Going for the Gold in London in 2012 -- at age 50!

Lisa Fisco at 46 was just getting over a nasty divorce, in debt up to her eyebrows and greatly overweight when she decided to change course. She is now, 50, and training to make the USA Weight-Lifting team to compete in the 2012 Olympics in London, as the oldest Olympic weightlifter, ever. Take a look and hear her truly inspiring story.

If an out-of-shape (as in 100-plus-pounds overweight) middle-aged recently-divorced mother of three, with a huge financial debt, can go for the Gold at the upcoming Olympics, then what is holding us back from reaching for our dreams. Lisa Fisco is in serious training for the 2012 London Olympics; whether she achieves her mega weightlifting goals or not, she has gone from severely depressed to having put life-giving passion back into her life and in the process inspired countless folks like you and me. She has stepped out of mainstream mediocrity to risk failure to live her dreams. We may not want to take such a giant step, but we might be able to find a slightly smaller dream or two to pursue -- to rekindle the joy of living while pursuing major goals.

Here are some foods i think would help. Food Items Used for Weight Loss. Now let us have a look at food items that influence the weight loss and thereby helping those who want to get the perfect shape along with good health. Fishes like salmon, sardines, mackerel, fresh tuna, trout and herring are excellent for losing weight in women. They are the source of vitamin D and contain Omega- 3 fatty acids which prevent one from sudden death due to cardio vascular disease. Cinnamon which is good for blood sugar and diabetes, Soy and grains such as rye, oat and barley prevent heart disease and help in lowering cholesterol respectively. Green tea is outstanding food and prevents some cancers in the body. It helps in boosting up metabolism in the body. Hope the above list of foods make the great evolution in weight loss process and fighting against obesity. http://kevin16383.eliteweightlosspackage.com
