Happy New Year!

Did you make any resolutions?

The top 3 new years resolutions are:

1. To get out of debt
2. To spend more time with family
3. To lose weight

Are any or all of these on your list?

I can't really help you with 1. and 2. and I bet you think I am going to give you some advice on how to accomplish 3.

Well, you are wrong (kinda)

You are going to be absolutely bombarded from everyone in the fitness industry with programs and tips to help you lose weight ( I bet your inbox is overflowing already) And there are going to be some great ideas and some not-so great ideas.

My advice there: do your research, find a plan you like, grab a friend and go for it. (Remember simple is usually better and easier to stick with in the long run)

What I am going to do is tell you what works for me. I do H.I.T (High Intensity Training) 4 times a week and follow a diet of whole foods (whole grains, fruits, vegetables, lean meat), drink 2 litres of water a day and take a variety of supplements.

That's it! Very simple and very effective.

All the best in 2009 and stay healthy,
Tracy

Happy Holidays!

Here is to health and happiness in 2009!

With Age Comes Wisdom

I have just had a birthday (I am 25...again) and it was great!

But when I was little, I never used to think so.

I hated having a birthday in December for 2 reasons: As soon as December hit, all people could think about was Christmas and being born at the end of the year meant that my friends got to do everything before me.

Now I think it is wonderful, everyone is in a festive mood this time and year and I love being younger than everyone else :)

Isn't it funny how aging changes our perspective?

Like when we are younger we never think about what we eat or how often we exercise. We take our health for granted.

We get a little older and realize that we are not invincible and staying healthy may require some work on our part.

So are you younger or older?

Do something to better yourself today!

Stay Healthy,
Tracy
