Overweight Person: The problem is, obesity runs in my family.

Have you guys caught the story of Annette Larkins? She’s 70 yrs old and looks AMAZING! She eats super clean foods and only drinks water and fresh juices. Check out the difference between her and her husband (who chose not to eat clean foods with her). It’s kinda insane. What an inspiration! Now you guys can understand why I believe nutrition is everything.
P.S. She started at 40...

When You're Feeling Down..
Eat This:
Salmon: Omega-38 may calm your neurotic side, according to a study in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine. Researchers found that adults with the lowest blood levels of EPA and DHA were more likely to have neuroses, which are symtoms for depression.

NEW GOAL!!!
My newest, and longest term goal is to reach my UGW, or at least the 160s, by my 21st birthday!! I’ll be 21 on Aug 26th, which gives me a good 6 months, including the month of August. Even if I lose 3lbs each month, I’ll hit 169 by the end of August, but my goal is to lose 4lbs each month and then I’ll hit 163! Whooo, I have a lot of hard work ahead of me!!!

Top of The Morning!
I woke up at 7:15 this morning to make it to what I thought would be a kickboxing class at 8. To my surprise, the class I was in line for was a Step class, and the kickboxing class is actually on Weds. I’ve taken Step classes before and I didn’t really like them, but today was a different story! I really enjoyed the class and the instructor. We did aerobic exercises on the step for...

So Far So Good
So far this week is going well. I know it’s only Monday, but starting off the week right is important. I ran for 30 minutes on the treadmill and even ran at 6.0 for about 7 minutes. When I first started running on the treadmill, I could only manage 12-15 mins at 5.0. It’s nice to see the progress I’m making!!
Does anyone else feel like they’re gliding instead of walking...

What's Really in a Fast-Food Hamburger?
It comes from a cow, yes, but before being stuffed into the bun of a Whopper or Big Mac, fast-food hamburger patties pass through the hands of a company called Beef Products. The company specializes in taking slaughterhouse trimmings traditionally used only in pet food and cooking oil and turning them into patties. The challenge is getting this by-product meat clean enough for human consumption,...

I went back to the Cardio...

Light Bulb
I just finished logging my food for the day into myfitnesspal, and I realized I need to eat better. That PB & J doesn’t look so bad in the picture, but trust me, the calorie count isn’t worth it. And I can’t keep eating a piece of cake, or ice cream, or a red velvet cupcake every other day. I need to stick to the soups, salads, and other low-calorie foods. I need to go to the...
