Diet and Exercise
Okay, I admit it - I'm fat. Nothing too shocking there, but it's still good to say it. I've known this for a while now. I've said that I was going to do something about it before, but never with too much conviction. Well guess what, I'm doing to do something about it (feel free to imagine the conviction in my voice). Before, when I would try to do something about it, I would setup complicated workout routines, and diet solutions - this time I'm using a different approach, nice and simple (K.I.S.S - Keep It Simple Stupid). Simple seems to work, when I started exercising I weighed 223lb, as of today I weigh 215lb (217lb after a shower), I've lost about eight pounds in two weeks.
Exercise
First thing is first, I decided to exercise. Rather than a complicated list of what exercises to do on what day, I decided to do all of my exercises everyday. Simple. I have a set of eight exercises (not counting walking) that I do every work day when I get up. The total workout time is about 35 minutes. I started this on the last day of April, I'm still going and getting stronger everyday. I push myself when I exercise, but not to the point of exhaustion, I think that is the key for me.
Diet
I started exercising first, and I started a diet second. The reason for this is because I needed to make sure that I would stick with what I was doing, rather than letting it fall away.
Many diets focus on what you can and can't eat, or how many calories you take in. I'm sure each has it's advantages, and it's disadvantages - but one thing each have in common, they are not truly simple. So I decided to go with the most simple diet plan I could find, the No-S Diet. It has three rules, and one exception, can't get any more simple than that. I started the diet on 10-May, so I'm still young on it, but it so far has been rather easy to follow. It would be easier if I didn't have someone trying to shove half of a Hostess Cup Cake in my mouth.
