When Nutrition Became Important to Me

9/26/2012

... I started to notice that some of my pants were getting tight and hard to put on. I learned at a young age that muscle weighs more than fat, or a pound of fat has more volume than a pound of muscle, so my weight was never much of an issue for me. But I had never had any trouble with my pants being too tight!
... I went with my aunt to Herbal One. There I learned that it’s not just how much you exercise or eat that makes the difference, it also matters when you eat compared to when you exercise.
... that bagel, which counts as 4 slices of bread, was going to my hips instead of being used as energy. Man, does that make a big difference!!
     What I didn’t like about Herbal One was that they were so focussed on weight and supplements ... I did lose weight, but most importantly, my pants fit again, yeah!!
     That was when I started paying attention to nutrition and thinking about when I ate what compared to when I was active or not. Since then I have learned even more about fitness and nutrition ... more about how the body uses food to fuel us everyday.
... remember to take it one day at a time, we don’t get “fat” overnight so we won’t get “fit” overnight either...
