The Fit and Fabolous SOB

Prevention is the key to anything. So start taking care of yourself—whatever
that means to you.

There are guidelines to everything. Information for mammograms, colonoscopies,
standard blood tests, calorie amounts, and types of exercise are so numerous,
I don’t need to go over them here. What I do need to do is highlight the fact
that you must practice utilizing what’s out there so you can lead a FIT AND
FABULOUS life.

Unfortunately, no one can motivate you but yourself. It’s up to you to
surround yourself with the items and people who will help you pursue the
kinds of things that produce fitness and wellness.
Let’s talk about image first. Fortunately or unfortunately, people form an
impression of you the first 30 seconds they meet you. You can spend the rest
of your life trying to change it or just make the right one immediately. When
you are fit, your clothes look good on you, you carry yourself with style and
panache, and people are attracted to you. It doesn’t matter if you’re a size
4 or 16—it matters what you think of yourself.

It’s awful than 3500 calories equals one pound. It’s not fair that although it
takes forever to lose the one pound, just by looking at that piece of
chocolate, you gain it right back. We know that isn’t really true even though
it seems like it. Basically this means that if you want to lose weight you
have to eliminate 3500 calories a week from your diet to lose one pound and
if you want to gain weight, eat an additional 3500 calories in that same week

Although certain foods are burned up faster than others, you need to find out
what works for you. You may even need to get a personal trainer or
nutritionist to help you.

With exercise, you lose inches, not pounds. Your metabolism will increase and
circulation improve. It doesn’t matter what you do as long as you do
something. Choose what you enjoy, not what you hate. You know your body the
best.

The three key points to being fit and fabulous are:
Mental—this has to do with assertiveness and attitude Physical—this has to do
with diet and exercise Spiritual—this has to do with image, appearance and
conduct.

You may not list them in that order and think they have all those components,
but believe me, they are all part of it. No matter what you do, unpleasant
experiences come into your life. How and what you do daily allows you to cope
with the disasters and enjoy the highs.
