OPERATION FOCUS: FOOD FASHION FAITH & FITNESS

We are all guilty of making ridiculous new year's resolutions to live better, eat better, do better and rarely do we stick to those. By the 2nd week of January we have all fallen off the wagon and are back to our old heathenistic ways- I can say that because I have definitely been guilty as charged. However in lieu of recent events and looking over my life and how blessed I have been despite the downs and many ups I felt the need to push my limits of self-discipline and embark on a February fast entitled OPERATION FOCUS: FOOD FASHION FITNESS & FAITH. Today marks a month of SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION- WHOO HOO!!!!

I began this journey on February 1st by first deactivating my Facebook account while I went through this process in order to attempt to truly focus on bettering myself. My main 4 focuses were FOOD- which meant eating healthier- cutting out all meats with the except of a few fish dishes on Sunday and eating things only made of natural sugar, low in sodium, high in calcium and cutting out alcohol. This led me on the path to considering becoming a vegetarian. I also began taking multi-vitamins regularly and increasing my work out regimen in order to give my derriere more definition with my famous toothbrush squats by Amber as well as tone up my legs & arms which led to my focus on FITNESS. 

Next there was FASHION in which I am currently working on a new collection of RTW pieces for upcoming shows, a personal photo shoot to highlight my 25th birthday as well as logos, trademarks and business cards for both of my brands. In the next month I have 5 separate Fashion projects that I am very excited about. And lastly my most important focus was FAITH- I worked on praying more regularly, reflecting on past sermons and words that really moved in my spirit and reconnecting with my Father on a personal level. 

I have successfully completed a month of this fast and definitely am NOT where I wanna be but I am well on my way to where I'm GONNA BE. It taught me so much about myself but also about others and how I do not depend on anyone but myself to get where I need to be because I possess an inner strength not to be confused with pride. Others will either get a ticket come along for the ride or get left at the station.

I have to thank all of those friends and even foes who motivated me to complete this process and please continue to hold me accountable for my actions as I hope and strive to make myself not OTHERS proud!!!

Below are just a few items I ate as well as veggie meal options from Whole Foods and Mr. Natural restuarant, shout out to Tracy at Sandella's Flatbread for the awesome 490 calorie veggie flatbread and 450 calorie veggie Panini, Frank's for the veggie meatless hotdog it was amazing!!!!

Focused and Fit,
