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.

Spinach & Chicken Sausage Pizza
 This week's recipe will be a definite hit at any Super Bowl party. It is loaded with good protein and nutrient-rich vegetables, but it still satisfies that craving for pizza that seems to creep up whenever there is a football game on. As an added bonus, it also supplies you with 75% of your daily calcium requirement (thanks to the cheese and spinach). This dish comes from "Clean Eating" magazine. Enjoy!
