Baby Steps of an introduction:

I have been told numerous times by bosses that I am one of the most unlucky people ever seen.  A former supervisor once told me, “Kamilah, I wish I had three more people like you, and I would be a success.”   So why am I NOT a success?

I have some idea as to why I am not a success: I am not mentally lazy, but physically… I need help.  I excel in academics because Geek-dom is where I am most comfortable and it runs in my family.  Physically speaking…  I have a tendency to run out of motivation after maybe about a month.  So that’s me in a nutshell.  I am a self- proclaimed nerd trying and failing year after year to be something else.  That something else you ask is to be a fitness model!

Yes, beneath my neurotic, over-achieving nonchalance exterior is a fitness model trying, waiting and begging God for help, and after whining and complaining and praying, the Universe saw it fit to say, “Here you big baby!  Now what?!”  And this is where you find me; on the brink of a new world and a new life…  Now what?

It started with a phone call:

 

The Call

From out of the blue, is a phone call from an old friend and my cousin, or at least I thought she was a friend, until she never called and after years of grappling with the why, I realized, she was just a quiet person.  Anyway, we hadn’t spoken in dude-man-dog-years, which is code for, “several lifetimes” or fifteen years, give or take.  We all have friend like that: people in whom time and space are meaningless because their heart and loyalty have been forged from methril, anumantium, vibranium, love, and compassion.  As the conversation progressed we that she would offer me her services as a personal trainer and life coach, and I would blog it for the world.

Okay…  I have a heard about blogging from the television, when I saw the movie, Julie and Julia, but what I am going to say?  Who wants to read about my crazy, journey into fitness?  Talking this over with my boyfriend of eight years, Lance, he said, “Who wanted to read, about a lady learning to cook from a cookbook?  Everyone!  So, because you like to write all the time, and you already working on songwriting, why not give this a try as well?  I dare you!”  I responded like any sane person would, “WHAT! You don’t know me son! What!? What?! I got you!  It’s on!”  (Yes, we are that kind of couple: awesome!) 

So there you have it, my long story as short and un-jumbled as I could unravel it.  All of this is what I consider to be my past, now I am heading toward my future: fitness model glory with my Metamorphose Trainer, Abui Beckley by my side!  Onward!!
