The last few months have been a hell of ride for me. I am officially on what some would call a diet. I don’t really see it as a diet though because I am eating what I like to eat but doing so in moderation. I have made some restrictions for myself though. I no longer drink regular soda (have you seen how much sugar and carbs a can of this stuff has?). Instead when I get the urge I get Coke Zero which by the way has a similar taste to Mexican Coke. Eh, maybe it’s just me. It tastes better than Diet Coke that’s for sure. I have greatly, greatly restricted my sugar intake. Every morning I get up at 5 a.m. and run for about an hour. I’ve started drinking green tea instead of Starbucks. There’s something about green tea that is damn good. It takes a while though to get used to the taste but you learn to love it.
In a matter of months I have dropped about 35 lbs. My weight now is 215 lbs. Some of my pants don’t fit anymore. I’m wearing khakis to work that look more like cholo style dickies…all loose in the butt. Anyhow, my secret (or can it be simply called common sense) is limiting my carb and sugar intake as well as limiting foods that are high in fat and of course exercising a lot.
I’m still far away from my goal of getting back to my high school weight of 175 lbs. but the good thing is that I am on the way.
