I Feel Like Crap, Time to Diet, Workout & Get Healthy
So, I just got back from vacationing in Hawaii and overate, over-drank and over-relaxed. About halfway through the vacation I could start to feel my shirts getting tighter around my belly, “Oy Vey!”
The Holidays are over, there are no vacations in the near future and spring is only 3 months away, so this is a perfect time to kick off a new diet and fitness program. I have done all types of dieting, lifting and cardio in the past and I have lost hundreds of pounds over the years. Unfortunately, I usually start slacking and return to my old ways of overeating and being lazy so I end up where I am now.
This time I am going to do something a little different. I am going to lay down some rules and put them in writing for all to see.
