I have noticed a trend in Birmingham. This city has been rated as one of the most obese cities within the United States. I think I am starting to understand why.
Whenever I have a long day at work (practically every day), I go to the gym to release some energy and unwind. Sometimes I will push my body to its limit, other days I will go just to relax. On my drive to the gym there are ALWAYS full tables at the bar nearby.
I completely understand the desire for a drink after work, but that doesn't mean I always give in to that temptation. One drink leads to the wrong food choices, to another drink, to dessert, to sitting on the couch and getting nothing done. We as a society are setting the wrong example.
On the other hand, I see girls at the gym for hours on end working out who look like they haven't eaten in days. This is just as bad if not worse. So, stop drinking so much. If you don't like your body, do something about it. But please look at your body objectively, because some can take it too far.
That's all for now. Happy friday!

Flawless
We all have this conception that flawless is possible. Unfortunately some women spend their entire lives trying to attain this look of perfection, but because someone will always judge them, these women will never become satisfied with who they are.
We are already flawless in the eyes of God. He made our bodies the way He saw was perfect and wonderful. Instead, this is about maintaining that body given to us, maintain an overall health, and finding happiness in being ourselves.
With that being said, we only have this one body. It is the vessel given to us to do the works of God. So why do we not take care of what has been given to us? Many times we forget that what we do to our bodies matters. When we keep the physical aspect of our bodies healthy, we perform better on a day to day basis.

New Beginnings
I have always wanted to get away from Florida and experience a new city. This is my time to see what else is out there to experience. I have always enjoyed hearing the stories of others and now I am ready to create my own. So hopefully this will have a lot of me and those I meet along the way.
