Today started day one of my true beginning of a new diet. As I told you yesterday, I am going on a pizza strike. Not only a pizza strike, but all bad foods strike. I had a lot of time to think about life things this weekend and my health was what on my mind a lot. I realized that the way I am living, I won’t be living as long as I want to, unless I make some serious lifestyle changes. I was able to do this a few years back and lost a lot of weight and had my A1C under 6.5 for a year straight. I haven’t done that since, about 2-3 years. The number one goal of mine for the rest of this month and then April as well is to pack a lunch everyday. This part is easy because I create 5 inividual lunches every Sunday for the week, but I don’t always bring them, or when I do, I decide that I don’t feel like eating it. Too bad, I’m eating it!
This is also a way to save money because I am not getting any younger. There are plenty of things that I need in life that are more important than going out and buying a slice of pizza or a sub for lunch. I am 100% totally dedicated to the diet and lifestyle changes this time. Previous times that I did this, I was not as dedicated and it was just a half-ass effort, not anymore.
Today is day one, and tomorrow will be day two and that is exactly how I have to look at it. Eventually it will be day 365 and I will have lost about 40 pounds.
Have a great Monday everybody.
