The Ice Cream Truck Theme Song is ruined for me....FOREVER

This morning...the song played by Ice Cream trucks all over the country was officially ruined for me. I came across an article that prompted me to go listen to the original song, which was written in 1916. The song is called "Nigger Love A Watermelon! Ha! Ha! Ha!" My mouth hit the floor as I recalled how just yesterday the Ice Cream Truck came into the neighborhood and all the little kids instantly recognized the jingle and raced to the truck. After reading the article below, I was sickened. Click the link to read the article:

And then, I went to Youtube and found the original version of the song....and I threw up. Literally. Click the link to listen

Yeah. Summer is officially ruined for me and I may never purchase anything from an Ice Cream truck again. SMH

The Finish Line

For those of you who participated in the "Operation Go Hard" challenge with me, I'd like to congratulate you! And I hope you were able to see some results....

This challenge was definitely a challenge for me from the beginning to the end. It was difficult finding time to squeeze in a work out. I struggled to meet my goals for water intake. The diet was hard to get used to. There were days when I did exceptionally well....and then there were days where I messed up completely...but I didn't quit. I stuck it out to the end and that's the most important part.

Change is never easy....but it's necessary. I look at my "Before" pictures and then I look in the mirror and I am happy with what I see. My stomach has slimmed down considerably and so has my face. But that's not the only changes I noticed. I'm a food junkie, and that will never change, but I notice that I now crave different kinds of foods. My stomach rumbles for fruit and veggies more so than cookies and candy...I crave spinach more so than steak...I choose water over juice.

Overall, I'm pleased how the experience went and I plan to keep the changes in diet and activity. Hopefully, everyone who participated can say the same. <3
