Starting To Live a Fit Life

Okay... so how many of us say we are going to lose weight, feel better, and "get fit"? I would venture to guess that mostly everyone has said this at least once in our lives. When I wanted to start on my journey of living better for myself, I had no idea where to start. There is so much out there. What is helpful and what is useless? What do I really need to know? Well... I hope this blog will help you answer these and other questions you might have about health. When I find out something new about health and diet, I will post it here. I am excited to provide this resource. 

Why do I want to get healthy? Well its pretty simple. In the Bible we are told not to give into lustful ways of the flesh but to turn from our old ways. "You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness" (Ephesians 4: 22-24). In my old way of living I gave into every urge when it came to food and I paid for it. It is very hard to break bad habits. 

But remember that you can't just break a habit without replacing it. Here are some free internet tools I use:

• BodyBuilding.com: This site provides endless resources on health and fitness. There are fitness and meal plans available. 
• Jamie Eason's LiveFit Trainer: This is a 12-week fitness and nutrition guide to help those wanting to lose weight and get tone but are new to the gym or have been away for awhile. It is good for both men and women. This is the one I have used and seen results. 

We are in this together!
