Becoming Sea (Healthier, Fitter) Salt In 90 Days.

This is a 'Heads up' post as I prepare to embark on a 90 day journey towards being a healthier, fitter, slimmer Salt.

I call that version of me 'Sea Salt'.

I am overweight. My BMI number is not on the right side of the divide. Most importantly, I feel uncomfortable because I know that this 'temple' is not in a good enough shape for it's special occupant - My God and King. I am about to fix that starting September when I get my VI kit. You see, in the space of 11 months I have lived through the consequences of people not really taking care of themselves or being mindful of their health.  I shall not, by God's grace, put my self, my mgm or my kids through that. And with the help of  Oluwaseun Olotu-Oke and VI I will not. I encourage you to consider joining me as I embark on my Project 10 Challenge. My Goal? Lose 10kg (or more) in 90 days. Do click the link to find out more about how doing this also has the added benefit of helping a child out there.

So, below is my own version of a 'Before' picture. It is my prayer that the only thing that will be the same in my 'After' picture will be the dress! I aim to be Healthier, Fitter, Slimmer!  I won't be just Salt any longer. I will be 'Sea' Salt - 10kg lighter to the glory of God.

Blogging about my journey has two goals. One to keep me on track and accountable which means by reading this, you are my by force 'Accountability Partner'. *smiling*. And two, to challenge you to join me! Will you? Hope so. Let's 'lose it' together! 

No, we are not amused......Lol! Set to 'Lose it'.

Current Statistics:
Weight:  76kg
BMI:      27 (Yikes!)
Chest:    41 inches
Waist:   37 inches (Gulp! Healthy for women is not more than 32 inches!)
Thighs:  45 inches
Tummy: 41 inches (Thank God for Spanx!)
Arms:     13 inches (Veritable Mother in Israel arms. Lol!)

Salt to Current Statistics, I hereby inform you that, by the special grace of God, you shall be embarking on a long journey come September. One from which you shall not be returning. So enjoy your time here as you prepare for your final voyage. I mean it! Don't mess with me!

Salt to Self: OK, now, there is NO turning back! As long as Christ does not return before your Kit does, you WILL do this! So ti gbo?

Self to Salt: Mo ti gbo. Christ himself is set to help me. In Him I can do ALL things. Even this.

  3. I wish you can see me. I am laughing so hard. Good way to go. Let SALT challenge Self to action. Dream + Execution = Destiny in motion. I call forth Sea Salt in Jesus name. You can do all things through Christ Who strengthens you!!!
    Yes to being your accountability partner. No to joining you on this particular journey. I am on the other side of this race. There was a time Grace was 83kg, now Grace is making good progress to climb back to 60kg.

    See you at BMI of 23 in that gorgeous dress. Rooting for you. GraceInMotion.
