Side Bar (SB): Yes, he's the father of both my children. LOL!
So....... I got inspired to start blogging after making the life-changing decison to lose weight! I found that most blogs or YouTube videos have people who have ALREADY LOST THE WEIGHT and are trying to remember how it was at the beginning and just going through the motions with you. But I rather see someone still in the motion... seeing the ups and downs of the journey because IT-IS-HARD! So bravo to all those out there that have mastered the weight loss game! I truly admire you! But I'm looking for someone that isn't afraid to show the blood, sweat and tears. And this whole time I was looking for me! J So after my daughter was born, I woke up one morning and realized that it was just time! Time to GET IT TOGETHER! Be more active and lead a healthier lifestyle for not only myself, but for my family as well. Once I embedded that mission into my heart, it was OONNNNNN!!! (in my growling face)
Now like many of us, I've attempted to lose weight plenty of times in the past. Even before I had children. I'd join gyms with my friends... which was just another place for us to hang out and act up! LOL! I had joined "Weight Watchers" a couple of times... which worked but I thought I knew everything there was to know after attending a few meetings and then I'd stop going. Plus, I was saving $10-$13 a week by skipping them. LOL! Even after I had my son, I tried the "17 Day Diet" which WORKS but after awhile, you get tired of eating limited foods! Uughh! So as time past, I slowly packed on weight. Which really didn't bother me because I have a pretty decent shape to be a big girl, I know how to dress, and on top of that I'M CONFIDENT THAN MO'FO! I love being me and I love doing me!! I be setting trends and I don't even know it! K And from loving myself, I am able to admit to myself that it's time to do something about my weight. On top of, of course, wanting to shop at various stores BESIDES Lane Bryant, Ashley Stewarts, and Fashion Bug *rolling my eyes*... I actually WANT to be HEALTHY, I want to LIVE LONG, I want to ENJOY LIFE with my children, family, and friends. And I know the root of that is a healthy lifestyle. Above all, I want the gratification of knowing I DID IT! No tricks, gimmicks, diet pills/drinks, or surgery! Just ME and MY INNER STRENGTH!
So if you're willing, come on this journey with me... I'm telling all truths, I want you to get to know me, I want to get to know you, I want you to be inspired to do whatever it is your heart desires. So buckle up, and enjoy the ride... because believe me it's going to be a bumpy one! J
