This has been a really interesting year for me. I've lost my job and I've had some great weight fluctuations. What started out on a bad note has ended on a positive one.
Unfortunately, the company I work for went out of business last year. I was left in a situation where I couldn't find a job, so I spent most of my time online, pursuing some hobbies and looking for jobs. Unfortunately, I gained a lot of weight during this time.
I was confused by this. I generally don't eat too badly, though I do sneak in a few treats here and there. I hadn't changed my eating habits though. The fact that I wasn't as active all day caused the weight gain.
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.
First and foremost, I decided that drinking soda simply wasn't a good idea. Even a diet soda isn't good for you, as the artificial chemicals and sweeteners are said to have a negative effect on the body.
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.
Next, I make it a point to run at least 4 times weekly. I really try for 5 or 6 when I can, but 4 should do the job, especially if you aim for a faster speed each time.
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. - 29951
