In 3 months and 18 days I have lost 49 pounds. I am super excited. I have done a 5k and have another coming up. I am running and today I bought a bike. My butt hurts real bad but I am going to keep going until it doesn't hurt anymore. A year ago I would have not believed I would be doing this. I have totally changed my lifestyle. A year ago I was having a hard time walking through the mall. My legs would hurt and cramp from lack of exercise. Until I changed my lifestyle I ate fast food everyday. I drank sweet tea and ate fried foods. I was taking in around 6000-8000 calories easy a day. I was killing myself. I wanted to change but I didn't know where to begin. I would start a diet and by dinner I was blowing it. I was hungry. I had been on every crazy diet and I knew that none of that stuff works. I just didn't know how to start. I read all the time. I still read every article I can on diet and nutrition. What do runners eat, what to eat to stay full, and so on. I am always learning.
No matter what you do though it's not rocket science. You have to burn more than you take in, however you do have to take in enough calories so that your body does not go into a starvation mode.
I look forward to exercise now. It's not my favorite thing. I like what it is doing for my body. I love when it's over! I can't go more than a day without it. I have always heard that if you do something for 21 days it will become a habit, so try it. Make exercise a everyday part of your lifestyle.
Keep Moving it really does help...it lowers cholesterol, reduces belly fat, and lower blood pressure.
