How I Lost 15 Lbs. in 2 Months
The year 2009 has been one filled with highs and lows and I’m happy to say that it’s now at a high point. I’ll share some details about my experience with you.
Like many Americans, I was laid off from my job earlier in the year. I had nowhere to go all day and I ended up at the computer most of the time. I was eating but I wasn’t moving, and this led to a lot of weight gain.
From there, I tried to figure out what was going on. I wasn’t really eating any differently, and I guess it was just the gradual buildup of burning a few less calories every day.
Lucky for me, I’ve disciplined myself and find myself much lighter than I was just a few short months ago? You may be wondering how I’ve done it, and it isn’t nearly as hard as you might think.
The biggest thing that I did was the fact that I eliminated any and all sodas from my every day drinking habits. I don’t care if it’s a diet cola that has no calories, I still think it’s bad.
I think that sugar is what led to my weight gain more than anything else, so I decided to nip that in the bud. It was hard to do at first, but finding replacements for sugar like fruit makes the job a lot easier. After a few weeks, you simply won’t crave sugar like you used to.
Exercise is the other part of the plan, and I’ve been getting a lot of it. Running at the gym nearly every day of the week, I’m more physically fit than I’ve ever been. I also love the rush I experience after a nice, long run.
Finally, I needed to cut down on the fat in my diet and decided to do away with anything fried. Harder than it sounds, because you’ll really feel great once you stop.
While I still haven’t found a job, I’ve been writing about copper mailbox deals and brass mailboxes.
