To be honest, the hardest thing for me is the eating. I just plain old eat too much. Or rather, I eat the wrong stuff. For example -- I hope when you all know just how bad peanut butter is for you. Atrocious.
So I'm going to put myself back on the "diet" I did during lent a few years ago. I'm only going to eat what grows. And that I mean by that is I'm going to eat more raw, healthy foods that I will burn quicker. Cheese doesn't grow, neither does peanut butter or jelly. If I want sweet, I'll have honey. If I want protein, I'll eat AN egg. If I have chicken, it will be pan seared or baked in the oven with just enough oil in the pan so it doesn't stick or burn. No more butter, no more chocolate, no more any of that.
Drinks, I'll have just water and milk.
This is going to suck, but I'm tired of being fat. My hips don't lie and I'm looking like my genetics.
I know the back of the peanut butter jar LOOKS bad - but all natural peanut butter is quite good for you. And peanut butter does grow (the natural stuff ONLY has peanuts in it). Just limit the amount you eat. I'd sometimes eat a banana and a spoon full of PB before a workout. Best energy ever!
ReplyDeleteI'll keep this in mind. And start popping a few extra bits for real stuff instead of just jiffy.
