Dear Readers, as I promised to You, today my post will be about Italian methods of burning calories and a variety of Italian traditional meals.

As you know, Italian food is unique amongst world cuisines because it has birthed two international meals – pasta and pizza.

First of all, let’s talk a bit about pasta – one of the traditional Italian foods. Dear Readers, did you know that Italian pasta has about 600 different varieties and shapes? Well, I have the opportunity to taste some different Italian pastas and it was so delicious! Moreover, Italian pasta doesn’t contain any fat, sugar and starch! I think it’s a good choice to eat this meal when you are burning calories. When I have the time, I will try to make it myself!

Well, I have to admit that Italian pizzas look so delicious… Margherita, Capricciosa, Verrazano, Urbana… I have never eaten so good and tasty pizzas in all my life!!! But my friend said that pizza has a lot of calories and isn’t very healthy… After these words I am afraid of my weight situation … Maybe I have put on weight after this wonderful trip?

Finally I want to say that during my trip I haven’t seen any obese Italian. Maybe different culture and traditions play a big role in our life…

Hello, My Dear Readers! I have some good news for you! First of all I will talk about my second time in the gym. I am very proud to say, that I HAVE LOST 1 POUND and I feel differently now!!! This is very good news for me, because now I know that all my efforts haven’t been for nothing! (Well, I must admit that live without any tasty hamburger is very difficult for me now…) I was so happy about it that I didn’t notice how time flew so fast in the gym! Maybe the second time was a little bit easier? My personal trainer showed me some new exercises on a stepper, treadmill and elliptical trainer. I hope that tomorrow I won’t feel that horrible ache in my legs again..!

But I have more good news today! My boss gave me one week of vacation! Yesterday my good friend offered me to travel with her in Italy!!! I had never been there so I was very impressed with her offer! I used all my savings to buy a plane ticket… Dear Readers, our destination will be Roma! I always had a dream to visit this city and now my dream will come true!!! I have read a lot about Italy, about Italian culture… It is very interesting for me. Italy differs from my country in many ways.

The bad news is that I won’t be able to write to you during my travel… But I promise that I will try to find out a little bit about Italian methods of burning calories. See you next week, Dear Readers!
