What are you eating?

To start off any new attempt at regaining our health and wellness we must take a realistic look at what we are putting into our bodies. Remember, FOOD is FUEL and ENERGY. What type of fuel or energy are you putting into your body? Is it healthy and nutritious, thus, allowing our bodies to perform at their best and most efficient capabilities? Or are we filling ourselves with "fake" energy, fatty nutrients, sweets and comfort foods that stick around and get comfortable on our waists, hips, bellies and thighs? If the later, you've probably noticed that you have no energy at all or that its up and down all day long. ----- To find out what you are REALLY eating, for AT LEAST 3 days to a week, WRITE down everything you eat and drink and if you're willing, write down the calories as well. I promise this will be the biggest eye-opener to what you are actually eating for fuel. Once you recognize what your real food choices are you will be more willing to start making improvements. ----- For some basics on what and how much you SHOULD be eating, go to www.mypyramid.gov This is the USDA's site for basic nutrition info. Good luck with your food log, if anything it might keep you from eating that donut just because you wont want to write it down! :)

Time Change

We'll be bumping our workout time back to 8:30 for the next few weeks, so hooray we get to sleep in a little longer! Those who may be looking for a "bootcamp" to boost their workout experience can join me at 7 am at the Utah Baseball Academy with personal trainers, Tim Misewicz and Dori Madsen. For this month of February they'll be focusing our workouts in the weightroom and teaching us how to properly use the equipment as well as a variety of lifts to be able to broaden our weightroom horizons. Its only $29 for the month, but these trainers are usually $100 a session, so we're pretty lucky they're helping us out with their vast knowledge and experience in helping people reach their goals. Let me know if you want more info., but we'll hopefully for sure see you Saturday at 8:30.

How is your Fitness Resolution coming?

The end of January is already upon us that means its time to check how we are doing on our goals for the New Year. Hopefully you're still on track, kind of on track or are going to get back on track! Wherever you're at, now is a good time to re-evaluate to find out what is working and what is holding you back, make an adjustment and push ahead to the next point of your goal. Our little fitness group has doubled its numbers at our Saturday morning workouts and I hope we'll continue to grow and help each other get healthier and happier! Speaking of Saturday the 30th, we'll be meeting at the same time, 8 am, and same place, church on 2700 w surrey rd (5735 s) for another great workout. Bring your spouse, bring a friend, a neighbor, anyone who is looking for a little boost in their fitness they are all welcome! Hope to see you then! -- If you need help with your goals I'd be happy to help:)
