It took me a long time to figure out that diet plus exercise are both necessary for a healthy lifestyle plus body weight, then my parents, siblings, aunts, uncles plus cousins are all severely overweight, i grew up with popcorn such as potato chips, ice cream plus chocolate constantly accessible in the house! We ate sizable breakfasts that included bacon, sausage plus waffles… Dinners often consisted of fast food.
We went to McDonalds on a official basis plus often ordered pizza for supper, no one in my family ever engaged in physical activity or played any type of activitys, however because I was a chubby kid, I didn’t feel confident enough to try out for any of the university teams.
I was shy, self-conscious plus introverted. I had no clue how to go about losing weight or getting in shape. During university, I had access to free nutritional counseling & the gym… The counselor helped me a lot! She worked with me to develop a meal plan that I could live with. I gradually introduced more fruits plus vegetables into my diet plus eliminated fast foods, processed foods plus anything that was overly high in sugar. I began focusing more on including proteins, grains, vitamins plus minerals. I switched from drinking Starbucks Latte to water plus herbal tea. I also set up a workout schedule. I visited the gym four mornings per week for approximately 90 minutes, however on those days, I lifted weights, rode the stationary bike, diagnosed the heavy basket plus did lots of crunches, lunges plus squats. Two mornings per week, I ran around the track. I gradually increased my distance from one mile to six. I lost weight plus elevated my strength plus stamina. I’m now in my thirties plus continue a healthy lifestyle.
