Tea Time w/ Green Tea & B.(Empowered) are 1

Its been a while since I blogged, but I'm back. The last time you heard from me, I was at the Grammys. I definitely took in and processed every detail of the experience so I'd be prepared in the future for when I accept my Grammy.  It was definitely an eyeopening experience to see things as they occurred behind the scenes. I definitely will attend again. More than ever, I realize that my mission: to encourage people to grow, love, and heal via music is needed:) So, I'm here to stay:)

Since returning from the Grammy's I've been working hard, performing, songwriting,  solidifying my brand, being active in the grammy association, baking, loving, and everything in between to spread the music :) and you guys have been in my corner cheering me along the way.  I so appreciate you alls support too, it definitely doesn't go unnoticed. It means the world. You, Greenteaslovers, hold me down!

Okay so now that we are semi- caught up (there's so much more but we have time to catch up over the next blog posts).... Guess What?!! Tea Time with Green Tea is Back! Yes, I listen lol! So many people reported in that they missed Tea Time with Green Tea and so we  brought it back! We are combining it with the blog and I'm so excited:) It's here:)  I need you to be active and involved in it too!  Let me know your thoughts, send in your questions to greenteasoul@greenteasoul.com all that:)

Tea Time w/Green Tea: Love

I need to see it for myself!

Today is the last day of the month, and I went to go weigh-in at Weight Watchers (WW) just to see where I was...actually, I'm lying..I kinda had an idea as to where I was on the scale, as I get on the scale every morning. **sidebar: I get on the scale every morning because it keeps me accountable to everything that I eat....but that's what works for me..you have to find what keeps you on the straight an narrow.
Anyways I digress... Now, I know I was about a pound above my goal weight (my at home scale). When I got to weight watchers though, I was .8 above my goal weight (yippee for the minus .2). Now, I am a life-time member at WW, and so that means I can only be 2lbs above or under my goal weight...but I wasn't nervous at all. When it comes down to it I know what I need to do to lose the weight if I really want too.  The WW rep was like are you sure you want the print out...and I said yup.  My only response was that...sometimes you just need to see it. I needed to see that I since last month, I had gained 2.6 lbs. I needed to visually see the the plus sign with those numbers behind it. Do I look good...yes...can anyone tell...no...only my husband and I discuss my weight (and its not in that demeaning way)...he's just my bestie and we make it into a game lol.  I needed to see the plus sign as a reminder to not get comfortable or lax.

I've noticed with the planning of my forthcoming album release party, Dosage III: The Time to B.E., I've a been a bit on edge, stressed, restless, and a bit lax as it comes to food. Check out the flyer.

In fact, I've realized that I've been trying to cram so much in the day, in preparation for this album release, that often times I forget to eat. What happens when you forget to eat? You're starving. What happens when you're starving? Your liable to eat anything in sight. I don't need to say what happens when you eat everything in sight lol. So to sum it up, what I'm trying to say is sometimes we get stressed and then we put what we know to the side and go with the feelings. This is an area that I've been constantly working on, battling the feelings and not allowing them to control my decisions. So I weighed in not because I didn't know where I was...but because I wanted the print-out. It let me know that 2.6  gain  in one month can continue to the next month if I let it. Think about it...2.6 every month for the next 6 months month is 15 lbs or so. As for me...that's not an option. I got my anchor my little print-out to catapult to do something about it.

I would love to hear your thoughts:)

By the way...make sure you come out to the party lol:)
