Over the years, I would be hype about exercising for about a month, and then the Ben & Jerry's and Cheesecake Factory would start calling my name. I would abandon that workout equipment every time for those sweet treats...lol. It finally took a bad breakup last year to get me motivated to change. I joined a local boot camp and am very glad that I did. The women in there are very supportive and they are always there to listen and encourage you when you're frustrated. I've lost about 30 pounds and I couldn't have done it alone. I've hit plateau, but I am determined to break through that wall and reach my goal. I appreciate this blog post because I know i'm not alone. One thing i've noticed is that as i'm becoming physically strong, i'm becoming stronger mentally. I'm happy for you and I wish you the best!

My new challenge is to get each black woman to encourage 7 -9 of her friends, sisters, co-workers, whatever to invest in their own health. You can do it, I have your back. Contact me via Twitter if you're on it (@MeredithClark) or via e-mail: ms_mclark@hotmail.com. I'd love to stay in touch! Hey universoul*truth

I will certainly stay in touch with you through your site. Also, in looking through your site, have you ever thought of creating (and selling) video or audio podcasts of your workouts through iamplify or itunes? You should check it out (iamplify.com). I think this would be a great means for you to work out with long distance clients. Thanks Renisha. I will certainly stay in touch with you through your site.

I didn't know it caused belly fat. Wow! I had to take really high dosages of vitamin D for a while & then was supposed to take daily supplements to maintain. I didn't. Now I'll try harder to take them. Because I know it is part of the reason I'm so fatigued as well. I'm working on giving up the soda & increasing my water intake too. I love water w/lime wedges so I'm trying to make that my main drink of the day. Crystal Light type drinks with dinner only. Thanks for the encouragement! I can use it lol!

Thank you so much for sharing and encouraging Afrobella and her readers to press forward and to view fitness as a lifestyle. That is the very core of my work and what I try to get people to understand. Once they've grasped that concept and believe that they ARE capable of achieving optimal fitness, it's all uphill from there! I'd like to be updated about your journey and your progress with getting that resource blog up. I think (KNOW) it's going to be awesome. Please keep me posted on your happenings and keep up the great work! Renisha TamTamm,
