It is never too late to create a fit and healthy lifestyle! I was lucky enough and excited to find a super site, perfect for achieving that goal–SparkPeople.com. Although I have only been a member for 3 weeks, I’ve already made surprisingly effective strides towards living fit and healthy. I’ve been watching and tracking what I eat, started an exercise program (cardio and strength training), feel better overall (improved mood, stable blood sugar levels, and more restful sleep), and lost 3 lbs. plus an inch on my waist and hips. Pretty good for just 3 weeks, right?
Oh yeah, and if you’re wondering what my age is, I’m 49! That’s why I say its never too late. I got totally sick of feeling tired, old and sluggish, and I got sick of not being at my ideal weight. I knew it wouldn’t be easy to get started, but SP has made the process painless and fun. I’m more active, watch less T.V., my mind is clearer, and my body is stronger. I don’t feel so old and tired anymore!
I’ll add that with SP’s wealth of nutrition, wellness, and fitness information I’ve gained loads of knowledge about living a healthy lifestyle. You can also get great support from the members, who are always willing to give that support just when you need it.
Now having raved about SparkPeople, let me review what you get when you’re a member. {Major + — its FREE to join!!}
