I’ve drastically cut back and switched completely to sugar free/diet/zero calorie sodas, and replaced my Orange Mint Lifesavers with Sugar Free Jolly Ranchers. It wasn’t as hard as I thought it would be, bit I think that has a lot to do with me counting calories and reading nutritional labels of what I’m buying and eating. I’ve learned that drinking a tall glass of water when I’m questioning if I’m actually hungry or if I’m boredom eating has really shown me a lot of my grazing is boredom eating.
I got another copy of the book that really truly helped me a decade ago (Dieting For Dumbies), and was gifted a new book Foods That Harm & Foods That Heal. Not sure I’ll be able to spend 30-45 minutes on the eliptical 2 or 3 times daily-which was never the plan, but I wanted to loose the weight bad enough I eliminated ALL the candy and traded my bad eating and drinking habits for a relationship with the eliptical machine.
Now it’s time to head back to the gym. I’m not trying to spend 45 minutes on the eliptical 2 or 3 times EVERY DAY like I did 10 years ago, but that wasn’t the plan then. I just didn’t want to be the fat guy in the tiny car anymore and turned in my bad eating and drinking habits-AND ALL MY CANDY for an addiction to the gym. It took a 11 months, but I went from 284lbs to 196lbs.
It’s been 10 years and I don’t have that crazy energy I had a decade ago, but its time to start and put in the effort now that I’m back to better health. After 2 1/2 months (Nov 25th to be exact) of sinusitus and chest conjestion, it was nice to finally have clear sinuses and lungs. Then it snowed.
Now I’m ready.
