Hello all,
On February 1st I was 249 pounds. Now I am 195 pounds with 25 more to go.
On February 19th I had a follow up check up with my Doctor. He was very stern with me about
loosing weight. With Lent starting around the same time. I got very serious.
I gave up all POP and sugary soft drinks and Sweet Tea! I just have Water and lemon or
Unsweeten Tea with lemon. I gave up all French Fries, Chips and Salsa, and cut back my portions.
I snack with Bananas, Unsalted crackers, Water mellon, Grapes and various fruit.
Brushing your teeth after eating meals helps and chewing gum to keep your mind off of eating.
Since the middle of May I have been biking 20 miles in the evening and 30 - 40 miles on the weekends,
when it is not raining. Also, I walk 45 minutes to work in the morning and home after work. I also take a 45 min walk during lunch.
I watch what eat at lunch, Switch Ketchup for Yellow mustard.
It is all in the mind. Some I know from nutrition told me,
"After you are done eating you want to feel hungry".
You mind can control you eating and your mind can control your exercise.
After a month of giving up soft drinks my body was used to water and unsweeten tea!!!!
This is why I have not finished my armor. I want to fit into it.
I am 5ft 3in.
Andy
