I can do this...

My trainer, Alo, is from LA and is awesome! He is an aerobics instructor at several gyms in the area and he works with me.  When he is in LA he trains under Joseph Ojomoh...have you heard of him? No problem...I hadn't either until Alo showed us his FB profile and explained who he is.  He ain't no joke! Hell, Alo ain't no joke. 

Well, we had session 2 of PowerBox...all I can say is "OWWWWCH!!!!   KJ was not feeling well so she was not there; TP3 talked shit but didn't show (he says he will be there next week - we'll see); my Motivation was there and did better than the last time. It was good after I got past the point of wanting an ambulance. I can do this. I can do this. I CAN DO THIS!!!

I'm feeling good. I'm trying to eat better - I even started eating tilapia.  I even emailed Chef Jay (outta Charlotte) to get some different ways of cooking tilapia.  Yes, I can do this!!!

If you want to see more of what Ojomoh is doing, check out this website: http://www.ojomohpowerbox.com He cray-cray (as my Motivation would say)...

1 step at a time...make it do what it do!

Whoa!

Have you ever had one of those WHOA! moments - that moment that you see God's path for you unfolding right before your eyes?  I just had one. 

It goes back maybe a year or four - I'm not sure how long ago, but I had a vision...yes, a vision (it was not a dream because I was not sleep; visions appear when you are wide awake).  In the vision I was working in an office area but not at TIAA-CREF (my old employer); I was scheduling (as I am doing now) but I was not in Charlotte.  Everything I did 30 - 45 minutes ago was in that vision.  Once I completed the tasks at hand, I remembered the vision - that was God slapping me - telling me to continue to believe and have faith; He's got this! One of HIS defining moment...

God was preparing me long time ago for this move - I just didn't know it.  Well, I know it now.  I thank Him for it all..the layoff, the depression, the kick in the butt from my sister, the EMT class, the EMT jobs, the relationships created from those experiences, the opportunities that have been presented to me, and now, the job not in Charlotte...God is too good to me!  Even though I really want to move back to Charlotte, I realize that I am here for a reason. I will stay here as long as He tells me to. 

I say all this b/c I want someone to realize that YOU might realize HE is there but HE is!!! It will all be revealed in HIS time not your time.  Rev. Claude R. Alexander stated in one of his sermons "If I gotta wait a little longer, that just means I have to live a little longer.." 

Trust & Believe...give it to God and be let HIM to what HE does...

Its About To Be On

Well...its been a minute...I had a not-so mild case of bronchitis...its kinda hard to exercise when you can't breathe.  BUT!!!! Its about to be on...my friend, Alo, will start the boxing class tomorrow evening..we are gonna do it twice a week...the other days, I have to do cardio.  I can do this...You can do this...We can do this. We have to...our bodies are God's temples. We can't mistreat or misuse His temples...

Let's get ready for a wild ride...Alo has already said he is trying to hurt me - no pain, no gain...I had to remind him that if he hurts me then I can't work...that means it all falls on him....


Let's have a great day and make it do what it do....

Random thought: do something nice for someone else - an unexpected blessing for them.  Do it from your heart; don't wait for or expect a "thank you"...
