In the Beginning

So there I was on a Friday night, eating taco salad (amazing if I may add!) at my BFF’s house (we’ll call her Nikole).  Now normally in my world, things do not get much better than food but I’ll have to say I did receive THE BEST phone call in quite some time. It now became the highlight of the night. I have been anticipating this call for a LONG time. As I hung up the phone I immediately understood that I am so much better than I believe myself to be. This simple call made me love myself again.

Now I am not sure if it was actually the phone call that caused this or the years leading up to this. What I do know is that I surround myself with people who have faith in me and NEVER make me feel less than I am. “Why would they” you ask? Trust me some people have a way of bringing you down-NO MORE! NO MORE I SAY!

So as I was patiently waiting on this phone call, I patiently.began making promises to myself (I’ve been told that I have the patience of Job). These promises were mainly about how I am going to become a healthier person. I desperately need to quit smoking, I need to become a bit more fit and I need to spend more time preparing my lunches and dinners. I currently bring a lunch everyday that usually consists of kale, spinach, lettuce, peppers, olives and sunflower seeds. I occasionally make my own “Daddy dressing”. I don’t stray much except when I eat hummus or tuna. Although I do love this food, I need to change things up so I get a better variety of nutrients.

So the journey that I am going to take you on will be about healthier eating, greater endurance and nicotine withdrawal. Bear with my writing style and let me help you with the promises you have made to yourself.
