One of the biggest obstacles people have is avoiding the real exercise and the real dieting.  You walk around the gym and do a few stretches, lift some weights, and maybe play in the pool if you’re feeling adventurous but you don’t do any heavy lifting (and I mean that figuratively).  Stop avoiding the treadmill and attack it.  Attack sit-ups.  Attack the rotex machine.  This cardio is the key to losing weight.

Sweat your ass off.  You aren’t going to lose weight lifting weights or splashing around in the pool.  Could you get stronger?  Of course.  Can having more muscle help you burn calories?  Yes.  But right now this is not what you need.  You need to get some good old fashion walking or jogging and start getting those sweat glands working.

You don’t have to have a warrior workout.  Just make it an effort.  Don’t talk to anyone.  Don’t read a magazine.   Put your headphones on.  Listen to the music that pumps you up the most.  Think about why you want to lose weight and do it.

There is no magical trick where one day your in shape.  Being in shape and losing weight. comes from living that type of lifestyle.  It’s a way of living thing, not a trick like infomercials would have you believe.

You can start as slow as you want.  All you need to do is put in a diligent effort and dedication to getting a nice healthy cardio exercise 5-6 times a week.  Its not as bad as you make it out to be.  Just work out 30 minutes in the morning.  That’s your start.  Walk, jog, bike - whatever you want.  Just have a good workout and feel good about it.

Next blog will be a huge way to lose weight that you know about and need to read again because it is super helpful.

I love the microwave pizzas.  Both the South Beach Diet and Lean Cuisine taste good to me while offering low calories, low fat, and high protein.  I think most kinds are about 330 calories and 100 calories from fat while offering 26g of protein.  Pepporoni, three meats, chicken and spinach, and three cheese are my favorites.  At $2.50 - $3.50 apiece depending where you’re at, these pizzas are economical in addition to being great sources of necessary nutrients.  Fast, cheap, tastes good, and is ok for you.  These are winning combos for me.  Take these two work or school and just put them in the microwave for 2:50.

I do a lot of work on the computer.  In fact, I do too much work on the computer.  I’m on my summer break trying to generate some more revenue but the bad thing is my sleeping schedule is messed up and I’m working out 1/2 the time I used to.  Well that stops today.  I’m going to go to the local middle school football yard and running sprints.  I’m also going to do some pushups, jump rope, and curls to get some all around workout in me.  Once you start getting in better shape, you can’t let it go, you just can’t.  The mountain can make you pause sometimes, but never stop.
