The Beginning

I am starting out today. I'll give you a little background. April of 2008 I underwent gastric bypass surgery. I lost a shitload of weight and feel a whole lot better. However, I slipped back into some of my previous bad habits, which has led to me gaining some of the weight back. I am now, on a journey to get healthy and stay healthy. I put too much stock in the surgery and not enough in my Heavenly Father and what he could do for me. The surgery was a tool only.

Now, with a changed mind and renewed purpose, I am losing the weight again! Day one of my journey is today. I ate breakfast and packed my lunch, which is normal. Didn't do like I should and packed for 6 small meals, but I brought fruit and popcorn for snacks. Maybe it won't be too bad. Regardless, its a start. Today, no exercise until I get off at midnight probably, because i slept too late. Mission is to go to sleep earlier so that I can get up and go to the gym before work.

In addition to weight loss, I have also let my hair go natural, so the growth of my hair is awesome. I am doing twists and afro intermittently. I have a willing twist slave in my best friend which I will be utilizing intermittently. I am so excited about this journey. I'll be updating on all of the changes going on in my life intermittently here.
