The Path To Take


Seek His will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take. Prov. 3:6

Hello Fit Fam,
It has been a while since my last post but I am super excited to share some good news. #DrumRoll…The scale is finally tipping in the right direction.
I finally have the will power to back away from that piece of cake/rice/bread or whatever. These pictures are very big deal for me. If you have read any of my previous post you will know that I just recently started struggling with my weight. I have always been a skinny girl and somewhere along the line between my late twenties till now (a rather short span of time) I became a thick plus size woman.
But first of all here is the back-story about the scale pictures above, I was helping a friend pack up her townhouse and I saw this book The 4-Hour Body by Tim Ferriss. I asked my her if I could borrow the book, and after about 30 minutes of arguing about it, she refused to loan me the book however, as soon as I left her place and went straight to the bookstore and found it.
Sorry guys I did not buy the book because of the following reasons:
  1. The book is almost as thick as my bible if not thicker
  2.  It had way too much information that had me feeling overwhelmed and
  3. All I needed was information about weight loss

So I start to thumb through the book to get the gist of it and right off the bat the author tells me to use this book as a buffet and NOT to read it cover to cover. Great!
Here’s a Direct Quote “Most people won’t need more than 150 pages to reinvent themselves. Browse the table of contents, pick the chapters that are most relevant, and discard the rest . . . for now. Pick one appearance goal and one performance goal to start.”
On top of that while I was in the bookstore I pulled up the website on my phone and a lot of the information that was geared towards me had been condensed just for me. In order to follow his advice, here are my two goals?
  • My Appearance Goal: Loose Weight using the Slow Carb Diet
  • My Performance Goal: Running Faster and Going from 5K to 50K

Stay Tuned for my progress. I am super excited!!!
