It’s been two and a half years since we moved back to the big LA, and during that time I have managed to pack on 30 lbs. That is pretty remarkable. In my mid thirties, I began working out and managed to stay fairly fit for ten years. In two years I have undone most of that.
Our business is selling healthy foods, but even with good food right in front of me, I quit paying attention to what I was eating. Bad mistake. While preparing to open the business, fast food became my friend again. And, that’s how it all began. Two and a half years later and an extra 30 pounds, I was feeling like crap. That is about to change.
Enter Facebook. A friend on Facebook commented that she was not motivated to continue her weight loss regimen. That reminded me of how I jump started my fitness and health the first time around. I entered a 90 day challenge and worked my butt off. After much back and forth, we started our own 90 day challenge, and created a Facebook group called Facebook Fat-Off. We use the board to motivate, inspire and complain. I have had several comments on the name, but hey, it is an in-your-face name for a reason. After one day, we have over 30 members, and the encouragement has already begun. The main rule of the group is NO POLITICS. Save that for your own Facebook page.
What I have learned, or re-learned, is that good nutrition takes some planning. With just a little fore-thought, eating healthy is within everyone’s reach.
Stay tuned as we talk about food, feeding your family, eating healthy and whatever comes up (except religion and politics).
Here is to eating healthy and planning what we eat!
