Health and Fittness



I have two loves in life. I love fitness always have, and I love good tasting food. I have a passion for finding different foods to try. It's even more fun when they are healthy. I have always loved fitness. I have always been a runner.

I have always been obsessed with losing weight. I am bothered with my size constantly. I know I am strong. I know I can just pick up and go run five miles easily but it still bothers me that I am not "skinny". In fact I am considered overweight by the numbers on the scale. It is super hard for me to lose weight. When I did count calories I was able to lose quite a bit of weight. The problem, the weight that I would lose in six months would come back in 2 months if I didn't continue counting my calories. I didn't want to be on a diet anymore and counting calories is such a pain. When I would go over by even 10 calories I would feel super guilty. It wasn't healthy. Now I know some people can count calories and it's very successful for them and they swear by it. That's awesome. For me it doesn't work. I become to obsessive. With that said though I am glad I did it for a time. It taught me a lot about portion sizes and that is helping me now.
I have taken on a new Theme for myself.
It's the theme above:
Forget about getting skinny. Eat well and excercise and the weight will take care of itself.
Now my brain is still struggling to remember this but I do believe this whole heartedly.
I have been lifting weights for four weeks now. I just finished my first phase and the change is more than when I was losing a lot of weight in one month. The other thing is that I have gained so much muscle.
Gals remember muscle burns more calories than fat.
