A Fitter, Firmer, Self-esteem

A Fitter, Firmer, Self-esteem

Good Day Sweet people!

Today I am going to enlighten your minds with another unique
topic

that will enhance your positive self-esteem. It’s about getting
fitter

and firmer and healthier, which brings on more natural feelings
of

high self-esteem.

For the past few months I have been busy researching and
putting

together tons of information and much needed facts about the
female

body. This will be a new section to womensselfesteem.com, I hope
you

enjoy it.

As for my article today I am going to tease your mind a bit with
what I have done in the fitness area. I am working hard on
simplifying the

information that is out there. Through-out the years of
frequenting

gyms, running, cycling and racket sports, I have had the
pleasure to

meet and learn from many trainers and fitness instructors. I
have done

my best to share with you a few thoughts to peak your interest.

Remember ladies, this is one of the best self-esteem tips I can
bring

to you.

I have simplified the “dieting thing” for you all. If you want
to

“diet” and really lose weight and be a MUCH better you, please
read

on. We hear about “DIETING” everywhere we go. Every day there is
a

“New” diet out there that praises itself for being better than
any

other ever tried. “HMMMMMM” is all I have to say about that word

“DIET”. People that are severely over weight and need medical
help

should refer to a nutritionist. A nutritionist today is very
well

educated about better eating habits. They will unfortunately use
terms

like ounces and grams, which most people tune out very quickly.
Once

the nutritionist has helped you reach a certain goal, you will
then be

left to maintain your eating habits on your own. If you are not
a very

self motivated person, chances are you will not be able to
continue

alone. This is where people like myself come in to play. We are

realists and we speak in real words. We try to make losing
weight an

easy habit to put into your schedule. No fancy foods or scales
or

charts. Just simplicity.

As I mentioned earlier in my blog, I have been involved in
health and

fitness for over 20 years of my life and I have read it all and
I have

heard it all. I have spoken to many, many experts in the fitness
area

and trainers in many fitness facilities. My thoughts after all
my

years of experience is simple:

Take that word “DIET” and toss it into the trash and hit delete

forever. Then you will think about your habits of eating as just
that,

“HABITS”.

Now you are going to change your eating habits, it is that
easy. I

know what you are thinking, “Where do I start?” Well, you start
simply

by cutting everything that you eat in HALF and I do mean
everything.

Once you get use to this habit, you will have shrank your
stomach a

bit and you will feel less hungry than when you started this
change in

your eating habits. Take a real good look at what you eat a lot
of.

You are smart enough to know that a balanced meal is the best
meal.

Not more of this and less of that. FAT is FAT. SUGAR IS SUGAR.
We know

that they, in small doses, are necessary for our body to
function

properly and healthy.

Also the time of the day in which to eat is important for your
better

habits. If you are on a day time work schedule, this is easiest
for

you. People that are on night shifts tend to have a harder time
in

watching the clock and choosing the best times to eat. Think
about

when you are beginning your day, your mid day, your relaxed time
of

your day. Your beginning time is when you can afford to eat a
bigger

meal, then cut it in half. Mid day is a lesser meal, then cut it
in

half. I would even say keep it light. Then we have the last part
of

your day when all you want to do is vegetate. OK that’s cool
then eat

veggies and salads. The rule of thumb here is simple also: do
not eat

at least for 4 hours before bedtime. POPCORN (Low fat of
course), or

GOLDFISH (YUMMIE) is a definite must when you need to munch on

something. Watch out for the juices. They are a morning drink at
best,

they are very high in sugar.

WATER< WATER< WATER.

There is not a person in the world that actually can drink
enough

water. You should actually drink 1/2 your body weight of water a
day.

"MHM, jeesh" is what I say also. Even I cannot get that much
water

down, but I do my best. White wine is your best cocktail, again
in

moderation of course. Careful of the light beer, it is OK if you
drink

1. That's it though. Red Wines are a good thing for your body,
but

they are higher in sugar, so again, 1 glass is all you should
have. Pure carrot juice totally rules the world. Not only is it
very

refreshing, but it is very, very healthy. Ladies it works well
with

your body to sweeten your odors too. Soy drinks are my favorite,
but

watch those. 1 glass per day Ladies. Alcohol itself is low in

calories, if you drink shots. Add anything to it besides water
and you

are in a danger zone. We all know 1 is never enough, so best to
get

use to shots if you like alcohol.

A lot depends on how busy a person keeps in a day. "MOVE IT- TO
LOSE

IT" is very good food for thought. If there are stairs, then
climb

them. You know it is the best thing to do to help your body burn

unwanted food. Laziness is your enemy, now that you have started

better eating habits. Park your car at the end of the parking
lot and

WALK> WALK> WALK. If you like shopping, do it. It will help kick
off a

lot of unwanted food also. When I am driving in my car, I am
always

thinking of some sort of movement that I can be doing while I
drive,

like squeezing your butt muscles together or doing tummy
tighteners or

tightening your legs. Sex is also a good and fun way to burn
baby

burn. (winks) EVERYTHING that you move in your body takes
energy,

which it gets from your stored, unwanted food. Even smiling
takes an

amazing amount of muscle movement which takes energy to do.
Cleaning,

is another very good thing to do, vacuuming burns a lot of
energy

also.

I sense a sigh already, so listen up here: If you WANT to be
healthier

and more fit, and I do not mean, look like a Barbie doll, I mean
fit

and firmer, it is possible. But like anything else that I am
trying to

help you with in this website, you have to want it. And I mean
want it

all the time. This is a direct way to a better self-esteem for
you!

I know that if you have come into this website, that you spend
a lot

of time trying to learn how to NOT think about worries and
negative

issues. Soooo take that stuff out of your mind and start to
focus on

every little move you can make to burn your unwanted energy.

There is more to getting fit and healthy than just creating
better

eating habits. You are also going to learn better moving and
thinking

habits too. Through this fitness and health section, I will be

supplying you with a FAQ sheet. It will help you to get answers
to

questions that you have regarding getting fit and healthy. It
will be

written so that you can, and will use the information to become
a

better you.

I have met too many women that get quickly turned off of
getting fit

because there is way too much information out there conflicting
with

each other. Not to mention confusing and full of hidden ways to

convince people to buy this and buy that so that they can become
the

ever so desired ,” Barbie Doll”, only to fall and end up right
back

where they started. What I am doing in my site is sharing my
results

through my experiences and life long searches for a doable way
of

making me a better, fitter and healthier person.
