I think that the majority of us can say that we have spent a lot of time in the past 10 years trying out ideas for losing weight that seemed healthy at first. I realized this weekend that I have put my body through a horrible ordeal over the last 10 years. I have abused it by constantly changing my dieting habits. Starve one minute. Gorge the next. No meats this month. No carbs the next. No sugars the next. It is no wonder that I ache when I walk and that my behind end feels like an extra person trailing behind me. I was thinking about this all weekend and decided that it must be time to go back to basics. First I need to do a basic exercise program that requires nothing more than me walking from point A to point B. This will be my effort to loosen up my body and joints and make it easier for me to add more strenuous things later. The next thing I did was research Orovo and a few other places looking for healthy supplements for my diet. No matter how I try I have to accept that I will be missing something and so supplements will help to fill the gap. The problem is that in the past I would have chosen something that was not healthy for me and was merely focused on revving up my metabolism so I could lose weight. With the idea being health and the byproduct being weight-loss then I have to chose products that are healthy above all else. I also have committed to drinking water as my main source of liquids and hydration. I will have caffeine free, sugar free iced tea as my beverage with meals so that I will get taste without loading up on the extra sugars and calories. Finally my diet will change to include fun, crisp veggies and high protein fish and chicken with red meats being cut back to once a week. I am tired of feeling old before my time.
