My Why..

My name is Alicia Lantia Roark and I am on a mission.  I've lost too many of my biological family members to Cardiovascular disease.  They died young, way too young.

I am bound and determined to NOT be a statistic of my biological family's history of heart disease.  Journeying along with me will be my cousinsPamela Mainer Dannelley and Stacy Williams.  They too have had to attend one too many funerals.  Heart disease is real and it can take you at any moment.  Well, I'm STANDING UP to this MONSTER and saying NO MORE!  I REFUSE to be a statistic.  As my cousin Lisa Legendere Lantia says, "Girl, we gotta take care of these temples God gave us!"  I just love her! She's precious!

Here are a couple of resources we'll be using on this blog:

1.  www.skimble.com (download this app, it's where we'll be exercising from)

2.  http://www.heart.org/HEARTORG/GettingHealthy/NutritionCenter/Recipes/Recipes_UCM_001184_SubHomePage.jsp?gclid=CNCtysGGsLwCFRPxOgodAUYAIw#mainContent

3.  The book "Reshaping It ALL" by Candace Cameron Bure.  http://shop.candacecameronbure.net/product/reshaping-it-all-motivation-for-physical-and-spiritual-fitness

It's day one!  I've already worked out.  So now it's just time to eat right and do it in moderation.  One thing that Candace Cameron Bure suggests and it does work "Eat until you're satisfied not full." 

So today here are our two challenges:

1.  Do Beginner Workout on Skimble.com

2.  Eat until your satisfied and not full

DRINK LOTS OF WATER IN BETWEEN!  It helps!

Thanks for journeying with me and my cousins!  We appreciate it!

In Loving Memory of:

1.  Clovis Paul Lantia-Dad (Passed away at 52 yrs old)
2.  Wanda Louise Hebert Lantia-Mom (Passed away at 48)
3.  Paul Joseph Lantia-Brother (Passed away at 48 1-21-14)

Remembering Joey,

Alicia Lantia Roark
