A few weeks ago, I told you about my "joy list". It's a list of 10 things I do to bring myself joy and leave me on cloud nine for the next 24 hours. 

Often these things are wine nights or dinners with old friends. Catching up with a loved one for 4 - 5 hours of conversation feeds my soul. 

But as I've been on a weight loss journey, I wanted to lean into a hobby that was active. 

Something with less dessert and more dumbbells. 

Whenever I reach out to my friends, lately they've been asking me to go for a long walk, join them at the gym, or jump in on one of their private training sessions. 

I honestly love the way they "move" lol (get it). I seriously love that my friends are all getting more active. 

So the hobby I am obsessed with now is skating. It takes me back to my childhood.  

Apparently you burn 600 calories per hour when you skate.

And I get 1,000 and 1 compliments on my afro.

There's no place your afro will be more complimented than an old school roller skating rink.

It's like walking back into the 60s where your untamed afro was celebrated.  

I really do love it. Oh! And I fan grilled over this popular online skater. Hey name is Sydney and she danced with Usher when he did his residency in Vegas! 

What are your hobbies?

Post photos of you working out or doing a hobby in the Facebook group. I want to see you move <3 .
