We, as people, know we are suppose to eat healthy and exercise at least 30 minutes a day to lead a healthy life style, not so hard right? If that is all it takes, then why are there so many unhealthy people, us included? What is so hard about getting 30 minutes of exercise a day? Because we all work long hours and when we, people, get home the last thing we want to do is exercise. But in reality we, people, all sit in front of the T.V. for at least an hour a day watching our favorite show, why not just DVR our favorite show and exercise for 30 minutes, just think how many commercials you can loop through! We also all know that we are suppose to eat at least 3 balanced meals a day, balance meaning correctly proportioned foods from the 5 major food groups. What is so hard about that? Once again long hours at work, trying to exercise for 30 minutes a day, and then trying to find energy to come home and cook a balanced meal. Man fast food or box meals are so much faster not to mention convenient!
That my friends is the story of our lives. So on Saturday May 8, 2010, Mike and I decided we were done with being unhealthy, it was time to make a change. So we got rid of all the things in our house that were our biggest temptations and went to the store. We bought some Slim Fast to help start are diet plan and also to help get some weight off of us so it would be easier to exercise and shopped on the outside perimeter of the store, that being where all the healthy food is. Then after coming home and putting all the food away, we went for a run.
I have to admit that this is not our first time experiencing this "change of heart" but, for some reason this time felt different. We started our Slim Fast diet Sunday May 9, 2010 and followed it really well for 2 weeks, then we went on a cruise and everybody knows that a cruise is instant death to any diet. But for those 2 weeks we ate only 1500 calories and ran at least 3 times per week. So I have to admit, so far so good!
