Welcome!!!

Welcome to my blog about...well...my faith and all other things random. Just documenting my journey through life and following God. I initially began blogging about my faith but this PhD is testing my sanity so now I blog about faith and all other things that keep me sane!

New Year Fasting Updates

So 2011 is here and I must say that life has been moving pretty fast.  Celebrated my 25th birthday Saturday woop woop!  Almost done with my fast (Feb 6th)!  Can I just say that dieting will certainly do the trick with weight loss better than exercise!  Calm down calm down I'm only saying that b/c for years I've always exercised but diets...yeaaa just not my thing.  It helped me to maintain but I still had splurges or whatever but anywho I digress.  Since Jan 3rd I've been fasting from breads, potatoes, pastas, corn, milk, rice, desserts, and any beverage except for water and I feel sooo refreshed!  I have certainly dropped weight and I admit...I haven't worked out since 2010.  The fast helped me to realize that I clearly don't eat enough veggies so after the fast is done I'm going to adopt some of the things from the fast and incorporate them into my everyday lifestyle.

Did a scavenger hunt for my birthday which was HEE-LARRY-US!  Had all of my friends running around looking crazy but we had so many good laughs and stuff from it...def one for the memory books!

A couple months from now I have a testimony that I would like to share with you all but it's still unfolding at the moment so I'm still working through it.  Hopefully it will save someone else's life or prevent it from happening in the lives of others.  This entry is a bit all over the place and truthfully that's because I wanted to share what was going on but I changed my mind....not ready for that yet...but I didn't want to waste the few minutes that I used to log on by not writing an entry lol. 

Almost done with my grad school essays/applications.  My #1 choice for grad school is the PhD program at Meharry and then it's Georgia State...lastly is Clark Atlanta.  Keeping the faith!  I'm excited about what the future holds.  Ready for the challenge and new experiences.  I'm gonna do better with my blogging but for now with my fasting and recent events it's hard to squeeze the time in for it but have no fear I'll be back before you know it!
