HEY, I’M REALLY GLAD YOU PICKED UP THIS BOOK! I know, if you go through it page per page, cover to cover, you’re going to pick up some great tips, ideas and instruction on how to lose weight, improve your health, get fit, feel great and have more energy than you know what to do with!

Today, so many people carry a few extra pounds on them or their really overweight or just not feeling and looking their absolute best! With age goes our youthful looks, but does that have to be the case? What is the secret to looking younger? Drugs? No. Surgery? No. Eating right? Yes. Exercise? YES! In fact, I learned that when you exercise, you releases a half dozen hormones that help reverse aging. Go figure! Sign me up for that program! What’s more, eating less, eating right and not eating the bad stuff can also make you look younger! Hence, why I put this health and fitness guide together. Sure, there are other websites, blogs, videos, gurus, etc. out there, but is what they’re saying/doing helping? Maybe, maybe not. I know for me? What you’re about to read, learn AND PUT INTO ACTION (RIGHT?) is tailored for me.

For example, I’ve been eating my world famous salad for 15+ years. It’s my go-to meal for when I know I’ve been bad and have to trim down and get slim again. It never fails me. For 3-4 days straight, I’ll eat just my salad and a light breakfast. In fact, I’m on my own personal 30-DAY SALAD-EATING CHALLENGE! All this month (today’s the 10th of July), I’m going to eat my salad 5-6 days a week, with 1-2 days off. So far, the results have been awesome! Of course, this also means NO ICE CREAM, NO CHOCOLATE CHIPS, NO SUGARY JUICES, etc. We don’t want to ruin all our good eating habits with bad snacking habits, right? Exactly! IF I do indulge in a sweet, it’s a very small sampling. Everything in moderation.

I also know, my A.A.B.B. workout routine is what I turn to when I want to slim down. Wait ‘til you see how brainless it is. Because? I’m older now, and like most people, I’M LAZY TOO! I don’t want to have to think or work too hard to get in shape. Granted, I don’t mind working out hard, but please make it easy and fast to get in and out (of working out). I’ve got things to do.

When I work out, I don’t work out in shorts and a t-shirt; no, I like wearing sweat pants and long-sleeve sweatshirts. Reason is, I like to make sure I sweat a lot. I’m reminded of my old wrestling days when you had to meet a certain weight in order to wrestle in a certain weight class. Well, if you could let go of water weight or go to the bathroom the lower your weight when you weighted in. So, that stuck with me and that is something (i.e., water) we all retain a lot as we get older or if we don’t work out heavily. As we sweat, out go a any number of toxins as well. What’s more, as you work out more often, as you lose the water around your body from sweating, you’ll see your skin tighten up because there’s no longer that water puffing you out.

BUT HEY, ENOUGH ABOUT ME! Let’s get to you! Again, while I wrote this guide for me (to follow), I also wrote it for you too! I like having healthy principles and rules for eating, working out and living life as healthy as I can. So, here’s what we need to think about to motivate us to get healthy, get in shape and ROCK!!!
