JACK LALANNE PASSES AWAY AT 96
Fitness guru Jack LaLanne passed away over the weekend, and even though he was a ripe 96, I still dedicated a few Kleenex to him. Pneumonia was the culprit.
2011 BLACKGIRLFIT(NESS) CHALLENGE!!
.

*sings all hard & loud like J Hud in the Weight Watchers commercial*
I’M FEELING GOOOOD!!
Ladies, our resolutions are fresh, and bad habits are soooo 2010! Put that Coco Loso down right nah!!
Just look at how amazing celebrities such as Jennifer Hudson and Raven-Symoné are looking these days. That could be you!
Sure celebrities have all the resources in the world, but fitness is challenging for everyone. Ciara, Beyonce, Janet Jackson, and Serena Williams don’t just roll out of bed looking that fabulous. They work hard at it. It may take more in the way of willpower for the rest of us, but fundamentally there’s absolutely nothing any of them are doing that’s outside of our reach.
Whether you are working with a personal trainer, are addicted to Wii Fit, or are taking classes at your local Y, the BlackGirlFit(ness) Challenge is all about reaching personal goals and milestones, and being the healthiest and fittest that you can be.
If you would like to participate, please friend the Facebook Page. There you will be able to post the stories about your journey, and help others who need the motivation.
I encourage everyone to share pictures. Before, after, now, ten years ago, whatever you have!
I’ll be uploading my pictures, stats, and goals soon. Won’t you join me?

I’ve had a few people nudge me about the Fitness Challenge, but I wanted to wait until everyone had the holiday debauchery out of their systems before we got down to business!
It will be announced within a few days, I promise. I’ve definitely been working on it. Thanks, ladies!
