On Weight Loss

Weight loss.

I think this is a fitting topic right now. It seems to be something everyone is thinking about.

So let's dive right in to this subject that we hate and love all at the same time.

First off, are you a dieter? Or maybe you are the non-dieting type?

Do you go to the gym for hours on the cardio machines, or are you a simple at-home exerciser?

Losing weight and eating right can be as simple or as complicated as you want it to be.

Here is my philosophy: get it right starting with your food. Then add simple exercise (between 20-25 minutes a day) on top of that and you WILL become healthier and happier.

While I do believe that the program I follow is right for me, I do not believe it is right for everyone. I think you have to do what motivates you. For me, simple is best. When it gets complicated, it becomes too much and I can't sustain it all.

Some people like to go to the gym and work out with other people working out around them. I used to feel that way, but since we can't afford that, I've found other ways to get around it.

I own free weights. I have a few different sets. I run outside. That's it. It's simple.

But seriously, here's what I really wanted to say with this rambling post:

...I'm going to yell it because it's really important...

THE KEY TO WEIGHT LOSS IS CONSISTENCY!!! IT'S SLOW AT FIRST,  THEN IT PICKS UP SPEED. BUT IF YOU GIVE UP, YOU WILL NEVER SEE THE SNOWBALL EFFECT THAT HAPPENS AS YOU PICK UP MOMENTUM AND YOU START TO SEE THE FRUITS OF YOUR LABOR.

So stick with it, whatever it may be. You are worth it.
