What's Your Fitlosophy

Everybody basically has their own ideas about how to eat to lose weight, exercise, and take care of their own health. Yet everyone tends to chase after or at the very least be curious about the latest and greatest diet, book, person, TV Show, products, programs, and philosophies that claim to be the magic trick  help we are looking for to change all the things we don't like about the way we look.

After 22 years of studying nutrition & fitness, I am always on the hunt for easier ways to help me do the things I firmly believe in and I definitely believe in JOURNALING everything from what I eat and drink to working out, and of course those ever exciting WEIGH days.
                        [Re-Start weight August 20th, 2011 340. Weigh-Off Nov. 30, 2011 310] =    an average of of 10 lbs a month of FAT GONE BYE BYE FOREVER! Happy Dancing going on!

So, I am always on the hunt for notebooks, journals, diaries, daily trackers, and all kinds of writing tablets to add to my endless collection that was started when I was still in elementary school. I remember my very first little palm size diary that I received for Christmas when I was 9. It was green with a little gold lock and key and I wrote all my secrets and dreams and stories in it. [I wish I still had it. what a great read especially on days when what is most needed is a HO HO HO lotta belly laughing]

My beloved Momma, such a kid at heart she always was, fed and encouraged my writing passions and continued adding to my collection every year. I still have the last one she bought me and after her death, I found more she had purchased but had yet to give me. I have added one or two since then but have not been as excited about any in particular UNTIL I LEARNED ABOUT THIS NEW DIET & FITNESS TRACKER BY FITLOSOPHY,  "Fit Book". As soon I heard about it and checked into it online, I had to go get it. Fortunately I live only 5 minutes from a Super Target Store so I was a proud owner of my very own copy of FIT BOOK within a half hour after I found out about it.

I justified the purchase with cutting 22.00 of my eating/drinking budget for the week and told myself that even the Lord would be pleased with my purchase because there is scripture to support it.
                                                     In Habakkuk 2:2-3, it says,
                                "Write the vision and make it plain on tablets that he may run
                                       who reads it for the vision is yet for an appointed time."

So, since I Re-Started my healthy living program I have been journaling it on Facebook and now here on my new official blog, but I also just really like the nostalgia of taking pencil or pen in hand and writing it all down the old fashioned way in a more personal fashion. I love modern technology as much as anybody does. I seem to be glued to my Smart Phone, Laptop, and my iPAD 2 as soon as I get it, I am sure I will be. But to me, nothing compares personally with seeing my own handwriting & my own words, on paper, with pages to turn and a book to hold in my hands and look through. I don't know how you guys feel about it but that just does it for me! I carry it with me and write down what I eat. For example here's a glimpse at my breakfast and lunch today.

So I was especially pumped up when I found about this awesome little gem of a book that helps me write down not only what I eat but also my goals, vision, plans, ideas, hopes, dreams, prayers, oh and of course all the technical and important stuff such as what I actually eat, drink, workout, weigh, and all those necessary measurements and sizes. I mean this little beauty covers it all.

It really is wonderful and because I do not want to have one all by myself, I AM GOING TO GIVE ONE OF THESE SWEET LITTLE BEAUTIES TO ONE OF YOU LUCKY READERS!
