Swell Summer Body

 Hey y'all! It's Me! I'm Back! I was on a 9 month hiatus trying to live life as a wife, sister, and mother. So far so good...

Still working on my weight loss...lost 6lbs and trying to let go of another 34. I have been more consistent lately; I do Pilates, yoga, Brazilian Butt Lift, and Zumba on the Wii. LOL. I'm drinking more water and I am not eating after 7pm. I'm hoping for a swell summer body!

I'm certainly trying new things. Travel and food wise. As most you may not have known. I am currently the PTA President at my kids school; finishing my second year. So I have been very busy with meetings and delegating. I also have been trying to create new friendships and life ventures doing spontaneous things. Seen below...

I'm now a Karate Mom on the go constantly running errands, cooking, cleaning, going to meetings, running school events, and trying to have Meka time with hubby and close friends. I am also working on getting closer to my extended family. Going to dinner, and talking on the phone does really go a long way.

Facebook helps too! 

I consider this post to be a nutshell type of update. I hope you all are doing great and I try to spend each day doing FANTASTIC! (key word "try") 

Stay happy, healthy, and humble.

Until next time folks...

Transition

I am working on Meka.
It feels great.
I love the new me.

I am glad that I am growing, although it is tough, I love shedding these layers and becoming the beautiful person I have always wanted to become. Although I have lost a core group of friends; I have realized that their season has come to an end in my life and that they helped me grow into the woman that I am today. But now I need my husband and family to keep me lifted and focus.

I am done with the gossip, disloyalty, lying and disrespect that held this group together. I will miss the comradery, memories, and love. But moving foward my new friendships are what make me stand up for me, using god as my guide and being accountable for all my actions, There is no question that I am who I am and no one could ever change or mask that.

SHA-MECK-LA-QUAY'S INTRODUCTION

Hello all my name is Meka. I go by lots of names though. Meek, MeekMeek, Shamecklaquay, chemeketa college, Shameekmeek...the list goes on.

I love to have fun. My name doesn't describe me that well. I believe I am a bit spontaneous; but with limited pizzazz. If ya know what I mean. I wont be jumping off of anything anytime soon. But I will roll which cha.

SO about me...

I am a mom of course, you know I'm on lock down (married). I'm Happily Married with children. I have a son that is 7 and a daughter that is 4. Girls are a pain in the pants! This one she is a straight diva x10. She wants makeup, heels, and her hair done at all times. She really thinks she is 34. I am struggling not to snap on this one. now my son he is very meek. He is quiet, sweet, smart, and stays to himself. Do I hear Genius? Yep. I do.

Anyway, My honey is a sexy, tall, dark, and handsome kind of guy. The bonus is that he isn't too social so he don't need to hang with the homies or go to sport bars. He loves being home, watching UFC stuff, sports, working out, and spending time with his kids.

I tell him all the time that I make us a 10 because he is so fit he is the 1 and I am no so fit and so that makes me the 0. Put us together and what do you get. :-{   A big trophy wife.

Anywho, I digress. I am PTA President at my son's school, I cook, clean, babysit my nieces and nephews, talk to my mom and dad on a daily, rinse, wash, and repeat. everyday 24/7/365. SO now I'm trying to do me. Create some kind of outlet. So I figured why not try a blog. I will take pics of what I do and post them so you can see and hear the things that happen to Meka and Shamecklaquay. I hope you enjoy please comment, tweet, facebook, or email this blog get a sista started.
