The biggest loser

Wow I woke up one day and noticed I had 10 extra pounds on me. OK so it seems that way. It seems like after I turned 35 two years ago, YES I am 37!!!, I started gaining weight. I know that took my metabolism for granted. I no longer can eat whatever I want and not exercise. It was hard at first for me accept this weight gain because I have, excuse me, had been so thin for years. People please note just because you are thin does not mean you are healthy. So now I am on this heath journey - FOR REAL!!!!!

One of the hardest things about this journey is maintaining when I am on the road. Working from home I can just jump on my treadmill at any time of the day. Not so when on the road. I have to make it exercise a priority and really PRESSSSSSSSSS to do it after work. I just started a running and walk combination. I enjoy it but I gotta remember not to be too zealous in the beginning and then fall off by becoming inconsistent. I also have to make sure I make wise food choices and make sure I not skip meals. It is really easy for me to skip dinner or look for a fast food place after an exhausting day with a customer.

I know that the exercise and eating right is paying off because a few months ago my doctor took me off of blood pressure medicine.

I have to remember that the weight did not come over night so I have to be consistent, deliberate and determined to a live a healthy lifestyle!!!!

Please post any tips you have that contribute to living a healthy lifestyle.
