Okay, let’s be real about this. We all love food, and most
food high in calories are high in fat as well. The key is to burn
the calories off in order to lose body fat, which in turn helps
you to lose weight. The trick is to change the time of day you
eat these "bad" foods. If you work a nine to five job and go to
bed around ten o'clock or so, this is easy for you to do. It's a
little harder for those of you who work like I do on the late
night shifts. Remember breakfast? Yeah, it still is the most
important meal of the day. For most busy people it consists of
a donut and coffee, or a chocolate mocha with a double shot of
espresso with double whipped cream to get your day started.
This makes you so hungry that by time you do get around to
eating, you’re so hungry that you overeat. Then you are so full,
you don't eat until you get off work and it probably consisted
of take-out or a high calorie meal. Lastly, you go straight to
bed where it sits (not being burned off) and your body stores it
for fuel later. Now, if you don't use the excess fuel, it just
keeps accumulating and gets stored as fat, and then you
wonder why your jeans are fitting so tight

About Lesley Leach
Lesley Shields-Leach, a native of Omaha, NE, is a proud mother of three and has been happily married for twelve years. She attended Lewis and Clark Junior High and graduated from Central High School. Currently she is a group fitness trainer and a registered nurse. She earned her BSN at the University Of Nebraska Medical Center College Of Nursing. As an Emergency room nurse she is able to care for and educate patients from all walks of life. Performing her passion as a group fitness instructor and personal trainer, she loves being able to educate and encourage gym members through difficult workouts. She and her husband, Michael Leach Sr., own their own fitness consulting and sports nutrition business, “Fitness Fuel”. Throughout her years of teaching she realized that there was not a great deal of fitness related material specifically for Black women. As a nurse she recognized the health concerns that Black Women are facing, i.e.; high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol and cardiac disease. Recognizing the limited information available to black women and concerned with their overall health status, she was motivated to write JUST MOVE: A Black Woman’s Guide to Getting Fit. She starts by asking you to take a deep look inside yourself and analyze your current health status. You may feel intimidated by her straight talk, but I promise, you’ll thank her later
