Ugh..I feel extremely just fat in my stomach area. I weighed myself today and I'm 130lbs flat. I stopped softball and I'm not running and working out and I don't want to let myself go because summer is almost here anyway. I really want to tighten my core a little bit. Any tips?
I'd say my height is about 4'11 possibly.
Answer
You need to cut out processed foods like breads (anything made from white flour including pasta) and raw cane sugar(all sweets). These foods makes us fat and leave us hungry for more. No fast food, junk food, soda pop, ketchup, mayo etc...It's hard the first week and then you won't even crave junk food plus you'll feel so much better & energetic.
Eat fish, chicken, tuna, brown rice (1 cup) w/ veggies & salads. (salad dressing should be 1 tbsp olive oil w/ vinegar or fresh lemon squeezed) a bit of salt & pepper.
Eat fruits. Snack on carrots, celery, cucumbers, tomatoes, & grn apples. Make fresh fruit juice instead of the ones at the grocery store. Make veggie juices too...they are so good & healthy. You can google for veggie juice recipes.
If you feel like having a nut have some almonds (15 of them) or walnuts (15 halves) or 1/4 c. of sunflower seeds. You have to watch the portions bc if you eat too much it turns to fat.
Exercise: Cardio like jogging, swim laps, fast pace walk, dance classes, running up & down the stairs, jump rope, volleyball whatever you like the best 5 xs a week 30-45 min.
www.sparkpeople.com has a calorie counter, fitness tracker & exercise videos you may like this site.
Drink 8-10 glasses of water daily
Take a multi-vitamin daily
"Prepare" meals ahead of time so you'll always have healthy meals prepared. You WILL lose weight/fat if you "commit" to this.
P.S. I heard great reviews on the book "The Fat Smash Diet" by Ian King. It's a strict diet & cardio but really good. You may find it at the library if interested.

How do I know how much a mile is?
how yer do
Okay I want to run a mile how do I know if I have run a mile or not or 2 or 3 or 4 or maybe even 5? Do I tell by time?
Thanks!
Only serious answers this is a real question!
Answer
Several different ways.....
1.) Drive a car through the course you wish to take prior to running it. Use the car's mile counter (I forget what it is called) to determine the length and run it.
2.) In Cross Country, we learn to determine how fast our pace is... whether we a running at a pace of 6 mins a mile or 8. From there we just figure out that if we've been running for 24 mins at an 8 minute pace, we've run 3 miles.
3.) Buy a stepcounter thing (can't remember what that is called either). They tell you how much youve run by multiplying the steps youve taken by your avg. distance per step.
4.) Buy a GPS watch. They tell how far you have travelled.
5.) Run on a track. They all have a set # of laps that equal a mile. For example if 1 lap is 1/5 of a mile, then in 5 laps youve ran a mile.
You can either measure your route, your speed, or just your distance traveled. To measure your route take a map & trace it out with a piece of string, then measure the string against the scale. If you were running only on roads, you can do this with Google maps or Microsoft Streets and Trips, etc. You can also run around a track of known length and count how many times you do so. If you don't have an official track, you can measure a route out with a car odometer or by pacing it out.
If you want to measure your speed you will need to have a route that you know the length of. Run it a few times and time how long it takes. Use that to determine your speed. This is only approximate.
Your other option that lets you take different routes all the time is to get a pedometer. There are generally instructions that come with them on how to calibrate them, and then it will automatically measure how far you went based on how many steps you've taken, and how long your steps are.
