SAMSOONA

My family had this running joke when I was little, if it were windy outside they’d say “Uh oh let’s get Samsoona inside before we lose her forever” or if someone was looking for me they’d say “Maybe the wind took her away”. I was a stick then I went through puberty and everything changed. I’ve always been curvy after puberty and I love it, I wouldn’t trade my curves for anything but I’ve come to the point where I’m uncomfortable with my weight and seriously want to do something about it. People think if you can still shop at “normal” shops your weight is not a problem, that is far from the truth and honestly my body is great at camouflaging the excess weight because of certain abundant body parts. Just because people aren’t running around calling you a fat, pregnant hippopotamus does not mean you’re healthy, and at the end of the day health is one of the most important things to stay on top of. There’s so much in life that we do not have any control over, a lot things have happened to me in the past year that I was unable to act against , so now everything that I do have power over that I’m not happy with I will change. This journey is not to impress anyone, or to fit into some kind of warped image of beauty, this journey is my first of many to embrace the person I am, be comfortable in my skin and work towards the person I want to be. This is my journey to lose weight, become fit and tone while still remaining curvy, I hope this stirs someone out there to start their own journey, whatever it maybe.

AQUA

Like most people, at the beginning of the year, my New Year's Resolution was to get fit and healthy. As with most things, I started out strong and as time went on, my enthusiasm began to wane. I didn't stop completely, but i was no longer committed. Then I recharged again at the beginning of the summer and was doing pretty well until about two weeks ago. So now it's time to recharge again. They say it's doesn't matter how many times you fall down, what matters is that you get up and climb again. This time it's a little different, I've decided to get up and climb again in front everyone. I am hoping this will keep me accountable because I know there are people out there watching me and hopefully supporting my journey. I will post entries about my workouts, nutrition, setbacks, tips, videos, pictures, and everything in between. So the journey begins, and with the support these two lovely ladies and everyone else, I hope to reach my destination. Please feel free to drop comments and tips.

REBIRTH

From the Atkins, to the Lemon, to the Beach body, to the low-calorie, you name it! Been there, done that, lost the few pounds which i gained back as soon as i stopped. I am not knocking off crash diets, but I have realized that they are temporary fixes and if I truly want to be happy and content with my body, I need to maintain a healthy lifestyle of good eating habits and exercises. It’s time to finally get to my desired goal and to do this, I need to be accountable. My goal is to be a UK size 10-12 with my curves in the right places (i don't wanna lose my D girls)so join me as I embark on this journey to my fitness rebirth with two of my friends.

We will be sharing our programs, stories, recipes, exercises, lifestyle changes, habits, and all that works for us on this journey. It won't be easy but we know it will be worth it.

Feel free to drop any advice or comments. We want you to be a part also.
