videos and basketball

today I uploaded my first youtube video. even though i've had my youtube account since 2007, I'm just now using it. If you scroll all the way to the bottom of the page you'll get to watch me w/o leaving the page! (cool, right?) right now, my videos are a little rough but once i get more comfortable in front of the camera and learn how to edit them they'll be alot better for sure.
Also, LeBron's going to Miami Heat! I'm not a big sports fan- but I do know that with LeBron, Wade and Bosh all on one team--Its a wrap. its for sure that their going to win the playoffs. Eventhough their going to be the 'dream team', i think its going to be a boring season b/c whenever heat plays someone you automatically know whose going to win.

Seventeen Magazine Fitness Schedule.

A few weeks ago I mentioned that I was trying to get into shape. 17mag just came out with a new 6-week fitness routine that I'm going to give a try. So far what i've been doing is cardio and yoga. Doing yoga is a good way to slowly bring your heart rate down and still work out. For cardio, one day I took my dog for a walk for about 15 minutes. Yesterday It was raining so I ran inside with the Wii Fit for 10 minutes.
What I like about this routine is that it's different from the other 'routines' i've tried. Most times i would get on the floor and do a lot of crunches then turn over and do some pushups and that would last me less than ten minutes. But this routine tells me how long to do things for so my work outs aren't as short and useless.
The hardest thing about working out for me is pushing myself. If I'm doing crunches or pushups and something starts to hurt i'll stop and give myself a couple of seconds to rest instead of working through the pain. Working through the pain is what usually gets you the results you want and thats something I'm going to work on.

Fitness Tip:

Your abs are just like your biceps: to make them stronger and tighter, you don't need to do 500 reps. Instead, try grabbing a 3-5lb weight. Place behind your head or on your chest and do one set of eight to fifteen sit-ups, working up to more sets as you get stronger.

Videos!

hi! i've been trying to make videos about the things that i want to talk about because i feel it would be more personal. BUT- the camera that i have is making it difficult to make videos b/c when i talk, it sounds like i have a stopped up nose or that i don't talk clear and as far as i know i talk pretty clear b/c not too many ppl have to ask for clarification when i talk. I want this to be a written blog and also a vlog. So I hope that'll be true one day--i just have to learn to talk on camera. :)

Lately i've been trying to work out more. normally i work out at home (sit ups, pushups or running with the wii fit), but now i've been trying to get out more and work-out outside. last week i went for a run (i'm never doing that again--its supposed to get up to 92 degrees!!!), but yesterday i went for a 40 minute walk around the neighborhood and i hope to continue to work towards my goal of flat abs, thinner theighs, and stronger arms.

jsyk- i'm not going off of pounds b/c

a)- the scale doesn't work

b)- its not about how much you weigh, its about how you feel.

However, when it gets really hot outside like it did today, i still do enjoy working out indoors. My favoriate thing to do is to go on youtube and search "learn to dance" and dance do the dance moves that the instructer teaches me. it's a great workout thats fun and free.
or you can type things like "learn to kickbox", or "learn karate". They all help alot.

1 year later...

okay..last year i decided to make like..3 entries and gave up. now i'm more determined to make this blog great! being 16 i've matured a lot during my first year at an actual high school.-

(long story short: in my school district schools are set up like this:

k-5

6-7

8-9

10-12, so 10th grade was my 1st year at an actual high school.)

I still want to be in the fashion industry and i've decided on what i want to do: own a magazine targeted toward black teens. (but that's a whole nother blog... check it out!)

right now im going to talk about my goals:

-get my drivers permit so i can learn to drive. (ik, ik im sixteen and still dont have my permit..LAME!)

-exercise reguraly. (running and ab work to start then i'll get more complicated)

-learn to do makeup. (last year i gave it up but this year i'm different so...we'll see.)

smokey eye

usually i don't like to wear makeup.i wanted to start but then i thought: i'm a natural beauty.so now i stick to black covergirl eyeliner.
But if i really want to look cute i put on some brown lipgloss from aerie.

fav styles <3

so, when i get older i want to be in fashion or in music. (i can't sing but i really want to be in music).
anyways, i really like to read magazines that deal with teen fashion. Like 17mag. And they said that neon colors are in. yay! i love neon. I'm the brightest-color-wearin-person you'll meet.
and (needless to say) michael jackson shirts are cute too. And i don't think they'll be just a quick fad either. I think their going to be here for a while.

talk topic:

>>how do you feel about mj's death?<<

speaking of michael jackson, (i guess i really should be saying is: typing of micheal jackson... not funny rite?) i didn't know he had such a big influence on today's music. Yesterday mtv had a big special of singers imitating mj's songs. Like fall out boy doing beat it. But what does beyonce's single ladies or ne-yo's closer have to do with it mj? the only thing i could come up with is in single ladies, beyonce is wearing 1 glove and in closer ne-yo does a dance move that mj does in beat it.

22 days till (my) school starts.
