By now you all know that I have an obvious food... problem. I love food, of the tasty and healthy variety of course. But I also have another...problem (he he..) that I am just as passionate about, which is WEIGHT LIFTING! I am an avid exerciser and I'm not talking about the girl that gets on the treadmill everyday and walks at a leisurely pace. I tell people all the time that, (in my opinion), the best "bang for your buck" body changer is lifting weights. Obviously there are other things to do but the benefits of lifting weights are many! Bone preservation, healthy lean muscle tissue (the ones you see AND the ones you don't) and of course the awesome physique you sculpt lifting all those weights are just a few! Not to mention the extra calories you burn for every pound of muscle on your frame! My philosophy-go big or go home, lift more than just a 3 or 5 pound dumbbell PLEASE! If your not challenging yourself you are not changing, period.
I thought you all might like to peek into some articles I have written for fun, mostly. Enjoy!

I realize this isn't food, but I wanted to show that even though I cook a lot I am "walking the walk" of what I say. I'm not like a Doctor who is 30 pounds or more overweight himself telling YOU to lose weight. I am fit because I practice what I preach, working hard to stay fit and eating a healthy diet!
