Well I’ve had this idea given to me by some really intelligent folks that told me to get up off my tail and start writing this blog. And as I pondered and bullcrapped for about a month, I’ve decided to finally do it. Got some assistance on how I should set it up and here I am. The good news about writing blogs is that it doesn’t have to be in any certain style or agreeable symmetry. So I am getting ready to start showing you a journey that I’m on. I’ve dedicated these blogs to my “sista”. African-American and Latina who are looking for motivation to improve overall physical health.
Here it is. Some days I’ll write and it may be funny, thought provoking, sad, uninspired, crazy or whatever my emotions are on each day. The one thing I KNOW about me is that I am definitely REAL. I keeps it real. And the best way for me to inspire and uplift during this journey of mine is to share with you what’s really going on with me.
At the beginning of this blog, you have all seen a picture of me. That is my “beginning” picture. That photo was taken in July 2006 when I was not working out and eating like I forgot I had a weight problem. I AM LOSING WEIGHT! Now this is something I’ve ALWAYS wanted to do since I started believing in the power of CABBAGE VS. CHEESEBURGERS!! I will discuss some simple strategies on how to lose weight, EXERCISE and be healthy. So let’s get moving.
At the bottom of this blog will be another photo. This is not my “after” photo but it’s a photo of progress. I’ve lost 32 pounds since November 1, 2006 and the party is still going. While I’ve lost a 5 year old child, I still need to get rid of a 17 year old heroin addict let me tell it!
I’ll write just about every day if not every other day. So sista and brothas I’m here to inspire and I consider this ministry (yeah I know……..believe it or not
).
Please enjoy this walk with me. Smooches
