2019 I wasn’t ready I feel like I wasn’t quite there to have my hot girl summer, I had fun but I remember that year I was working and running like crazy actually I didn’t really have a chance to just say… “Ok let’s hit the pause button and just stop to vacay”. I was working 3 jobs actually and trying to make ends meet. I was on a roll actually. The following year we all shut down we were all on pause in 2020. 2021..things starting warming up I was back to working full time I took a small birthday/anniversary trip to celebrate my bestie and her husband’s anniversary and her daughter’s birthday too. We took an epic memorable trip to Magic Kingdom that was amazing, an experience I will cherish forever, and hope we all get a chance again. Now finally this time in 2022 I feel like I am on the brink of a hot girl summer. Your girl dropped about 15 pounds (April 2020-June 2022) (Pandemic Weight….10 more to go as the saying goes even during the pandemic God’s still not done with me yet. I feel honored to keep on fighting on Earth. Ya’ll seriously would’ve thought I had 2 kids already by now lol the way I was eating my mom’s homemade cookies, brownies, fried chicken, Macaroni & cheese, brussel sprouts, and my own cooking lol.) How did I do it….small portions, a nutritionist, walking, going back to the gym, taking the stairs. No special diet, or tricks. Just saying you can do it, you ate, enjoyed these meals, now it’s time to tone up that’s it. Do it for you no one else. I did it I thought about all of the beautiful days, celebrations, parties, concerts, festivals, beach days, and new men I would meet.
I didn’t do it for them…I did it for me. I did it for my arthritis, I was diagnosed in January 2020 the same year we got hit with the pandemic, I realized that me losing the “pandemic weight” would help my bones, extra weight would add extra pressure to my bones, especially my knees and joints. So we focused on a nutritional diet, no specialties, just small portions, and maybe the occasional snack, I substituted “the bad sweets”: processed sweets, processed ice creams, donuts, and cookies (only the bad sweets for special occasions or a reward maybe once a month). I limited my intake. I tried to reward myself with “the good sweets”: yogurt, fruit, fruit snacks, chocolate milk, almonds, popcorn, protein snacks, Kind bars.
Then let’s say in my love life I dropped 500 pounds of “Man Weight” which is probably the total amount of pounds for the men I was dating in the past lol!!!! (I am single, I embrace it I am not looking back anymore) and ready to start fresh. I always get really excited when I am single, I am starting a new job soon because it means I am on a new path and journey. Maybe even possibly moving somewhere new finally. So I feel like for me this summer I can finally start fresh again. So to all of my single ladies, engaged ladies, married ladies, dating ladies, divorced ladies, moms, moms to be lol…this is for you.
You ready let’s have a hot girl summer all of you beautiful “Mamacitas” deserve a “Hot Girl Summer” this year after the last 2 ½ years you deserve to just hit the pause button on everything and say. “Yes I am going to do something just for me and enjoy my time”.
“How to have a hot girl summer”
1. Remember when you would take those amazing trips with your girlfriends or your friends would go to the beach, go on a road trip, go on vacation let’s say Cancun, Daytona Beach, Miami or wherever. Do not lose that side of you…go somewhere that sparks joy, happiness, a happy moment, it doesn’t matter if you were 5, 15, 25, you get what I mean. Go to a place that brings you joy it signals something in your brain to say. “Yes I remember what life was like when I came here…those were good times. Stay in that moment”. Salvage and treasure that moment and then recreate it with the people who you love who bring out the best in you, or if you want to go solo and have some peace and you time. Do that too.

| I needed this day this was moment I knew..."Yeah it's time for a hot girl summer" LMAO!!!!! taken June 25, 2022 in Coney Island-Brooklyn NY |
I took a trip to Coney Island by myself and it actually did me some good. I ate Pina Colada gelato at “Coney’s Cones”, stuck my feet in the water at the beach, looked at all of the smiling faces, couples kissing in the ocean, and kids playing in the sand. That was all I needed it only cost me $5.50 for the trip, $7.00 for the ice cream, and then I treated myself to the movies. That’s all I needed was something happy, familiar, and enjoyable to take me back to a happier, less complicated time. Not only that but it just made me remember everything will pass. You will be even better this was a challenging time but you will come back.
