turning 25 looking back to analyze what im doin different now then last year. exercising my mind and treatin it more like a muscle instead of just fat and protein. Ive been trying to get into good habits in terms of what i take in my body & mind. I stopped drinking from jan. 1 and made it to about april 22nd when i was reminded of one of the reasons i stopped. I went from 260 to 238 which was my goal before my 25th. I eat red meat sparingly and have replaced it with chicken and fish. I must admit i have a lot more energy in comparison and havent been sick since around thanksgiving knock on wood. I heard that expression was coined because it is said that if u knock on wood the devil wont hear ur unwise comments. But yea keeping this routine will def. help with my brains "muscle memory" to a point where it hopefully looks as if it was innate... .......................
Hopefully this blog will help me document my growth. I love reminicing and comparing because i think history is so important and shapes wat we do present day. When we have a sense of who we are its almost like we are able too look back into our future. I remember me and my best Dan started looking into the sankofa bird and what it stands for years ago. Its a symbol originated in Ghana. i think there are two versions. The symbol im referring to is a pic of a bird with its head turned backwards taking an egg off its back. It symbolizes "one taking from the past what is good and bringing it into the present in order to make positive progress through the benevolent use of knowledge".(encyclopidia britannica book)
