Let's Find Some Motivation...

Okay....so when I started this blog, I wanted to make sure that you all got a really good feel of who I was.  Well, you've gotten a good vibe of me spiritually, which is a huge part of who I am! However, as with the title of my blog "Authentically Spoken" I want to bring more of authentic self to the table.  I want talk to you all on a more real, every day, down to earth level.  Now don't get me wrong, I will definitely include blogs on my faith because that's important to me.  I wouldn't be who I am and where I am if it wasn't for the merciful sacrifice of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.....

Okay....so on to the next....let me guess...many of you are probably counting down the days to January 1st.  New Year's resolutions are being dusted off, revamped, recreated, or created.  But why wait until the New Year to make change?  Why not start churning those wheels towards change now?  Just last year, for the whole month of December I literally gorged to my heart's delight! I ate any and everything in sight as much as I wanted, when I wanted.  Thankfully, my church does a 21 day Daniel fast during the month of January every year.  So everything horrible I filled my body with in December was gone, gone, gone in January.  I paid for it big time!  Sooo, I wanted to take a different approach this year.  

I recently completed a 10 day detox...Okay, well maybe not exactly the full 10 days...but I did 4 days.  Hey, it was my 1st time detoxing and I got further than I initially thought.  I plan on detoxing again...this time adding another day or so. You know, work my way up slowly instead of jumping all in head first.  I recommend by the way to start slow if need be...but START! I'll post some information about the detox later...

Here's the deal, first I'm not going to profess to be a fitness guru, a nutritional expert or any of the sort.  But what I would like to do is tell you what works for me and give some information or advice on things I've read.  I was in the military for 14 years and was a fitness buff.  I ate right, worked out 2-3 times a day...and was the healthiest I could have been.  Maybe you can take some of what I do and incorporate it into your own regimen.  Nonetheless, it's going to be up to you.  Whether you adopt something from me or not, what you get out of anything is what you put into it!  

I'll end this for now, but I will definitely be posting more info, updates, and anything else I deem relevant! :)

Oh, before I leave...if this helps any...while on the detox, I lost 7lbs and 3 1/2inches in 4 days...and NO I didn't starve myself.  I actually ate throughout the entire detox.  Again, I'll be posting info about the detox...

I really hope you guys enjoyed my blog.  I want to encourage you to continue in the race set before you.  Some hurdles may be higher than others, and you may not cross it the first time around.  But if you don't give up, you'll eventually cross it!! What an accomplishment!! Be blessed!
