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.
Earlier this year, I ended up spending a lot of time indoors after I lost my job, and I ended up gaining 30 pounds in about 8 months. I couldn't believe this, as I had never weighed this much before in my life.
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.
Fortunately, I've turned things completely around. I've lost so much weight and I have some great results to show for it. Most importantly, I feel better than I have in years.
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.
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.
The last thing I decided to do was replace all fried and sauteed foods with grilled and baked ones. This was difficult, but like any habit, I became used to it after a few weeks. I have a great body to show for it now, and I never plan to go back to the dark side.
