How to Eat to Live: Losing Fat and the Pig by the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan
Can't have a blog about health and wellness without discussing the pig. There was a time when we had to eat this filthy animal for survival...what is our excuse today? And for those who no longer partake in eating of the actual swine flesh, let's not get self-righteous. There are many things that we may still be eating, drinking, and/or using (i.e. cleaning products, shampoos, soaps, toothpaste) that contain pork by-products, and the list gets longer everyday. Here is one website that can help with your research: www.theisraelofgodrc.com/CUPL.html

A Journey of a Thousand Miles....
...begins with one step. Or 10,000 in my case.
It has been almost 16 years since I have been my ideal weight, right before my youngest son was born. Baby fat (you know how women try to psych themselves out)? No! It is pure, unadulterated, no mistake about it, 100% sit down, eat and do nothing FAT (the "baby" is a sophomore in high school). Since that time I have struggled with the laziness and complacency that makes being overweight a way of death. I have had a couple of the proverbial "wake up calls": high blood pressure, labwork that is not quite right, etc. But it wasn't until I was 100% dissatisfied with my condition, this condition of being a thin person trapped under mounds of fat, that I actually developed the will to do something about it. And so my journey to become a lighter, healthier me has begun. To date, I have lost 12 pounds of my 30 pound goal, all due to applying the principles of How to Eat to Live Books One and Two, by the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad (which I will share in future posts), and increasing my exercise and water intake. I am not going to stop until I have lost every inch of this "baby fat" (smile). I am on a mission to prove that there is nothing that a made up mind can not do. But I don't want to do it alone; the purpose of this blog is to share, inform and motivate all of us to improve our health, no matter where we are in our wellness journey.
We are all gods, children of the Most High God; Let's GO!!!
