Let the journey begin....

   Today is the first day of my blog... My blog is about the Obesity and Nutrition in America; how it is connected. This blog will be a tool used by others in hopes to understand the link between; health, nutrition and mental health by mental health I mean clearer thinking. I have set up other blogs before ... OK two, so I am trying this a third time, I am going to try and keep it up after our class.  Nutrition and fitness is my passion because it is important to practice both in our lifestyle and how they are connected. The message I want to craft or get through to people is that being obese is not the healthiest; the little things that we change in our diet and life altogether can make a drastic change.  I personally do not use the term diet... the word diet is replaced with the word                          LIFESTYLE CHANGE .

   Making the connection more real, I am going to use myself to give more meaning to you (the audience) about the connection of nutrition and obesity.  What happens when we as people eat unhealthy; such as I have in the past.   What changes when the unhealthy eating habits and little to no physical activity change to healthy eating habits and an increase in physical activity.  The videos I take are of myself throughout the change process throughout the eight weeks  

   Today I went to my first doctors appointment to see and track my starting numbers... Well, it was not what I expected...

   As I said, I weigh 326 pounds (yes, very unhealthy).  My goal is not only eat healthier, but lose 100 pounds.  The connection between public relations, obesity and nutrition is making an awareness; an awareness to young and the not-so-young.  Getting out the word of community programs and resources made available.  There is a war of drugs, war on poverty, war on terrorism...

  Let there be a WAR ON FAT.

  The test subject (Me) : 326 Lbs
                   goal weight:     220's

  Along with my goal i want to keep track on the proper numbers. Today I had my blood work done, when I get the results back I will let you all know. I am so excited about the next eight weeks and the rest of my life.     



Glory be to God.
God Bless You All
