On a daily basis, I ask a lot of people how are their eating habits coming along with their exercise regiment.  If they have a pretty good diet, they'll say they eat healthy, and it they don't, then that's just what they will tell you, or they will say that they don't eat that much.  I'll ask what did they eat, and from what they tell me and what I hear, they don't eat  much.  Well it has to be something, because you're still gaining weight and not losing.  Just because you're not eating that much, doesn't mean that you are putting some type of substance into your body that's causing you to gain weight.  Many of us saturate our bodies with calorie filled beverages.  You may have 3 or 4 cups of coffee in the morning, but not eat until lunch.  Or you may just have 2 cokes and 1 cup of tea after lunch to hold you over until dinner.  Last, you may have a glass of wine or beer just before you get in the bed.  You probably didn't eat much that day, but you sure did drink a lot of calories.  Most of us don't think about the calories in the beverages causing you to gain weight.  A lot of times that's the main cause of people gaining the weight.  Since they feel their eating healthy, they can drink what they want.  Sorry, that's not the way it goes eighter.  You have to stay disciplined and intake the calories from various liquids and foods that's going to provide the least amount of weight gain.

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.
