So for the past 2 months I've been telling myself that I was going to start exercising rigorously and eating food that is healthy and less fattening. The result? I crave fast food more than ever and I go to the gym every once in a while. That wasn't what I had in mind. But what do you do when you have no willpower when it comes to food? Research. Did you know that 1/4 of a cantaloupe is around 70 calories? 1/4 of a bag of cheese-balls is 150. That certainly changes my perspective.
Being healthy with someone else actually helps too! My friend Pam and I tried to go on this crazy meal & exercise plan that a coworker of ours suggested. Operation was a no-go. Worst day ever, but what I learned from that was that not every exercise plan works for everybody. Instead of making a huge change that my body will not tolerate (unseasoned chicken and a sweet potato are not going to cut it for me) I am just going to upgrade to healthy foods that are good and good for me.
Don't get the wrong idea and think that I'm one of those girls that's obsessed with their weight, it's not anything like that. I am just realizing that cheeseburgers and chipotle are not the way to go if I want to live a healthy lifestyle. So as this process continues if I encounter any exercises, tips, or good recipes that help along the way, I'll post about them in hopes that it helps somebody out there.
