I will tell you what I'm doing right now though and will let you know how it turns out. <br /><br /> I believe that weight is controlled by diet and form (tone) and fitness is controlled by exercise. <br /><br />My newest lifestyle habit is buying and eating "real" food. Meaning food that is not processed, refined or packaged. (ie: lots of fruits and veggies, eggs, grains,beans, whole grain products etc) I've cut back completely on everything plastic at the grocery store and it helps with what we have on hand at home to make. I've started a food log, cut snacks down in size and still try to eat a balance of protein / carbs and good fats with every meal.<br /><br />As for exercise, I'm going to come right out and say that initially, I don't think it really matters what you do, whether it be a class or a run or weights as long as it's incorporated into your everyday lifestyle, as long as your body is moving. <br /><br />My motto these days is control the diet, fit in the exercise. Diet and exercise, sounds so simple, doesn't it? It's frigg'n hard and a complete challenge but once the new habits are formed, results will follow. There is no quick-fix. Never has been, never will be. Control the diet, fit in the exercise. Come on....chant with me.....ummmmmmmm.<br />Namaste.<br /><br />I'll cheer for you if you cheer for me also!!!!Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02340408935446369317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1450781927507277917.post-6991033191203011902009-09-04T06:24:57.315-07:002009-09-04T06:24:57.315-07:00Again...we're so much alike. I never ever had...Again...we're so much alike. I never ever had a problem with my weight until the last two years. Apparently I like my wine and cheese too much. I've begun entering everything I eat into Sparkpeople.com and it helps hold me accountable. I'm working hard to be more consistent about going to the gym or working out at home if I can't get there. My favorite class is BodyFlow. It's fabulous for lean muscle development.<br /><br />Anyway, I'll cheer for you if you cheer for me. Deal?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
