You can't continue to try to eat and drink any that you want, exercise 3 days a week for one hour, and think that that's going to do it for you.  You could exercise seven days a week, but if you're not intaking the more healthier foods to either help you lose weight, maintain, or gain, you'll never get to the point to where you want to be.  Your eating really depicts how your body will change.  You have to take baby steps to teach yourself how to eat healthier.  You have to  start out by substituting foods that you eat for the same foods.  If you like to eat rice, don't eat white rice, change to brown or yellow rice.  If you like to eat fried foods, try and transition to eating more baked and grilled foods.  If you use lots of salt, change to more seasoning salts.  Please make sure when you go out to eat, try and get one of the more healthier things on the menu.  Just because you are out to eat doesn't mean you have to have the worse item on the menu.  This is the time you should try and eat more healthy with smaller portions because most of us spend our time at some type of restaurant do to our busy schedules.  Just remember that you will not give up everything over night, but over time you will observe yourself become a more committed and healthier eater.

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.
