Staying Fit @ 35

My entire life has revolved around staying fit and being healthy and at the age of 35 I am very happy with how I look.  It is not an easy task and it definetly takes constant motivation and dedication.  First thing I do every morning is get on that scale and then I drink my coffee and go straight to the gym on an empty stomach which helps get your body into a fat burning zone quicker.  I lift weights for about 35 minutes and than I do 45 mins- 1 hour of cardio on the stairclimber.  When I was younger that was all I had to do, but now I also have to watch my diet. I find that eating 6 small meals a day really helps boost my metabolism. A typical diet plan for me consists of 4 oz of protein (w/each meal) and lots & lots of veggies and salads, and I also snack on almonds  throughout the day.  Another key ingredient I find to staying fit is WATER lots and lots of water, almost a gallon a day.  So in a nutshell this is what I find works best for me, I  know it sounds like a lot but I find everything in life is just better when you feel good about how you look!  Please read what others do to stay fit.
