My title today is "A New Me". I'm not new yet, but I will be! I have recently become re-interested in a program I joined over two years ago but quit using because of my hectic life. I have found since I've gone back to it, that I have more energy to accomplish all I have to do every day.
The program to which I am referring is called Spark People. It is a totally free internet diet/fitness program, and it really works! I try to use nearly every aspect of the program to help me live in a healthier manner, but it is totally customizable to your individual needs.
On Spark People, you can track the foods you eat every day and know just how many calories, carbs, fat grams, etc. that you are consuming. This helps you know where you need to make changes in your diet. There is also a meal planner, if you want to take the guesswork out of what to eat every day.
You can also track your exercise, both cardio and strength-training. The program can suggest strength-training exercises, or you can choose your own from a large variety of choices.
There are lots and lots of helpful articles on nutrition, fitness, motivation, health topics, etc. If you read the articles, you're sure to learn something new every day!
There are also message boards where you can get to know other members and give or receive encouragement from others with similar goals.
I'm not one to promote something that I don't believe in, but I believe in Spark People! Since it's totally free, you have nothing to lose by checking it out for yourself. Just click on the link below.
