Healthy and wise

     I am in no way shape or form an expert on weight loss. But I can tell you a few things that do not work: laxatives, binge diets, fad diets, and laying on the couch. I have done them all. Sure some of the things I listed might work for awhile but in the end you will either wind up unhealthy or gain your weight back. I think the only true way to weight loss is through eating healthy and working out. And when I say eating healthy I don't mean starving yourself. I am totally in love with My Fitness Pal. It not only keeps me on track to not go over my calories it also keeps me on track to not go under. My weight loss is about being healthy and being under calories is just as detrimental to my health as being over. I also keep a count of my sodium intake and my fat intake. Having a high sodium and fat intake is in no way shape or form good for my heart. I have switched my focus to making sure ALL of my calories provide the correct amount of fat, sodium, carbs, etc. Binge eating my way through weight loss is also no longer an option for me. I used to be the world's worst about saving all of my calories to one meal a day. All that does is overload your system. Sure you might have weight loss results from doing this but shoot you can lose weight by smoking crack but it doesn't mean its healthy. Anywho! I have a busy day planned for today which includes hitting the gym even if its for a little while. I am not in a competition with others just myself. If the chick on the treadmill next to me is running 100 mph and has ran 10 miles I care not. All I care about is beating my own record. She will go home satisfied with her time and distance and so will I. Even if all I can do is 10 minutes. I still did 10 minutes.
