Are you eating enough?

BMI- Body Mass Index

I got to visit with a personal trainer today which i was more than thrilled about. She runs her own business, as well as works through community centres. She is at breithaupt centre for a bunch of courses as well as waterloo rec centre, and she gave me a whole new inspriation today. I am already feeling pain, but very well worth the pain. she told me about the website www.tanita.com for more information about body mass index BMI and the water in your body. At the start today she weighed me, knowing that i also do weight watchers. BUt she also calculated my body fat in % and the water. This was extremely helpful because what she did notice about my water intake today at the start of the exercise is that i was 3-4% low which showed i hadn't had enough water in my body. Because of the measurements with the scale she had used she was able to measure how much fat i had in my body, and how much lean muscle i had as well. One thing this website she gave me tells you is the improtance of BMI and water in your body, and here is a link about BMI and the healthy levels. A lot of people don't understand it, i know i have more reading to do on it! I am not fully aware on it. However, I am very excited to learn, and grow with the program she started me on.

There is also www.peasandthankyou.com where we got our black bean burgers from which were 3 points and they have a lot of vegetarian meals- and vegan meals.

For those who deal with a lot of dairy, wheat, allergies a good website is : http://intoxicatedonlife.com/ I went to college with Luke- one of the 2 who writes this blog, he is married and him and his wife write the blog together and have 4 kids and do a lot of natural cooking for their kids, and get as natural as they can get, and i believe if i understand correctly at least one child has a bunch of allergies, so they do their blog because of their knowlege for that and to help other parents like them. Luke is also a pastor.
