And although that P90X hype that I stumbled into has fallen by the wayside (I’m not a DVD fitness kinda chick), I’m still trying to hold steady to my healthy lifestyle. If y’all haven’t found her already, take a look at A Black Woman’s Guide to Weight Loss. Her story is hella inspiring (145 lb weight loss…WOW), regardless of your size or body type.
