Well aren’t we an active bunch of social media twitter stars?

Tanya (@netchick) is starting to get serious about her training for the Team Diabetes Disney World run coming up in January.

Rebecca (@miss604) has been pumping iron down at Fitness World.

Geoff Livingston (@geoffliving) has been tweeting his fitness updates with the hashtag #twit2fit.

I’m also on board the fitness train, with a program from LA Weight Loss. I’ve been at it for 2 weeks, have dropped about 4 pounds. Not earthshaking, but it feels great to move a notch on the belt, and my running has been a lot easier and is improving.

Geoff is the only one officially using the #twit2fit hashtag with his posts. It’s part of a movement started by @JasonFalls back in May to get twitterers off the net and into the gym.

I don’t need 50 people to inspire me. I just need 28 of the folks who think my random brain smatterings are worthwhile enough to click, “Follow.” So today I’m hoping anyone wishing to improve their health, be it through fitness or diet or both, will join me in a Twitter experiment.

I’m calling it Twit2Fit – using Twitter to support and inspire one another to improve our wellness, whether it be through diet, exercise or even spiritual health. Let’s use one another as a check point to keep everyone focused on their goals.

It’s good to see everyone getting up off the chair, pushing away from the keyboard and taking control of their lifestyle.

If you need a little help, a little nudge, let me share with you the big secret I’ve discovered so far with LA Weight Loss: eat little meals throughout the day, make sure each one has some protein.

That’s how my meals are balanced out. I have a food diary and each day I have 3 proteins, 3 fruits, 4 vegetables, 4 starch, 2 dairy and 2 fat. I sit down over breakfast, usually scrambled eggs and toast, and budget out my meals across the day.

I’ll have an LA Lite bar (similar to a protein bar) and piece of fruit mid morning. A tuna sandwich, some carrots and celery and a yogurt for lunch. Another bar and maybe some crackers mid afternoon. Then it’s bbq’d chicken with 2 veg for dinner, a yogurt and some graham crackers for dessert. BRILLIANT!

Sounds like a full day of food, and it is. But the key is constantly refueling throughout the day.

I know I just told you the secret, but the gang at LA Weight Loss have been instrumental in getting Jen and I on track to our goals. They call themselves personal weight loss coaches, and they truly are.

Yes, LA Weight Loss costs money. But with the food diary, I’m making sure I buy groceries I will eat. I don’t throw food out anymore, and since Jen and I plan out our meals, we’re not scrambling at the last second and ordering pizza. Honestly? It’s a break even proposition. The money you spend on fast food and thrown out food, would equal what you pay to get on board with LA Weight Loss.
