I have issues just like everyone else. So this blog will focus mainly on getting fit and how I do it. Maybe you can do it too.
Let's get started. First a few thoughts that are really common sense.
- eat too much - gain weight
- exercise too little - gain weight
- excessive sugar, fat and alcohol are BAD
- strength training is good for everyone - do not cheat yourself
- if you don't stretch or don't do it correctly you will probably end up with injuries, aches and pains
- it's up to you if you want to get fit and healthy - you have to do it for yourself and others will benefit
I could go on and on with a list but I won't. Let me tell you a little about myself though. I have not been overweight all my life. About 20 years ago I started to eat emotionally to deal with many new stresses in my life. It took a few years to gain weight but when I did I ended up almost 70 pounds overweight. A couple of years ago I decided to get more serious about changing that. I'd tried many times but never stuck to it. This time was different. I lost over 50 pounds and reached my first goal with only 5-10 pounds left to lose. Then I gained 15 back so I now have about 20 pounds to lose to reach my ultimate goal (I think 25 will be too hard to maintain). I eat very well about 90% of the day but that last 10% ruins all my work. Don't let that happen to you. It's so not worth it and I want to kick my a$$ every day for letting my emotions rule over me. I continue to recommit daily. I know that as long as I make this a priority I will succeed. It just might take longer than I would like.
