Healthy new me to be, any advice

by anxiousmomtobe?, Nov 16, 2006 12:00AM
Hello,

I am just about to turn 40 and have started on a new fit lifestyle.  I am 25 pounds overweight, but am not focussing on that.

Right now I am doing 30 minutes of cardio 4 x a week and weight training 2-3 times per week.

On the days I do not do cardio I am taking the dog for a power walk (so far he is the only one to lose weight)

I am NOT dieting.  I think the word is evil.  I am trying to eat healthy, no transfats, no refined suger (reading all labels) and complex carbs.  Oh and lean protein.

This is not a quick weight loss program, I am trying to change my thinking.  I am an active person, camping, hiking, canoeing.  I had two mc this year and medicated myself heavily with chocolate.  

Any advice?

I already have more energy, and that includes the days I hit the gym at 5:30am.  

What do you folks think of YOU ON A DIET.?  It's by the doctors who wrote YOU, AN OWNERS MANUAL.
