Im back!

Im bbbbaaacckkk!! Its been awhile since i have been on here. Our family has been taking the last several months to get settled into a new home, in a small town, in a different state. Needless to say it has been an adjustment for all of us.
Recently I started up training again and have been doing fitness classes two times a week. I am hoping this will lead to some more training possibly even one on one training.
My own training is going well. I have set a new goal for myself and working hard to reach it. Look for more post on that in the future!!

Change

For a good part of the day I hear people say " Im not seeing results, my body is not changing the way I want it to..." Most people dont see changes due to their diet or lack of change from the exercise routine. First of all diet is key, I would say even more so than exercise although you need both! You can not continue eating fast food, foods high in sugar, etc and expect results. Many of you may have heard the saying "abs are made in the kitchen" I strongly agree. Take out the soda, fatty foods, sugar, sweets and replace with water, veggies, fruit etc and watch what happens. Second get off the treadmill and do something different! Try a lifting session, try some different cardio equipment. Not sure where to start? Ask people at your local gym that is what they are there for. Hire a trainer, it is their job to help mix things up, push you and motivate you. The internet and book stores are filled with books and magazines to help you get started. Challenge your body, push yourself a little more and you will start to see changes. Remember change does not happen over time. Be patient, believe in yourself and never be afraid to ask for help!

are you getting enough sleep?

Ran across an article about the correlation between sleep and weight loss. Research has shown that if you are not getting enough sleep each night it will interfere with your weight loss. University of Chicago study said, "failure to get 8.5 hours of sleep per night resulted in weight gain and difficulty maintaining a healthy weight due to hormonal changes that lead to an increased craving for carb rich foods."
They reported those with sufficient amount of sleep were the least hungry. For myself when I am tired and needing sleep I crave foods that are bad for me. Think about all the times you have gone out with friends coming home at 1 or 2 in the morning, you are usually hungry and usually hungry for junk. For me it was always french fries.
So try to maintain a sleep schedule, if you cant get 8.5 in try for 7 hours of sleep. When you stay consistent your body will become more efficient. Have a great Saturday!
