tools? Many people opt for the easier route, which they believe is dieting. But when you consider how poor the statistics are for long- term weight loss through diets, you need to consider a combination of both. Normally, only about 5% of dieters are successful in keeping weight off, and weight cycling is very common. Usually one-third of weight lost is regained within one year and almost all is regained within three to five years. As a rule of thumb, weight loss is gener- ally 75 percent diet and 25 percent exercise. Which do you begin first? Exercising or just moving your body more is probably the easiest thing to begin. Once you begin to exercise your mind will crave healthier food. The body and mind are an amazing pair when working together for the better. Listen to your body it will tell you what it needs not what you want. Living a Healthy Lifestyle is not a race it’s a Journey. Take it one day at a time and learn as you go. Your Mind, Body and Soul will thank you. “You do you” Angela Winston-Hebert is a Personal Trainer, Corporate Trainer and Founder of FaithnFitness. http://www.angelasfaithnfitness.com | https://www.facebook.com/angelasfaithnfitness www.himpowermagazine.com  13
