Beverly's Thoughts, News, and Journey

Hey Guys I want to give you some news about my Grandmother; Last week she had a Liver Infection and the Doctors just placed her on some antibiotics for a couple days and sent her back home. they didn't wanted to go any further because they felt that she had enough problems as it is and my mom was upset about it  because she felt that they just was going to give up on her. Thanks to my mom and my aunt persistence they advised the doctors could she go to Birmingham for further and advanced treatment. No disrespect for EAMC (East Alabama Medical Center) there just seems to be better educated doctors in Birmingham from my personal experience. So she went to the hospital in Birmingham where she went through some tests and further treatment, the doctors said that they were able to treat her infection and now shes scheduled to go home today. I'm really happy about the news because I love my Grandma I wished I would've be there but I cant because I'm sick myself and I didn...

Lets see.. My laptop broke! so I just got a new one. Hows my love life? well I reunited with my lost love months ago something that I never thought would happen and Im happy and content with that. all it took was typing a certain name on the search on mocospace ( yes I said mocospace) and BAM! lol his name popped up. My weight still around the 250s something range and Im still looking for work in this tiny little town Im in. Lately I been thinking about going back to school but that would just have to wait for a little bit. Overall I'm doing well.

Hey guys! I have not forgotten about you at all but just a little update about me. Lately I'm in more of a slump and my weight it either goes up or down I recently weighed myself last night and now I weigh 258 I guess its good so maybe a 2lb loss? It just doesnt sound much to me. right now I'm trying to seek work and it doenst look like I'll be able to go back to school in fall so hopefully by spring I would. I'm still single and looking for love or a man hasnt really been on my mind so I'm content with it.  since Im using my sis laptop for a real brief time I'm hoping that Ill be getting some things for my other laptop such as a charger and memory so I can post up more blogs. Once I find work my main priority is saving up for my own place and car as well as my self and my health to get to my goal. I havent gave up yet. I still have some hope so thats good right?

Wow it  seems as if time has passed by so fast. But to be honest I hope next year would be a bit more better compared to this year I have been through some ups and some crazy miserable downs. some things that have happen that I thought would never ever happen actually did and now I'm using it as a learning experience and there is nothing wrong with that. When it comes to my weight of course I haven't lost any, neither have I gained. which I cant say it's a good thing since one of my major goal is to lose weight! but when it comes to not working and having to depend on others it can be quite difficult if that a hindering process that I'm trying to get myself out of by looking for work but  hardly ever anyone is hiring so now I'm just desperate.  but once I do find work I would be able to focus on taking care of me once and for all. I can't allow myself to be like this and be in area  that I'm not even happy, I just can't keep neglecting myself too m...

It is not unusual or unknown for black women to have weight problems. sometimes I wonder why are there so many Black women that are overweight or Obese? to some point I wonder when it comes to the weight do we as black women self sabotage our own health for the sake of being thick or just not wanting to be skinny. or is it the "big is beautiful mantra" Some people may think the reason why so many black women are overweight because Black men are known to like big butts or breasts. not that I'm trying to say black men are the cause or its their fault. but when it comes to black men liking big butts or breasts I would say that its just a minor myth or something silly that people made up because after all you cant speak for everyone and their preference or desires. or could it be that black women just don't want to sweat out their perms or relaxers or is it cause of food and the prices since the bad stuff such as white flour is cheaper. I'm not trying to degrade...

its not as entertaining no more like it used to be.  so I have growed out out of it. maybe someday I'll create a new account but until then I'm gone. I only have one other account and that is facebook. if you need it here it is www.facebook.com/beverly.barnes1 I think.

Hey all! I'm just not sure about going all out primal. and I havent been strict on my diet like I should however what I decided to do was to do a combination of Primal, low gi, and Low carb.. Yeah I know that does sound confusing but hey I always go by the saying "Do whatever that works for you." when I think of primal it is kind of like Low gi since it is heavily based on Vegetables and meat but the thing is Low gi includes some carbohydrate sources such as bread, rice pitas, which is why the Primal way of eating can be considered low carb. but when I think of it I might as well go for lowcarb but I love my oatmeal and mini wheats and most importantly I love my beans since they do fill me up very well and control my appetitie. I know for sure I would how to watch my starchier carb sources such as potatos but if anything I would cut back on those things of course! I just would not eat any rice. and when it comes to bread or pitas and such they would have to be lowcarb.  ...
