Two years ago I was very uncomfortable with my physical appearance because I had let myself become overweight. I made a commitment to begin exercising on a regular basis and to eat better. I lost about 35 pounds in five months and was feeling much better. However, my mind and body had reached a plateau and I was quickly becoming bored and frustrated. I was seeking new ideas, new challenges and new advice to motivate myself. I was also looking to improve muscle tone and definition. That is what brought me to Fit 4 Life. After just a few weeks of slow strength training and following their diet advice, I began to see amazing results. Not only did I lose body fat and increase muscle tone, I felt energized and excited. The entire staff is extremely knowledgeable and supportive. I am grateful for Fit 4 Life because now I am certain that I will continue to be motivated and see results.

Turkey Meatballs
 This weekend my husband and I had dinner with another couple. It was a last minute idea, so the wife just decided to make something quick and easy -- spaghetti. I think most people end up going the spaghetti route at least once a week (or is that just me?), so here is a recipe to help liven up a simple staple. This recipe comes from the Eat-Clean Diet book.
