I'm taking no prisoners - mainly because I don't have the energy after another heart-pumpin, keister-moving session with Jeremy the Trainer. I'm calling him "No-More-Mister-Nice-Guy" Jeremy because he is making me work my patootie off. He's always smiling and ever so gentle as he pushes me to go further than I thought possible. And I'm taking baby-steps. …

I have been on a journey with my natural hair every since I did the "Big Chop" (term for cutting off the chemically- straightened hair) of my hair when I was in my early 20's.

PULL as hard as you can." The bar doesn't actually pull up, it just measures your ability to pull up. It felt like I was trying to lift a garbage truck. There was no …

Well, I'm back to it again. I have officially decided to get healthy. Only this time I'm getting help and I am accountable to someone. Today marked my first session with a trainer and a fitness team. It all started in February while visiting my dear friends in Colorado. My friend is 83 years old and works out every day, still works, plays golf and skis. He's strong and fit. And I don't mean fit for an 80 year old. I mean fit. He's like a father to me and with that loving role comes brutal …
