Happy New Year! Each year I tend to avoid making any solid New Years resolutions, partly because I feel they have a tendency to set people up for failure, partly because I already expect too much of myself on a daily basis, I hardly see the need to add more to it.
However, with that in mind, I'd
like to share a Deep Dark secret that I've been harboring. I used to be Fat. No, Really. At my absolute heaviest, (March 21, 1996) I weighed 232 pounds, (as per the doctors scale!). Granted, I was pregnant, but I was also, FAT. I wasn't only unfit and unhealthy, I was absolutely miserable.
I felt it was imperative that I immediately get into shape and lose as much weight as I could, as rapidly as possible. Biggest loser hadn't yet been thought of, I'd watched friends and family struggle through weight watchers meetings for years, counting calories, weighing foods, trying the latest fad diets, atkins, the zone, south beach, you name it. To me, the answer seemed quite simple, get off my widening rear, get moving and stop eating ridiculous amounts of food.
I read numerous bodybuilding and fitness websites trying to figure out what type of workout plan would work best for me. What I learned (and I am greatly simplifying) is that in order for your body to burn larger amounts calories, the larger muscle groups need to work. The more they work, the more calories they burn. The more muscle you have, the more calories you burn.
Pretty simple stuff!
How
much you need to workout entirely depends on your own lifestyle.
Are you fairly active?
Do you sit down most of the day (for your job)?
Do you walk to work, drive?
Are you trying to lose weight or maintain weight?
Why are you getting fit?
Here is the complete Free Workout plan for each day, including video clips of each exercise to help you use the correct form. In addition, each workout includes a free printable workout worksheet.
What to Eat- or better yet, what NOT to eat! Here are a few guidelines of the dietary changes that were made to accomplish this rapid change.Food Guidelines

I opened the links and saw what you saw but when I enlarged my window, everything was back into paragraph form and easy to read If I misunderstood your dilemma, sorry that I wasn't any help.
It's kind of like Google is extending the ads all the way down, which squishes everything, even in a full screen... I don't know what you could do, really, but I'm thinking of copying and pasting into wordpad, so I can remove the ad...
I love that someone pointed this article out. I missed it the first time and have so very much to lose.... *sigh*
Could someone who's experiencing this issue take a screenshot and send it to
contact @ budget101.com (without the spaces), so we can fix it- we need to know what browser you're using, which version the browser is (like FF 3.2, etc) also, if you happen to know what your Monitor screen resolution is set at, that would help greatly as well!!
