FAT LOSS TIP Living a fit lifestyle doesn't mean you can't enjoy your favorite treats every now and again, it's a part of carb cycling when eating a clean diet. Did you know that your body actually needs a break from eating clean at least once every week or so. As fitness enthusiasts like refer to it as a 'cheat' meal or 'cheating'. Prolonged dieting drops the body's leptin levels. Leptin is a hormone that helps your metabolism burn efficiently, so having in increase in carbohydrates and calories really does do the body good.

  Get Motivated to  Get in Shape Few people know that I've struggled with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome for over 20 years which was caused from having Epstein Barr and before that Rheumatic Fever when I was young. And even though I don't always feel the best I do my best to stay positive and to keep my body going strong.  I’m often asked how I stay motivated after all these years...

FITNESS MOTIVATIONAL THOUGHT OF THE DAY YOU CAN DO IT!!! Attaining the body of your dreams can, in fact, be a reality. Don't give up before you give yourself a real chance to get started. Losing weight and body transformation takes time, perseverance and fortitude.   Don’t focus on how much you want to “lose”, your subconscious doesn't like deprivation. Instead, focus on feeling “lighter” each new day. Let your body do what it does best and it will begin to burn fat rather than storing it. Take   it a day at a time, a pound a time.   Love the skin you're in. Your body is your greatest gift from above; treat it as though it were your best friend. Love it, care for it and think positively about how miraculous it is and all it does for you each new day.   Today's a new day, a new beginning of you! Relish in the joy of life by exercising and moving more today. Eat foods that God made just for us to live a vibrant, healthy life which are rich in nutrition.
