I'd like to share a quick story with you, now that you're here. This has been a really interesting year for me, full of ups and downs.
Like many Americans, I was laid off from my job earlier in the year. I had nowhere to go all day and I ended up at the computer most of the time. I was eating but I wasn't moving, and this led to a lot of weight gain.
I was confused by this. I generally don't eat too badly, though I do sneak in a few treats here and there. I hadn't changed my eating habits though. The fact that I wasn't as active all day caused the weight gain.
Lucky for me, I've disciplined myself and find myself much lighter than I was just a few short months ago? You may be wondering how I've done it, and it isn't nearly as hard as you might think.
The biggest thing that I did was the fact that I eliminated any and all sodas from my every day drinking habits. I don't care if it's a diet cola that has no calories, I still think it's bad.
Additionally, I took a closer look at the foods I ate and decided to do away with sugar altogether. The only sugar I'd have from here was the sugar that's found naturally in fruits, which happens to taste pretty good.
Exercise is the other part of the plan, and I've been getting a lot of it. Running at the gym nearly every day of the week, I'm more physically fit than I've ever been. I also love the rush I experience after a nice, long run.
The last thing I decided to do was replace all fried and sauteed foods with grilled and baked ones. This was difficult, but like any habit, I became used to it after a few weeks. I have a great body to show for it now, and I never plan to go back to the dark side. - 30241
