Where do I start? Today I sat talking to my eldest daughter and she reminded me of the many individuals that are always asking me for help on how to get healthy. It came to me that maybe it was time to share my story and how I learned how to WIN this battle for health. So Let me start it with my struggles.
In January 2013 (the first picture above) if I wasn't 200 pounds I was just inches away from it. I was feeling tired all the time and I was always sick. My vision was getting worst and my blood pressure was uncontrollable even with my medicine. I remember praying fervently and asking God to help me lose the weight.
He showed me a picture of myself. I was standing there with my hands up praying and holding Twizzlers!

What God was trying to show me is I was asking Him to change something for me, but I wasn't willing to change anything for that to happen. In fact, what the Spirit of God spoke to my heart was this, "Why would I heal you when you aren't doing your part?" WOW! What a blow. I realized, truthfully, I wanted somethings but I hadn't been willing to make any changes on my part.
So why this blog? Several of my sister in Christ came to my house a few days ago and said, sister you need to do some how-to-videos or something to help us out. That was God speaking to that teacher in me. I am always willing to help someone out. So for the journey of this blog, I will share my story on how I lost 45 pounds, feeling better, staying well (I haven't been ill since January 2013), and how so many things in my health have improved. The after picture above is before I reached my goal, where I am currently. I was a size 8 above, I am holding at a size 6/4. I'll share the internal journey you have to take along with some tips to help you get started. This blog was simply to introduce myself to you and invite you along for the journey of how to WIN in health, so that you can WIN in life.
Let's get started....
