Commitment Day: I took my first step to fitness.

I just enrolled in NIKE+ to start recording my mileage . Walk or run, no turning back so an orphan can be fed, educated, saved from disease, poverty and neglect. Please join me so we can create a good team that will yield fruits and keep us healthy...I do need the motivation, please click on the "Follow" link so we can get started. Thanks!

T-Shrit Design samples

This is as basic as it gets, the FOADAC logo will be on the back.

Designing the walk/run/sport T-shirt

I got a dry-ink syndrome...I am unable to come up with the words for the T-shirt. Finally I got a few to choose from:

1. I am walking to save an orphan

2. Feed and orphan walk

3. Walk for the orphaned, abandoned and disabled African Child -WALK4FOADAC

Then the usual:

4. Fitness For FOADAC

5. Train and save an African orphan

6. Support an orphan as you walk, run or bike

Let me know which one you like or if a combination or 2 or more. No logo problems since the original FOADAC logo will go on each T-shirt.

Great Idea

This is a great idea. What a way to help the needy and help yourself at the same time.

The walk or sport to reduce 2 dress sizes begins...

My dear friend Addy, suggested that the dress size goal is a good one because it is more realistic. I agree with her and will start walking as soon as I get the walk T-shirts designed. Remember, all walks or fitness projects should raise awareness or funds.
Back to my little Sis - Dr. Nabila, how about that pedometer or Nike running shoes that logs your mileage online as you walk or run??? That's a tall order, I know...
My goal will be something like 500 miles in 1 year at $1 a mile that raises $500. Can you imagine if I had just 10 followers with the same goal, we would collectively raise at least $5,000 in a year for the orphans. And the best part - maintain a healthy lifestyle and dress size to die for!

Look for a fitness project

Please help me out here:
What should the theme be? Any ideas on what we should use as the first fitness project?
I am considering the following, let me know what you think or can add to:
1. reduce 2 dress sizes
2. loose xlbs in one year
3. train for a marathon in 7 months...LOL!

How can I help a child in need?

I was thinking of starting a walk to raise funds and awareness for the orphans of FOADAC and came about blogging my walk progress. Then it occurred to me that the walk does not have to be just an event but a way of life as I have been struggling with my weight since giving birth to my beautiful Nina and Bryce.
The other day I asked my fitness-trainer baby sister, Nabila to spear-head the project for me...
My vision is to stay fit and recruit many friends and family to join any fitness program of their choice that will not only benefit their health but raise some very needed funds to feed the orphans, cloth and educate them.
Walkers, runners, cyclists, bikers or lovers of any form of exercise and fitness are welcome to enroll, all we need is your zeal to stay fit for an honorable cause.
