Fit vs. Fat

So many of us assume the pretty thin girl over there must be in good shape or that fat man over yonder must be out of shape.  When the opposite could be true.  It's true, you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, and neither should you judge someones outward appearance on their health.  I know lots of people who are large in stature and physically fit and other's who are thin and couldn't climb a stair case to save their lives.  That being said, STOP making your life's focus on losing weight.  Instead focus on eating more fruits, veggies, lean protein, and whole grains.  Focus on getting your body stronger so you can run around with your loved ones, no matter your age.  That which you focus on grows.

But how, how do you get started?  Start now.  Go for a 10 minute walk before dinner, it actually helps suppress appetite, eat a dinner of food full of vitamins and minerals, the more colorful your food, the more vitamins and minerals in the food.  And no I don't mean food coloring.  About 30 minutes after dinner do your body a favor and go for a 30 minute walk.  Don't eat anything else after dinner, just let your body work on breaking your dinner up into a molecular level to help your body do what your body is meant to do.  Be sure to drink plenty of water, sit back and enjoy the sunset.

Try something new... BBQ Pizza

Search for my Whole Grain Pizza Dough and instead of baking it in the oven, get your grill hot, roll our the dough (about 4-6 balls rolled out per recipe) cook one side for about 2 minutes (watch it carefully so it doesn't burn) then take it off the grill and put your ingredients on the cooked size, then grill the pizza uncooked side down,  for about 5 minutes.  It's scrumdidlyumtious!  Just a tip... don't load the pizza's with a lot of ingredients or they won't cook and make sure your veggies are sliced thin.  Let me know what you thought.
