her 85 pound, flat screen but it works.  We can now watch, Archer, the cartoon series, whom Archer, my dog, is named after!!!

I am excited these days!

Finally! I get to get back to me!  Most of the boxes are emptied, and organized.  I just need to work on office area, and get some storage.  (Still poor and jobless, because the lady I thought that I was going to work for, couldn’t afford to pay me).

I talk to Abui about everything, talking the way I do at a fifteen-miles a minute” Caribbean-California-Kami pace.  Abui listens, occasionally reminding me to slow down because I for some reason these days skip words, reverse phrases.  I’m a mess.  Again she handles it all.  After about 20 minutes of my detox-vent, we get down to business.  How to get me looking fitness model awesome…

We are closing in on the New Year, for this life-coaching thing and me it means a completely different location, job, house, outlook, and approach.

She emails me foot strengthening exercises that I am to do because I still hobble a great deal, but I function better than I did before the 30 Day Leg Challenge.  In addition she has me do this weird thing called a Summation, I personal summary of what personal definition for words mean.  For example, Health has many different meanings, depending on the industry and person.  Abui wanted to know my personal definitions for the above word and more.
