The Secret Of Life

Since starting this blog I have been filling it with pictures and posts about photography, and I’ve only had my camera since – oh – July. I’ve been a fitness instructor for 22 years, maybe 23, and this is my first fitness blog. Hmmm, I’m not sure what that means but since I’m not very self-perceptive, I won’t think too much about it.

I turned 40 a few years ago and did what every women who turns 40 does, take a long, hard, critical look in the mirror. It is such a pivotal moment, knowing that there’s no turning back. However, Oprah says that it’s the best time of a woman’s life, the 40’s. Since everything she says is true, I’m going to embrace it.

The fact is, as we get older, we must work harder. I know, no one wants to hear that but it’s true. Remember when we used to stay out all night, drinking, carousing, coming back to our dorm rooms and eating pizza until 4 am, and wake up the next morning, skinnier than when we went to bed? Well it ain’t happening in your 40’s. It’s life.

So here it is, if you eat more than what you burn, you will gain weight. I say again, if you eat more than what you burn, you will gain weight.

That’s the secret of life, and you read it here, on my blog. So live with it. Don’t eat more than you burn and you won’t gain weight. Period.

So, in some future blogs, I’ll give you tools to do that. It’s tools that I use. It’s food that I cook. It’s the struggle that I live with every day.

That’s the secret of life.
