Workout of the day!



Food Tracking-challenge 1

Good Morning!
New year, new you! What are your goals this year? I have one goal every year, and it's pretty simple- be better than the year before!
With that said, it's time to get on track with food and yes, fitness.
Since some of us are out of routine,  (myself included). So I am going to start with this-food tracking.
I know some of you are thinking, I can barely keep track of my life period, what the hell does she mean to add something else? Trust me this works. It's a free app-myfitnesspal, and very user friendly. Download, or if you are at work go to myfitnesspal.com.
All this week I am going to log in everything that is going into my mouth. That's it. Don't worry about the calories or anything. JUST LOG IT.
  Other thing to do today- take measurements of yourself. ugh, I know. In the words of Nike though- JUST DO IT! This includes waist ( Place a tape measure around your body at the top of your hipbone, usually at the level of your belly button) and your hips ( two to three inches below belly button, generally for us women it's the widest area.). 
Ok, wheeeewwww...I'll be back with my first workout!

Fitness for Everyone


Hi Everyone! I'm Francesca Pitts. I'm here to kick ass and chew bubblegum and I'm all out of bubblegum!
HAHAHA..I'm just so funny!

...Seriously, I'm here to help you improve your lifestyle. I'm not here to help you on your way to a hardbody, and I'm not gonna promise you six pack abs. What my blog is about is helping you shed those 20 or 30 pounds you've put on since high school, or get to where you can run a mile or two without falling apart.

I've been a personal trainer for several years; I have a Bachelor of Science degree in community health / health education; and I'm certified by AFAA in Personal Training and Group Exercise. So I know a little bit about developing a healthy lifestyle.

To kick off the new year, and to get people motivated to make some changes, including myself
(I need the support too!)  This is not a diet or a quick solution. It's a lifestyle change with challenges based on food, exercise, and your overall well-being. Workouts, food recipes, and other helpful resources will be posted daily to help you on achieve your goals.

Sound interesting? Find me on facebook under Plain Vanilla Fitness, and let's start 2013  with a BANG!
