I do plenty of cardio and am losing weight at a nice moderate rate. I'm also being mindful of the rest of my body in regards to toning which is also commanding of time and discipline as well. The area I'm working on today is my arms. African American women are known for our 'Auntie/Big Mama' arms when we begin to reach mature age status๐. Auntie Arms is the fatty and dark elbows that signify a woman of mature age that has raised babies, grand babies, nieces, nephews, and helped in raising other peoples children. She has put in time cooking, cleaning, sewing, neutering, and a host of other things. A woman of many hats. Well...I've done and am doing those things, but I prefer to do them without the Auntie/Big Mama Arms of which I call turkey arms. The sagging of the arms resemble a turkey's neck to me๐ and I'm not having it, so bag day it is today.

Homemade Chili......lifeinabundance
Welp...even though it's still officially Fall, Winter has arrived in Michigan. It's cold, windy, and occasionally snowy. This is her way of saying 'I'm on the way, get ready'๐. I'm thankful to be getting some time to prepare even though we know she's coming, but Michigan weather has her own agenda and she does what she wants to do. One day it could be freezing, two days later it can be above average temperature and there's nothing we the residence can do about it so we adjust and roll with whatever she's doing.
The Meteorologists says the next few days are going to be breezy, cold, and snowy so I'm cooking a big helping of Chili to last us. No I didn't make homemade sauce but it still turned out just as good as it looks.#thatsurthurty
