Eight Sizes Smaller
Commit to Fit | Week 45
Author: Commit to Fit 2011 Winner, Dave Mckew
As promised, I re-engaged with food after the damaging holidays and lost over 6.5 pounds during the first week of the month. This was my largest drop since October, and a welcome one after basically “treading water” on the scale for most of November and December. At this point I have lost 98.3 pounds in just over 10 months.
Make Your 2012 Nutritional Goals Matter
Author | Sarah Koszyk, Registered Dietitian with MV Nutrition
I hear countless people tell me their 2012 New Year’s Resolutions are: “I’m going to lose weight and eat better in 2012!” Now, I’m all for setting nutritious goals all year round. But these goals usually don’t get achieved because they are too broad and vast. So year after year, I hear the same people saying the same resolutions with no results.
Get results today by setting yourself up with S.M.A.R.T. nutritious goals:

Perform Exercise that balances your body
Our bodies are an expression of every choice we have made since we’ve entered the world. The body will always mould itself around what you do with it. e.g. if you drive to work, sit in a chair 8-10 hrs a day, drive home and then sit on the couch to watch TV, your body will become those environments- usually slouched and restricted.
Holiday Wrap-Up
Commit to Fit | Week 43/44
Author: Commit to Fit 2011 Winner, Dave McKew
Funny story: Billy at DIAKADI gave me two amazing grass-fed steaks for Christmas, and challenged me to actually cook them, since I NEVER cook. (Yes, it’s true, I’ve lost over 90 pounds since March and I hardly ever cook at home. I eat out a lot, and simply make better choices off the menu than I used to, thanks to Eating Free! I do keep food in the house, mostly healthy snacks and breakfasts, but food preparation for one can be a little depressing so I tend to eat a lot of meals out of the house, with friends.) So anyway…I get these *beautiful* steaks home, I fire up the stove, turn on the overhead fan and go to town with cooking one of the steaks in my awesome grill pan, a gift from my old friend Tracy. I do a great job, it looks beautiful…but my apartment is filling up with smoke, because apparently my kitchen fan sucks and the overall ventilation is poor, even with the windows open.
