Let's get this party started My!



 Wow, I am absolutely amazed at the fact that I'm in serious need of motivation to even get started!  I plan to start the 6 week body makeover by Michael Thurmond but coupled with the fatigue I'm experiencing due to one insomniac spouse,


I'm overwhelmed with a feeling of dread.  This dread, I suppose, is linked to the notion that there's no going back to the food which once comforted me, so I'm finding myself binging on all my favorites.
As if having one last go at EVERYTHING I love will suffice for the rest of my life.  
Funny thing is, is having a  taste of all these sugary confections of goodness only makes you want more.  Mentally, physically and chemically dependent on all things chocolate, I am.  Uggggh!.

  

Anyway, in doing all of this, I'm also using my hubby as the reason I haven't begun the program.  I want him  to the do the program along with me and have been waiting for him to make some time to review all the literature, body profiling etc that comes along with the program but truthfully, though I love him and want him to be healthy I've come to some cold hard facts:
 1-I  can't make him do it 
2-How can I help someone if I can't help myself 
and 
3-leading by example is the best way to accomplish things sometimes.




So that's what I resolve to do.  By Sunday, April 17, I will have put my package together, bought the groceries and begun prepping meals in accordance with the SWBM program.  BAM! And  there it is.  I've put it out there.  

I do have a positive note to celebrate.   

I've consistently been running with this wonderful group called Fit-Tastic in Raleigh.  The best running group and coaches a girl could ask for.  ; )  


Now, if I could get both my exercise consistent and my eating CLEAN and above reproach.....whoa now! I'd be on FIRE!  So here's to no looking back!



Cheers!

My 1st Blog!

Who I am: I'm new to the blogging world. I'm 28 yrs old, African American, wife, friend and sister to you through Christ. 
What I hope to accomplish: 
I hope to be a source of inspiration to others. I hope the things I learn along the way and each success I achieve will be a source of encouragement to everyone who enters this site. 


Why blog? 
I never realized there was a void of black, female bloggers out there who are focused on health, nutrition and fitness until I tried searching for it myself. So here's to filling the void! Cheers! 


Why blog about health? 
I know there are many health related blogs out there but each journey is unique.  I'm unique.  I've had quite a few health issues in my young life and I'm quite ready to nip them in the bud. I have quite a few goals in mind as well, namely prepping my body for a baby!  Sooo, I'd say it's the PERFECT time to kick start my journey to excellent health. God help me to honor the precious gifts you've blessed me with. 


Full disclosure: Yes, this will be a blog about weight loss, food, exercise, nutrition, different eating and exercise programs and quite possibly many random things along the way...like this one, Oscar the Boston, my favorite running partner.   Bear with me, as this IS a document of my journey after all. ; )
