How I’m Losing Weight

I’m losing weight by eating a balanced diet of lean meats, fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. I (try to) keep sweets, junk food, fast food, fried foods, alcohol, and binging to a minimum. I do have a set calorie limit for each day, but it changes as my weight reduces.

I see Sonthe (aka Greek Momma) (dietitian) on a weekly basis for nutrition counseling and progress tracking. I also see Dr. Dan Bowman, a psychologist, on a bi-weekly basis.

I also drink at least 64oz. of water every day and drink as much black coffee as I want. I stay away from sugary drinks like regular soda and sweet tea. Occasionally, I will have a diet soda.

I exercise often, and my exercise of choice is running. I have another blog, Aspiring Runner, that documents my journey to becoming a runner. I have some wonderful folks that assist me in the fitness department: Danny Haralson (running coach), Any Time Fitness Vestavia Hills, AL, Anytime Fitness/Anytime Health, and YMCA.

TRUST ME, the MOST IMPORTANT thing you can do is MOVE EVERY DAY! Start out by doing what you can, maybe walking (that’s how I started), and keep doing it every day. Your distance and speed will increase rapidly….

The HOW in how I’m losing weight is not “rocket surgery” as Danny Haralson will say.
