Ellis's Corner

When you are trying to lose weight or for others gain, you can't continue to step on the scale 2 and 3 times a week.  This behavior will really and truly get you very depressed.  You have to give your body some time to begin to attempt to change.  If you've began a fitness program, weigh yourself once before you start.  If you just can't wait until the end of that program, only weigh yourself one time half way through the program, then another at the end.  You can't continuously get on the scale because your body can fluctuate 1-5 lbs. up or down within a given day.  Honestly, the scale doesn't tell your true results.  I understand that you are trying to lose weight, get fit for the summer, or whatever your agenda is, but it's really about having a healthy heart.  At least helping give yourself a chance to live a longer, healthier life.  So continue with your regiment, but just stay off the scale and watch the inches decrease or increase, if that's what you are going for.

I was born in the year 1982, in Montgomery, AL. My family would relocate 7 years later to New Orleans, LA, because of an occupation transfer. For the next 16 years, I would be a resident of New Orleans,Louisiana, where I attended East Jefferson High School. I then went on to obtain a bachelor's degree, May 22, 2005, from Grambling State University in Grambling, LA. For the next 3 months, I worked for AAA roadside assistance in Metairie, LA. On Saturday August 27, 2005, my family and I evacuated back to Montgomery, from our home in New Orleans East to escape the destruction of Hurricane Katrina. Two days after evacuation, Katrina left my family and I with nothing but the support from my extended family and the generous people of Montgomery, AL. In September of the same year, I was presented a front desk job at Southeast YMCA. Upper management noticed my discipline and will to get in shape and asked me if I wouldn't mind going through proper procedures to become a fitness trainer. Every since that opportunity had been presented, I have capitalized on the opportunity to help people live healthier lifestyles. I now have my own independent fitness camps (Resolution Camp) at Shakespeare Park and Brewbaker Primary School. I am a fitness trainer for the Hillwood YMCA of Montgomery, and Vaughn Meadows Apartments. I have performed fitness programs for the ladies of the state legislature, Pilgrim Rest Baptist Church, and am currently the fitness consultant for MyFox Montgomery. I want to thank the Woods family for all of the opportunities they've presented me with. Also I want to thank everyone from Resolution Camp and anyone who has supported any and everything that I've tried to do positive for the city of Montgomery.
