Starting Anew

Well yes it's been quite a while since my last post, but some times life brings changes that give you new incite. Since my last post I've decided to pursue a graduate degree, Masters in Public Health (MPH) with a concentration in Behavior Health to be exact, at the University of South Florida at Tampa!!! With this new decision brings a lot of planning and work to be done! In other words I've been slacking on my blog because of this new opportunity! Hopefully, this new opportunity will only make this blog even better. I hope to continue blogging throughout my MPH and beyond. I hope that a degree will only give me more credibility and more opportunities to reach out and help others!

As I mentioned before in my previous I will not be able to document my weight loss, training, diet, and etc until a few weeks from now, but I hope to layout my own plan and goals in the next couple weeks. Since the reason I started the blog was to document my weight loss journey and all the necessary planning that goes into that. For now, I will just blog about nutrition and health and other topics I feel are important to minority health. It so important to set goals in anything you do!! Staying on track and monitoring your goals until completion is equally important. I would like to say that http://sparkpeople.com/ is one of the best websites for anyone looking to lose weight, maintain their weight, stay healthy and fit, or looking for information on health! My member name is cds_85 if anyone would like to contact me on sparkpeople.

Another website that I want to talk about is http://www.womenshealth.gov/woman/woman-challenge/. The 2009 Woman Challenge starts May 10, 2009 and ends July 4, 2009, which kicks off the National Women's Health Week. The basis of the challenge is to encourage women to be more active. The goal of participants of the challenge is to commit to 2 hours and 30 min a week moderate-intensity aerobic physical activity. You can compete with other women participating by joining teams or individually. I'm currently trying to get my friends to join. The Challenge can be fun or competitive, whatever keeps you and your peers motivated!

Until next time eat something Green!
