Fav Food Gone Healthy

New segment to the 2daybefit blog to jump start your healthy, fun filled weekend. So, you've made the commitment to lead a healthier lifestyle - a regular workout schedule, a tight meal plan, even drinking less.  Good for you! I know it's working out great.

On the flip side though, let's be real, eating healthy can get boring and hard as hell! I know you're missing the pizza and chicken parm and burritos.  I'm here to say, you can have all that! Just not from Fat Sal's Eatery or Pedro's Picnic Place.  You can easily make healthier versions of your favorite meals. I'm talking half the fat and calories!

It's not water weight, It's FAT

“Big Boned” used to be the number one excuse for extra padding on the body. Nowadays folks like to chalk it up to “water weight.”  

Reality check. You haven’t stepped foot in a gym in weeks, months or maybe even years. Still, you stand by the delusion of good ol’ fashion water weight.  Well, I’m here to tell you, with love, you need to lose fat. The first, and toughest, step is recognizing you need to hit the gym, work with a personal trainer or even head to the high school track for a few laps.  

It’s crucial to be focused on burning some calories and building muscle instead of “shedding water weight” when in fact you need to up your water intake but, that’s a story for another day.

But, hey, the proof is in the pudding, right?  Don’t take my word for it. Get up and get out to burn calories and lose that fat.
