Easy outs

Today has been awesome! I finally after a year of trying got my ass outta bed at 3:45 in the morning, laced up my shoes and I ran, before work!! Wow does my body not like to move that early. Going to try and make it a habbit though. It is so hot in the afternoon after work that I can't get in a good hard run without having a heat stroke. 105* is just to hot.

While I was running I was thinking. Which is something I don't often do, while running that is. It would be scary to see a brain wave study during a run because there is nothing going on up the. Half the time my music is blaring but I don't even hear the words. Anyway this isn't about what is not going on inside my head. I was thinking about all of the things that I have tried prior to lifestyle changes to lose weight, fat blockers(these made you have squirty farts) yes it was embarassing, carb burners(I never really knew what these did), starving...well that really never worked cuz I'd only starve a couple hours before I binged so I guess that wasn't really starving, I tried to make myself throw up a couple time after a binge( I don't know how an anorexic does it cuz I never could make myself throw up), detox wraps that will shrink your cells but the scale never changes and it cost more than a weeks worth of groceries to do it...all of these always ended up resorting back to eating what ever I wanted and binges. So what is it that makes people take the plunge and do it the hard way?

There are so many people, like me, who I'd just like to smack up side the head. They would just assune take these pills that block the fat from being absorbed into their body and side effect is having a rectal discharge that you have to wear a pad to protect yourself from the whole world thinking you shit yourself. Why not just simplify it, DON'T EAT THE FAT TO BEGIN WITH! Wow what a concept. Don't eat the fat, no squirts, actually healthier functioning bowels, lower cholesterol, lower risk of heart disease, stroke, heart attack, fatty liver, ect. Really? Yes, it does work that way.

If you really truely are ready to make a change, it is time to do it the only way that will work and work long term. Healthy diet and regular exercise. That's it. No special chemical formulas, pills, cleanses, detoxes, wraps or meal replacements.

Just food.

If you noticed, I did not weigh in publicly on Monday. I drank a lot of beer Saturday night and yes beer, myself and the scale don't get along so well. But I like to drink it now and then. I'll report come next Monday.

It has been 9 days since I have had sugar and I am feeling pretty good. It was super easy for me to say no today to ice cream brownie sundays at work. Some people can have these things in moderation. I can't. Everyone is a little different and to be successful you must learn how you and your body work.

Heres to another great day tomorrow!!
