Since I had Kate 9 1/2 months ago, I've really been wanting to get back in shape. And not just so I can be "skinny". It's not about that. I want to be healthy. I want my family to be healthy. I love working out and I feel good when I eat right. I've lost all of my baby weight plus five more pounds. Hopefully I'll be losing 10 more!
Here are some helpful websites I've found to help me in my quest for being healthy!
- My sister-in-law, Mary, just became a Certified Personal Trainer - Go Mary! She just started a blog that will help you optimize your fitness goals. She updates it weekly and has all kinds of fitness tips. Her website is called Personal Fitness Trainer.
- My friend, Dearie (really Deirdra, but I call her Dearie), is a Registered Dietitian. She has a blog that has all kinds of wonderful health facts about food. She updates it daily and I love reading her tips! Her website is called The Daily Weigh.
- I've recently found a website called My Fitness Pal. It helps me track calories. I have a fitness goal and it tells me how many calories I should eat per day in order to reach that goal. I just enter everything I've eaten that day and it tells me how many calories I've had. Easy! And I love that it calculates everything for me. And I do enter everything. If I have a handful of PB M&M's, it gets entered. I want to be honest!
- This one is awesome - you guys are going to love me for this! Have you ever wondered how many calories/fat grams your homemade recipes have? I found a free recipe calculator! You enter the ingredients, how many servings the recipe makes, and voila! It calculates the nutrition info for you. It is the best! Knowing the nutrition info helps me only eat one homemade cookie, instead of eating 4 or 5 cookies worth of dough, then two or three cookies when they are done (you think I'm joking???). The calculator is at Sparks Recipes.
For those of you who want to be healthier, I hope these websites will help! I just registered for my 2nd 5K today! And I'm already planning my 3rd and 4th . . . Who would've thought I'd ever be a runner? Not me!
