I have been looking into nutriton a lot lately. That is an important subject to incorporate when
you are on a diet. what you eat greatly effects how your weight loss can happen. One thing I
learned is that carbs are great! diets like the akans diet don't really work. you end up losing
weight but then you have less energy. Diet pills are a big thing to. All of the diet pills that are
only 20 or 30 dollars probably wont work. In order to get high levels of the hoodia or the
Phenhermine you need to purchase pills that are 175. I looked up the slimquick that my mom
started to take and it has such low levels of the green tea extract and the hoodia that she probably
wont lose any weight, all that pill does is give you lots and lots of energy and serpress you
hunger. You need to eat healthy to lose weight if you don't eat at all you body holds on to
whatever it gets. Say all you have one day is a sandwich your body will hold on to the fat in that
sandwich and store it because thetas all you are giving it. So it is more than just working out, you
also need to eat healthy; however, if you must take diet pills at lest get the good ones.

How to get that amazing feeling!
The working out process is hard, you need a lot of Stanima to keep going. One time my fitness partner and myself
decided to push our selves as hard as we can. It was a sunny day just a few weeks ago and we went to golden gardens
it is a beach in north Seattle. We started at the end of the peer and started to run, at first it was easy. We didn’t do
much talking. About twenty minutes in to it my work out pal Crystal wanted to take a break. I told her, “No! come on
were almost there,” but we weren’t. Sometimes you need to lie to yourself in order to keep going. So we kept going
strong running our hearts out in the sand. Have you ever ran in sand? If not it is so hard! When we finally were half
way threw we stopped for a stretch break. It was the most amazing experience of my life the cold water dripped
down my face and the streaching were so wonderful on my exhausted legs. We continued on with the run this time it
was way hard! We were tired and just wanted to quit but we continued going. Sweating are little hearts out we turned
into a cool down jog three quarters of the way. We looked at echother and laughed because are faces were beat red.
When we came to the tall tress that we marked as are finish we fell to the sand in exhaustion. After a few minutes of
laying there we got itchy, due to the sand. So we took off are running shoos and ran into the cool calm ocean. It was
a wonderful was to spend a strenuous work out. Just remember to keep going when you Finnish the feeling is
AMAZING.

Lower Abs! Whoooo YEEEAAAH!
So I will describe some workouts that help me with parts of my body I want to tone.
So one trouble spot people come across would be the lower abs, sit ups don’t normally focus on that peculiar area. If you go and buy a bouncy ball just a little one for 94 cents it can really help. You sit it on your lower back above your butt and basically rite on your tail bone; you hold it there and do sit ups on it. It’s pretty hard you have to try and balance, but once you have your balance it’s a great work out! Just do four counts of eight and be sure to suck your stomach in also known as your core. I will refer to it as that often it is so important to have a strong core! Most of the time when people have week abs it leads to back problems later in life so if you have back problems chances are you have week abs, and that just sucks. Also don’t for get to breath most of the time when people work out they don’t really breath there way threw it they hold their breath when it’s strenuous.
Another good work out for your lower abs would be to get a set of dumbbells, I personally use five pounders but you can get whatever fits you. Take the dumbbells and hold them tight under your legs pinching them with your knees. Then do sit ups like that, the extra weight on your legs causes you stomach to retract tighten your abs more. I would say do however many it takes for your stomach to burn like its on fire…. Then do ten more!
After that you can take the weight and put your legs straight in the air and hold the weight in between your legs. You take the other weight and hold it in your hands, then move your legs towards your hands. Don’t cheat and put your hands to your legs your goal is to try and get your lower back off the ground to work out your lower abs.
(If you have any questions about muscle groups that you would like to know a work out to focus on that group just ask chances are I will know of something to help you out.)

A little intro
So pretty much one day I was bored and decided I needed a hobby, it looked like I could lose some weight so I started to exercise and I fell in love with it. I am now four months into the process and have lost 14 pounds.. My routine consist of work out videos, walks, and a healthy diet. I Stoped eating fast food and anything woth to much grece. I also count calories and consume the healthy 3000 a day. Now it's not so much about loosing weight because am at a healthy weight for my height, so now I focus is more on tone which is why I called this blog working on my fitness.
I want to tone my body and be in the best shape of my life. This has become a hobby of mine, my friend of 5 years Crystal and I have done this together and gotten this far. This is probably the only thing we haven’t quit at : ) we motivate eachother like no ones business and make sure that we do this the healthy way there is so many bad habits that most girls fall into when trying to get in shape, and we don't want to do that so its nice the support.
My intentions for this blog is to document my progress and talk about what it is that works for me to get in shape. Now everyone is different so don't expect what works for me to work for you but consider it more of a gide line. I want to motivate people to lose weight so my readers can be any one that is considering getting healthy.
