Fat Loss 101

Wanna talk fat loss? Why fat, why not weight?
Weight is not bad, fat either, for that matter, but I believe I have some fat paddies to spare.
One of my many mantras is
Baby, you don't walk around with your weight (lbs) plastered to your forehead.
What I mean is, your friends see you, just sweet, beautiful you.
I don't know about you, but I am glad.
Glad they don't see the numbers. 
So lets get to this, ladies!

In order to burn fat, first we must eat.....and eat every 3 hours.
No more tummies growling mid-morning, reach for that snack!
Then it's time to light the fire, and get glowing. (um, sweat dear)
Let's sweat.

Our training options...
Well you know the score, there are so many to choose from.
Today we start with cardio, since most of my friends are cardio queens.
NOTE: We will not go steady state! Just say NO!
If you want to run, please run, walk! or for those hardcore gals, run hills or sprints! :) teehee
