Greetings everyone!

Hello everyone!

Welcome to Nubian Nerdy Fit Girl! This is my first time blogging and I'm excited what experiences I'll have with this website. Nubian Nerdy Fit Girl is about my journey as an early 20's college student trying to get into the best shape of her life. While I've made much progress in my year long journey, there's so much I need to learn about health and fitness. However I want to share what I've learned and the thing I will learn with you! I want this blog to grow as I grow. My goal is to have inspire my readers and be inspired by them.

I understand how hard it is for college-aged girls to maintain a healthy lifestyle. We're constantly eating at the dining hall, fast food restaurants, Waffle Houses (if you've never experienced the greatness that is Waffle House, you need to), and not to mention drinking all the red bulls, sugary coffees, sodas and alcohol. The combination of those food and drink items with the lack of exercise and sleep leads to excessive weight gain. No wonder we experience the freshman, sophomore, junior and senior 15! And it's extremely hard to lose the weight and keep it off because all of those bad foods and drinks are cheap and easily accessible. I constantly battled my weight in college, but I found a way to lose weight and maintain weight loss that works for students on a budget.

So why is the name Nubian Nerdy Fit Girl? Where did it come from? Well I'm so glad you asked! At first, the name of the blog was going to be Nappy Nerdy Fit Girl because I have natural hair, I'm a nerd and I love fitness. I changed it to Nubian because I recently read that Wonder Woman has a black twin sister named Nu'Bia. Therefore, Nu'Bia is also Wonder Woman, she shares the same powers and was made of the same clay as Diana Prince (Wonder Woman). Wonder Woman is my inspiration, even though she's a fictional character, she's exactly how I want to be: strong, assertive, beautiful, intelligent with an awesome body. She's an equal partner to Batman and Superman, two of the most popular heroes in comic books, heroes that most boys/men want to be. So when I found out about Nu'Bia, I was ecstatic! There's a Wonder Woman who looks like ME! She had the dark skin, the wild kinky hair, and all the characteristics of the original Wonder Woman.

There's a Wonder Woman in all of us. She may be a fictional character, but to be honest, she shows that women are a force to be reckoned with. We are super heroes!! So that's why I changed the name to Nubian Nerdy Fit Girl. This is why I started this blog, and I can't wait until we find our inner Wonder Woman.

Hope you're looking forward to the next post, I certainly am.

Until next time,

The Nubian Nerdy Fit Girl
