I'm up and ready for a great day this morning, i weighed in today at 168, I'm excited cause i am back down, its been a mth since Ive started this health kick and Ive lost 6pds, i was hoping for 10 but i am happy for what i got but i can do better(i love food, lol) and i am saying that to remind my self of my goal and not to kick my self, 10pds a month is not bad i expect to loose 2pds a week at least and i can do it, I'm going to read over my previous blogs to see what changes i need to make,

Well I like to post pics of myself to see and show my improvement and as you can see with the picture above my outer thighs are taking shape, ive been working out 2 days a week on legs and thighs for the past 2 weeks, i like how they are taking shape, i have figure out a plan for the inside of my thighs,,, my upper body is taking great shape arms and shoulders and my upper abs. the problem i am having most is lower abs, hips , waist and buttocks,,, and normally Pilate's take care of that, i just gotta get my but in class.

As you see I have my meals all planed out today, i am doing a sea salt flush this morning which i do every two weeks and i will eventually move to a month, it a great cleansing for the body helps you move out that hard to get out waste and from there i will hit the gym for cardio.

My Fight To Great Health (The Start)

Wow , this is my first blog and i am excited, I am on a road to great health through prayer, meditation, relaxation, and realization... I use those 4 words because with prayer you can move mountains and believe in you, with meditation you can get in to deep thoughts of your goals and focus, relaxation brings a sense of calmness, no rush, take your time, relax it will happen, and realization,I have to realize that I have to be honest with my self and my goals, thats the only way to success and everlasting success,
What are my goals? well my main goal is to drop 30pds, by my birthday feb 11 2010, My weight has been an issue since I can remember, my heaviest 220 and my lowest (about 6yrs ago) 155. and i am 174 now, and I want to lose the weight to not only look better, move around more freely, wear anything, but to maintain a healthy life, I want to end the yo yo dieting, I want to end my addiction to food, I want to fight to great health and i will thru, prayer, meditation, relaxation, and meditation,
So where do I start, here, on my blog for the world to see and hopefully i will inspire others. I will be keeping a journal of my food intake every other day, i will be posting up weekly pictures, i will be posting up my weight every week, and posting up my w/o regime, and I will also take advise and comment from you to help me on my journey, have a blessed day, ms jazz.
