Eleven months ago i decided i was going to drop 20 lbs in six months. I started going to the gym, did that faithfully for two months but i realized this was not the way i was going to live my life. I had to be realistic, if i wanted results and this to be part of my llife and not seasonal i had to do something about. it So i stopped going to the gym, by this time i was seeing and feeling the results. I didn't seem to lose much, but my clothes started getting bigger each passing week.
I just had to make a few changes here and there, i wasn't too big, i just wanted to stay healthy and keep it that way. I am a picky eater, over eating or eating junk food are not my problems. i don't smoke, don't drink sodas and i like caffeine free drinks only. I had not touched coffee in 14 yrs. My problem is not eating enough, i will skip meals, I have worked on this. My biggest problem is not having enough sleep, i usually do five hrs max, and i will be automatically up. My schedule is crazy; i have splits, to overnights and three 4-pm. I did overnights for over a year, this is when i realized i gained weight alot. My break is at 2 am and i would order penne pasta with chicken and spinach in some yummy garlicky butter sauce. After work i wouldn't go to sleep right away, i just carried on like i didn't have to work in the night, i would just nap for maybe three hours. And on the days that i would actually sleep i would not eat the whole day. I am not eating that pasta anymore. I try to get as much rest as i can when ever possible.
Now that i don't go to the gym, i try to walk as much i can. I have a Ton Little gazelle, 5 lbs ankle and wrist weights, dumb bells , 3D ABS and my favorite EA active Wii game. I try to learn about food as much as i can, understanding what you are putting in your body is a big step to losing weight or just staying healthy. When i look at a 300 calorie bag of chips, packed with sodium and saturated fats....................i ask my if it's really worth it, i turn around and grab an apple instead which is more filling. I still indulge but moderation is the key. More later.....
