Okay so sometimes we need the motivation to get to the next level in our life. I am the type of person who will get a kick in the pants when I see others reaching their success goals. I mean who doesn’t want to achieve their dreams. I don’t think I am any different the next person. This morning at 5 a.m. I found myself doing yoga and then walking a loop around my neighborhood later on. I am going to give you two words to explain why I had this sudden burst of energy. Teyana Taylor. I like many people last night was watching the VMAs. Now let me be honest at first I was just watching it to see Beyoncé and Rihanna’s performances. I am a fan of theirs. So of course I wanted to see what they were going to do. They did not disappoint. I thought both of them gave great performances. I really enjoyed it. Let me tell you something though. They did not have me up this morning trying to get my fitness life back on track. Nope, not them. It was Teyana Taylor. I was not prepared for what she was serving in Kanye West’s Fade video. I am not kidding. If you didn’t see it you need to catch it sometime this week cause you know the awards show will be on repeat. The girl looked freaking amazing. Can you believe she just had a baby freaking eight months ago?! Here I am almost 15 years later still sending out a search team for my freaking abs. I might have to call the freaking FBI at this point. Ugh!
I will say this though. I know how she got to where she is now. The girl has been active and fit from the beginning. She has been dedicated. She works out and eats right. I won’t say it’s because she is a celebrity and got money to be where she is. I know some people who aren’t celebrities who got they ish together fitness-wise too. Basically, the woman earned her body. It calls for a better diet, and I know I should probably include nutritional supplements (which can be purchased using these Activated You deals or others like them) and more protein in my diet as well as get proper rest. But here I am! I skip a few days which isn’t bad but I can do a little better.
I’m not trying to get her exact body but I would love to find at least a couple of ab muscles. A girl can dream right. I was seeing all these muscles I had never seen before. The girl was killing it. She also had some moves. I mean she had me all in my feelings. To think I almost changed the channel because Kanye was giving this super long speech. I almost didn’t make it. Now be honest. Did Teyana have you up this morning or do you plan on working out later? What did you think of her body?

She looks amazing, it’s refreshing to see a woman portrayed looking a bit muscular and toned rather than super duper thin. You can tell she’s healthy and works hard. I can imagine watching to switch the channel when Kanye was on lol. I’d love to lose weight and be that dedicated.

Wow. She definitely earned it! With all the dedication and hard work, she truly deserves to have a body like that. I used to blame my flab on my genes, but I guess I have to change my mindset.

I just had baby #7 on the 10th so I’m looking for motivation right now to get back into shape and get my body back to what it once was!
Kgilbert says
You will get there. I am a starter and stopper. I’ve been pretty much on since I think February.

I totally agree. I am working on it over here. It is so hard.
Christina Aliperti says
OMG, her body is amazing beyond words. I saw her on TMZ and she said that dance is her main form of workout and how she maintains her body. She is definitely inspiring and motivating.
Kgilbert says
I definitely am going to have to start dancing in the house for no reason like I use to. I love to dance.
Maria says
A fantastic post, Katherine! Teyana does look amazing and I’m sure it took a lot of dedication to reach that level of fitness. Motivation is very important and she sure has motivated you to start thinking about getting fit. I want to become fit too but the work-study-life balance is impossible and after graduation it will probably get worse. I look forward to hearing about updates on your fitness workouts.
