become healthier

I want to become healthier to help me lose some weight as well as make myself less prone to sickness so I cans tudy for SATs and such more easily. So I’m trying to cut down on junk food and raise the amounts of healthier foods, like fruits and greens. Wish me luck~

I’ve been vegetarian for a week now. The next step is to move onto organic food. I do dancing but would like to excercise regularly if I can.

On Halloween of 2008, of all days!, I decided i wanted to eat better. I began to cut out all junk food totally. No pastries at Starbucks, no fancy coffee drinks, no chips during the day, no cookies. I bought a George Foreman grill for both at home and at work. I started making sure I ate 3 meals a day instead of grazing all day long. My breakfast is now scrambled eggs with vegetables, or a hard boiled egg with a fruit. Lunch is something like maybe a turkey hot dog with saurkraut, or sliced turkey, or fish, with a fruit and for dinner I’ll grill steak, or pork chop, lamb chop, or a chicken breast and have it with vegetables and fruit for dessert. 6 months later I’ve lost 20 lbs! The weight loss is nice, I’ll admit that but I was actually just wanting not to eat crap. I feel so much better physically and I sleep better as well.

I did this with no exercise and for the next 6 mos will focus on being more active and not having such a sedenatry lifestyle.

It was not that hard but not that easy either. I definetly don’t deprive myself. My husband and I enjoy dining out and I choose to eat what I want… this time though I make better choices!

I’m very stressed all the time and have allergies to certain foods. I find the news and other things get me down. As a result i have developed Irritable Bowel Syndrome (not pleasant.)
I’m trying to back off a bit from modern life and see if this helps me get more healthy. The ultimate goal is to have more energy.
I’m going to try and stay off junk food and enormous portions. I’m going to try yoga and meditation, get closer to nature and not fret about the material stuff. I’m sure this will help me regain my health as the stress, materialism and bad food of this modern world doesn’t seem to be doing me any favours. Reading a good book will also help. :)

We ate fruit for breakfast this morning! Melons…yum!

Better diet and fluid intake. Just small changes in which I change my choice of food.

Ya so I’m overweight and out of shape and that needs to change. I’m starting a program from Bob Greene’s book ‘Get With The Program!’ For the first time I realize that this will take a while. But I think it will be worth it.

I think that I need to start eating right and exercise and all that stuff ppl keep saying are good for u. I dont want to overdo it. But less suger and more veggies and fruit and go out once in a while would probly be good for me…

Less meat, less fried food, less chocolate. More grilled, more fish, more veggies, more fruits, more juices, more green tea.
It’s about time I move on to execute this decision, I’ve always said this monday, this week, next month.. it’s been 5 months now. I’m normal weight, but I know I can lose few pounds. And I will.

I would like to get to a weight were my clothes are comfortable and I feel good about myself again. I want to live to an old age that does not require me to be taken care of by my children.
