Life Changes


This is a process that lasts a lifetime. Should we jump into the process of losing weight and becoming healthy? Or do we ease into it and let it change us over time? I'm not sure if I'm doing enough or if I should be exercising for hours a day as I have in the past. As the old saying goes: slow and steady wins the race, right?

We're not on the Biggest Loser. We don't have trainers at our disposal all day every day. We don't have the opportunity to exercise and learn about what to eat without having to work or have home life getting in the way.

Should more be done on the days when we have time to relax? What benefits our bodies the most? Is it easier to do at home or at a gym?

It's a life change but it's consuming my time and thoughts. I wish it could be a natural thing to exercise and eat right. It would have been nice to start life like that. To eliminate the urges to eat "bad" food and be lazy. It would be nice if there wasn't even bad food invented. There shouldn't be processed food or TV dinners. It should be natural and inexpensive. It's something we need to sustain life, not become obese while others are starving.

Yeah, it would have been easier to be raised to be healthy. But, we didn't. So, we do our best to make healthy choices now.

Please, please, please stick to a reasonable exercise routine and eating plan. An hour a day of exercise and 1600 calories is plenty and maintainable. Anything else is probably not, especially in the future if/when you have children and other responsbilities. Build lasting, lifelong habits.
