The past several years, I have had very poor eating habits....lots of binging on high calorie carbos and sugar products.
Since beginning my new fitness for life program in March, I have combined my regular boot camp attendance with sound nutrition - a WINNING COMBINATION.
Mary Beth Gonzales, one of the co-owners of AlaVie Fitness, helped me structure a nutritional and yummy eating plan, which has been very easy to stick with.
The plan consists of fruits, vegetables, and proteins. I also eat whole grains. I try to stay away from any refined grain products, such as white flours, pastas, etc. Of course, I do eat those from time to time, as total elimination of these "desired" items, would not work well for me. In the long run, I would feel deprived, and probably end up eating too much of them! My plan is just to stick with my sensible plan 99.9% of the time, and then occasionally, have the "desired" item, in a sensible portion.
Since starting this program on March 17, 2008, I have found that my entire outlook on eating and food has changed for the better. I am aware of the food I put in my mouth and make much better choices. When I find myself reaching for that "thing I shouldn't eat", I catch myself...and 99.9% of the time, I decide NOT TO EAT IT. The other 1%, I take a small taste of whatever I want, but that's it! I seem to have lost the desire to stuff myself with food. Instead, I eat food when my body needs it and feed my body the type of foods it needs to feel strong and healthy.
Regular fitness, good nutrition, and GREAT RESULTS, are the motivating factors in sticking with my new lifestyle!
Since starting AlaVie PowerVie Boot Camp on March 17, 2008, I have lost 50 POUNDS! That's right! Today, I weighed in at 175 pounds!!
