I think the first step to accomplishing something is learning about it. I want to lose weight and to live healthier than I have been. I have grown up with little education in the way of Nutrition. The most I got was talks about the four food groups in school, which have since been re-written anyway. My parents eat horribly unhealthily and it is what I grew up on.
I have been fat my whole life.
To change that, I need to learn the proper way of losing weight while still nourishing myself and the proper way to exercise to avoid injury.
Right now I am reading “Fitness for Dummies” and watching online video stream of a Nutrition course at UC Berkeley (which you can find here, if you are interested: http://webcast.berkeley.edu/course_details.php?seriesid=1906978398 ) I’m also looking at the US government’s official site, MyPyramid.gov and various other internet sources.
Hopefully this will get me started in the right direction.
