588 Days! Balancing Act of Faith, Family, & Finding Time for ME

by Lorraine Muhammad

Overview

I believe in the Golden Rule that says, "Do unto others as you would have done unto you!" Another similar saying that has been taught to me via The Honorable Elijah Muhammad and the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan is, "You should want for your Brother or Sister what you want for yourself!"

I did not write this book out of vanity or the pursuit of fame and fortune. Quite the contrary! My goal for writing this book is to inspire women, mothers,youth, or anyone else that is embarking, or wishes to embark, on their own journey towards better health and weight.

I am by no means a professional trainer or one that has a degree in medicine but what I do have is faith, a strong will, dedication, and personal experience on my side.

We all need help and support in finding ourselves and becoming healthier. Consider me as that friend or sister that is here to help you, not to hinder you. I will be that friend we all need that will tell you the truth about yourselves and what you are going through. I'm not here to sugar coat the details and aspects of a health/weight loss journey. I am here to share my experiences and help you with your own personal journey.

Throughout this book, I will help you to face your fears, deal with your present and past, challenge you to take it to the next level, and praise you for your successes. Additionally, I will give you a glimpse into my life and share with you my joys, pains, sorrows, triumphs, challenges, and rewards.

Come on and get ready for some "tough" love. We are about to commence the journey of a lifetime. Are you ready to meet the New YOU?

About the Author

I am over 40 years of age. I've been married to my husband for nearly 17 years. During those 17 years, we've been blessed with 6 beautiful children.



In addition to being a wife and mother, I am a full-time Manager in an Information Technology Departmnet, a teacher of our children, and a community volunteer.



I am active in the Nation of Islam and have served as a mentor to our community youth via the Boys & Girls Club – Bloomington/Normal®, and Mentoring and Providing Scholarships (M.A.P.S.)® for high school seniors. Additionally, I am a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated® and Jack and Jill of America Incorporated®.



I truly enjoy time with my family, children, and friends, although time doesn't always permit me to do all I want and need to get accomplished. Occasionally, I might find a minute or two to spend some time with myself and obtain some quiet time. Like I said, occasionally!



You may ask, "How did she find the time to start and stay on my weight loss
journey?" Simple…I MADE the time!



In the midst of my journey, Allah (God) put it on my heart to share my experience with others who are also struggling with the journey toward better health.



I authored my first book entitled 588 Days! Balancing Act of Faith, Family, & Finding Time for ME. It is my prayer something I've experienced on my own journey would benefit and inspire others on their pursuit toward better health.
