kelly's diary

Hey Happychubette:)

I thought I might come by and say thank you very much for the support. I know I've been more or less a wallflower in here as of late, but reading your diary really motivated me to hang in there. Your self discovery and philosophic input really gave me something to think about. And from feeling beside myself for so long, you made me realize how important it is not to loose your self. Like you said in you very first entry: I will not postpone feeling amazing. And you might as well have fun while you figure everything out. So thank you for cheering me up and keep up the great work:)
 
Its morning and I have the blahs, like there's a big task before me and I need to get on with it. I will feel so much better when I'm through. I said I'd go gardening but its misty raining out. Maybe I'll feel better in a little while...
 
I know why I feel crummy. I need to eat, get some food in to my belly, wash and get dressed and then reassess. Things will look brighter then.
 
Weight loss for a man isn't really too different then weight loss for a woman. When it comes down to it, all of the same things are entailed, it's just guys usually have different habits then the ladies. What we are going to talk about right now are the few things that you can start doing that will increase your success level for weight loss.

Bad habits will have to die hard in order to succeed in this health race. Most of us know the habits I am talking about, but for those who don't, I will list a couple off as examples. Fast food lunches instead of home made lunches, and another is drinking beer. Now, I'm not saying you need to cut them out all together, just try and limit them. A way to help limit the habits is having better alternatives around. Like I said above, pack a lunch for work, if you have one made there will be no reason to go get fast food. Usually a lot of our unhealthy choices come from not being prepared and organized.

This brings us to our next topic, be organized. No, this doesn't mean that if you have a clean organized home you will lose weight. What I mean is that having stuff written down and getting certain things prepared will help you succeed. Have the health and fitness related things that you want accomplished written down on paper. If you are going to make lunches for yourself everyday in the week, make sure and be prepared enough to have all the food you will need to make those lunches. You are probably thinking, well this stuff is easy. The truth is that weight loss for a man is easy. In order to make it work though, you need to be consistent.

Which takes us to our last point, stay committed and positive. You may not see results within a week, don't get discouraged. If you stay committed and keep a positive mind the results will come. Use these simple concepts and you will find yourself on the road to good health and feeling better. There will be days where you feel you need junk food, or you think that eating healthy is too hard. Days like those are where you need to take control and follow through with what you want to accomplish and achieve. Stay positive and you will see the results you are looking for.

The majority of all people over look the final thing I would like to share. Again, it is something very simple, but can also affect the weight loss for a man. Water! Try and drink your daily body requirements of water. Your body will thank you for it.[Link Removed]

I did my gardening, earned my milk money for the day and now I am totally kicking myself in the butt to get out the door for a dare I say it, a jog. Haven't been out in a while.

Reading Ultramarathon Man, about a guy who not only ran a 50 and a 100 mile race, but also 200 miles. Haven't got to that part yet.

Endurance is relative.
 
Hi Kelly. I hate that no particular reason for it "blah" feeling...hoping your jog chases it away:) Happy (almost) Easter.
 
I just had the best run ever. Strapped the girls in good and tight and started right away up a hill and continued. Ran my first mile non-stop. Finished it for you guys. Walked long enough to change my cd and ran another mile. Huh, that felt pretty good, so I went some more. 1 hr 15 minutes and a solid 60 minute jog. Reading about the marathon man helped.

Never discount the possibility of a quick turnaround when things are looking dim.

I'm starting to feel gooooooooood.

Gonna roast some vegetables tonight, parsnips, sweet potato, asparagus, broccoli, brussel sprouts, everything, in a little olive oil.

Thank you everybody for stopping in. You helped make my day. Love you.
 
That's so awesome Kelly! I've been getting into the jogging mood, and my body can take it a little, but my asthma keeps getting in the way. It's really a great pick-me-up, isn't it?!! :)
