Take Care of Your Heart

Some of you might have noticed and some may not have, but for the past several days, I haven't been my usual Fetty Wap loving, crazy dancing in the kitchen, powerhouse leader, that I normally am. Well, I have not been motivated to do anything honestly. I have not been eating right. I have not been working out. I have not been drinking enough water or getting enough sleep. I am doing too much and too little and none of it is great.


My grandfather was recently hospitalized and it has been really challenging and powerful for me and my family. Family is everything. Family means more to me than money, comfort, or any dreams I might have and when the patriarch of our house falls down, it feels like it's a house of cards. It's hard to imagine someone SO STRONG, so powerful, so full of life, ever having any weakness, but I have been reminded that he is a human, too.


Today, send up some prayers for my Poppop, who is still fighting some serious stuff. Want to do something even better? Go do your FREAKING CARDIO today, please. Take care of your heart. Eat your food, do your workouts, drink your water and REST. Malnutrition is a KILLER. Inactivity is a KILLER.



Today I am reminded that I got into this business because of the profound impact that my grandmother's death had on my life. We lost her in 1999 and I have never been the same. A piece of me was taken that day. I will not willingly give any more of my heart to death from causes that can be prevented. I will be damned if I watch any more of my friends and family go down that road. Take care of yourself, inside and out. This is WHY I am so passionate about health and fitness. A warrior spirit protects those she loves.
