Eating Right: How to Make the Transition

You're young, you're busy, and you're on a budget.  Quick, cheap, and easy is your priority when it comes to food.  Unfortunately, most of the food that fits these criteria, is crap.  It's all too easy to get sucked into a cycle of eating poorly.  However, an unhealthy diet negatively impacts more areas of your life than you realize: not only does it lead to weight gain, but it's bad for your skin, you'll find yourself constantly tired and lacking energy, experiencing mood swings, and having trouble sleeping.  A healthy diet is key to the busy life you lead, and speaking from experience, once you start good habits when it comes to your nutrition, it's easier than you realize to keep up.  Here's some tips to start you on your way.

Repeat After Me, Ladies: The Gym is for Working Out

I know you've all seen it: the girl at the gym in pink spandex Nike booty shorts, clingy tank top, perfectly straightened ponytail, and a face full of makeup.  Most often, she's not doing much besides walking at 3.5 mph on the treadmill, occasionally adding a slope so low that it's hardly noticeable.  The worst part about it is when I notice that she's got on a padded bra under her sports bra.  Ew.  How much is your chest sweating right now?  Moreover, why do you need to have an impressive bosom at the gym?

Fitness truths with Stephanie Willes

A long time ago it was much simpler to select what you were going to eat. You grew it, raised it and then you pulled it from the ground or butchered it. These days you have restaurant after restaurant and tons of chemically engineered "crap", for lack of a better word, because really we can't call a marshmallow food now can we? Pay close attention because here is the most common misconceptions about eating healthy.

A snapshot of my life

by Crystal Flores (@mscris09)

I like to think I'm a fitness fanatic of sorts. For sure I'm a fitness professional...my resume reads "Certified Group Exercise Instructor/Certified Personal Trainer/National NPC Figure Competitor". I'd say I'm knowledgeable in the whole fitness world. I love it, I live it, I breathe it.

Everyone has their own reasons to exercise. Of course, reason #1 for me is health. I want to be able to live a long, large life. But, aside from health reasons, I exercise because of the results I get from it. Who doesn't want a tight butt 'n abs of steel? So, even on my worst days, I'll force myself out of bed and into the gym because it'll all be worth it in the end.
