A New Journey

I know I am horrible the past two years at posting on my blog and I have no excuses.  But I am committed to post more on here as I have jump started my journey to find the real "Alexa". 

I decided that I AM READY to get serious about my nutrition. I have made a lot of changes in my kitchen over the past several months  and I can honestly say that there is no junk or bad foods in my house. I switched out milk for almond milk about 6 mos ago, added more salads into my diet and chose to go organic as much as possible. I buy only cage-free organic eggs, chicken that is not jacked up on steroids and hormones and eliminated soda products altogether. Actually I also downsized the amount of coffee drinks as well. In fact I am now 4 days NO caffiene from any source to include tea.
Now don't get me wrong... the smell of coffee brewing is intoxicating, but I am commited!

Here is a before pic taken on 09/15/2014 (much to my horror of everyone seeing it... not a flattering pic AT ALL!)  I feel this is one way that will help me stay accountable to my goals and dreams. 





I know I know.... not good. But I will also be posting pics ever 30 days to show my progress.

My goal is to be a healthier me, with less poundage, to be off ALL medications, be able to exercise routinely without feeling all the wrong pains and to be here longer for my children.  A dream of mine on top of this is to travel to Europe once I have reached my goal weight. There are so many places in the world I want to see in person and other than hopping the border to Tijuana to go clubbing with my sis and friends back in the day... I have never been outside of the U.S.  Time I did!

So here I go... wish me luck and I will take any and all support, prayers and energy for this journey. 

Peace and love to you all!
