I have a confession to make, I have not been working out our eating they way that I should have been. I am disappointed in myself, but I'm not giving up. The most important thing you need to do when you fall down is to get back up and try again and that is what I am doing starting today!
I am renovating my lifestyle not dieting! In order to be healthy you must think healthy and this starts with what you eat on a regular basis. Being healthy is a mental challenge and requires you make your mind over. So I made my mind over to make a change!
I went back to bootcamp at Fab Body Factory tonight and now I know how far off the path I have gone! So I am lacing up my Nike's and setting new goals. Each small step forward is a victory and with the support I will receive from the wonderful group of women referred to as "TeamFabBody", I know I will succeed! Our team is led by Deanna Jefferson (a wonderful trainer) and her terrific assistant Nicole Gardner (who is a killer with the ab routines). These ladies put together routines that are challenging but get you results and they cheer you on to make it to the end of each part of the workout. Now that is motivational!
I am pumped and ready to go! I know I may not be pumped to do too much moving in the morning but NO PAIN, NO GAIN!

July Quote of the Month
Ability is what you're capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it. -Lou Holtz
So when it comes to living a healthier lifestyle, what are you capable of doing? The response should be anything you put your mind to. ALL of us are capable of making healthier choices regarding what we eat and devoting at least three days to exercising. That's all it takes to improve the quality of your life! So when you are REALLY ready to get into shape you will start the process by deciding it's time to start your own fitness journey. Once you do that you will take all the needed steps and make ALL of the necessary adjustments to make it happen. IT'S JUST THAT SIMPLE. When you decide it's time you will commit to do WHATEVER it takes to achieve your goal and nothing will stand in your way. You will have the motivation you need because you decided to JUST DO IT!

Loose the Muffin Top
Are you trying to get rid of stubborn belly fat? Are you trying to get your body back after having a baby? Are you ready to get rid of that middle-aged spread around your waistline? Well it's time to loose that muffin top so that you can live a better and longer life! Not only will you look better when it's gone, but you will fel better and you'll sleep better at night!
Most women believe that just doing cardio will get rid of stubborn belly fat but MUCH MORE is needed! While 3-4 cardio sessions should be a part of your weekly exercise routine, you also need to include strength training at least twice a week. Ladies, MUSCLE BURNS FAT! Most men feel that all they need to do is to lift weights to get in shape, but you also need to incorporate cardio into your exercise routine 3-4 times a week in 30 minute intervals as well. And everyone needs to watch what they eat!
To loose 1 lb a week you need to burn 3,500 more calories per week than you eat. This is the equivalent of 500 calories PER DAY. So it would be advantageous for you to keep a food log and actually track what you are putting into your mouth. But be sure you are eating no less than 1,200 calories per day minimum. Also be sure to eat every 2-3 hours (3 meals and two snacks) daily, drink lots of water, and eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables and NO ALCOHOL. Alcohol has a high caloric value, empty calories. Your body also converts alcohol to body fat very easily so it's not the best choice if you're trying to lower your body fat.
So remember these tips to get you on the road to losing that muffin top:
