Always a Struggle

It seems that dieting and exercising has always been a struggle with me. I am not fat but I am not thin either. I like to think of myself as chunky. Although, that does not sound cute at all, but I like it better than over weight or fat.

I started this blog to keep track of what I am doing as far as my diet and exercise plans are concerned.

I hope to get healthier. I think that is the biggest mistake that people make when they diet and exercise. They focus on getting thin and not making that change. Being thin is a life style change. You have to change your way of living.

-Eating out leads to over weight. Resturants put things into your food that you normally wouldn't use at home.

-Eating while your bored....This leads to overweight...You have to find things to do...Read, surf the net, watch a good movie, get out of the house, etc. Things you once did, you have to change. You can no longer sit and veg, you have to do something different.

-Make it a habit...Making a habit to drink water over over beverages will help save calories as well as serving your body well.

-Food choices. You can no longer eat chocolate cake all the time...Eating a fruit or vegetable will help your body get the vitamins and nutrients it needs as well as make a huge difference in your calorie intake.

-Get moving. Sitting around the house not doing a thing will get you nowhere but fat! Get up, get moving, clean house, wash dishes, fold clothes...Doing just house hold chores will not only keep your home clean but also help your body burn calories.

Goals...Make a small goal and stick to it. You will feel a lot better if you make a 5lb goal than miss a 15lb goal.

This is why My blog is named Losing it One Pound at a Time...Small steps, they will win this race!
