So I wanna write on one subject I know most people are familiar with, and something i struggle with all the time. WEIGHT LOSS. Yeah, most people are unto it, some get off and on the train (like me me). So is weight loss something one should do for a period, to fit into a particular dress or for a birthday? Or is it sustainable?
I think it should be a total life style change. Dropping weight all of a sudden and gaining is not good for our health. So one should aim for a slow ( not snail's slow anyway ) but steady progress. I say, don't diet, eat healthy. That means cut out some junk permanently from your diet, reduce portions and generally eat healthily. This way u can enjoy the foods you love at a moderate level. Add that up with a minimum of 30 mins of exercise, 5 days a week and bam! Weight loss!
What happens when we reach our goal weight? Do we stop watching the foods we eat? Do we stop exercising? That's why I think making it a life style change, ( i know, easier said than done) all we should do when we reach our goal is : if we had one cheat day in 2 weeks, we make it one cheat day a week ( Don't go overboard on cheat days! It's a cheat day, not a binge! ) if we were exercising 5-6 times a week, we can reduce to 4-5 times. As far as fitness is concerned there is so much to attain, bulking, wash board abs, etc. find a goal and work towards it.
We are all a WIP ( Work in Progress ) with regards to this.. So try and make the journey a fun one, don't do exercises we hate, else it will be hard to commit to it. Experiment with healthy recipes, www.howdidshegetfit.com is a great one, the Internet has a lot to go through..as much as possible get people around us involved so that we stay accountable.. I pray i stay accountable after this post.
God help us all. Cheers!!
