Fitness Nutrition

In recent years there has been a lot more information available on fitness nutrition and this has helped many more people improve their levels of health considerably.

As more people become aware of fitness nutrition they can see substantial gains in muscle tone and strength, and the reduction of fat levels by applying the information that is freely available on fitness nutrition throughout the many different health publications.

With the high incidence of diabetes in the country due to poor fitness, nutrition and eating habits more people are aware of the high cost that is being paid for the reduced quality of life that an imbalance in fitness nutrition and food consumption causes.

The authorities are trying to bring a greater awareness for fitness nutrition in the hope that people will take on board this advice and improve their levels of health and in doing so reduce the burden on society.

Most gyms now offer advice on fitness nutrition as part of the membership as this can help you improve your levels of fitness quite considerably.

The Path To A New Me

This is the first time that I have actually written in a blog. Its kind of hard to put on feelings in print so if it seems like I'm rambling on sometime then please forgive me.

First of all the burning question is Why? Why? Because I don't want to end up having heart bypass surgery like my father just did. I know it was scary for him but it scared the hell out of me just watching him go through it. I have always been overweight and it takes stuff like this to make people have a reality check. This did it for me. I want to be around for my kids. I want to set the right example for them. I have tried this so many times before but all the time I have failed. Not this time. Through my stubborness and my will to do this, I WILL suceed. I lost 30 lbs. a year and half ago and I lost my motivation. I overdid it with the exercise. I went to fast in such a short amount of time.

I was 196 lbs a week a go and now I'm down to 190. I walk a mile on the treadmill daily and I watch everything I eat. I have cut down on the sodium. I have become a label reader. I look at everything now. I have found a great tool to exercise with, my portable dvd player with my favorite singer's album in it, Elliott Yamin. I have a great support system now in my husband and my fil. They are willing to help me out. In fact my fil just went to the doctor and he has lost 6 1/2 lbs. GREAT NEWS!! My hubby can eat and eat and never gains weight. This morning he switched from adding sugar to his coffee to using splenda. That was hard for him to do but he did it to help me out. I do all the cooking here at home so I am trying to cook healthier meals. With patience and will power I will do this!
