I’ve had an amazing past couple of weeks. I’ve finally buckled down on my diet and I’m for real this time. It is not a chore anymore (hey that rhymes). Eatting better truely does change everything, from mood, energy, to most importantly weight loss. I was eatting "healthy" before but I was consuming way too many carbs. Carbs are just so easy and quick. But I decided to finally put the work in to preparing better meals and taking to time to consume more protein. It is actually working this time. I always worked hard in the gym but then would mess it all up with my diet. Now the two are working together. I also have a new routine in the gym and I really like it and I’m seeing results. My legs are getting harder, I’m starting to see muscle in my back which I have never had and I have some true biceps. I have found a new love in the gym, it is called the stair mill. Holy crap, this thing makes you sweat. I’m am drenched by the time I’m done and there is sweat all over the machine. It’s gross but talk about cleansing the body. I don’t sweat this much doing anything else. I love it. So far since starting my new "lifestyle diet" I have lost 3 lbs in two weeks. This is the most progress I’ve made in a long time. I’m very excited and very fired up. Instead of blogging about doing it, I’m doing it and I’m so happy.

Wow! that is great to hear! See, that’s been my downfall-diet! i would kick butt in the gym, but my diet would undo all my hard work! It does take alooot of time to prepare meals, so you have ‘em ready and on hand! I’m the process of just getting it all back together. i start do well, then stop, so forth and so on. my workouts have been less then amazing! they use to be full of fire and determination..now, it’s just like, i’m tired…ready to GO! I love the stepper! I’m scared of the step mill! lol! I’ve taken out most of my carbs, but i didn’t eat enough yesterday, woke up at midnight and had a danish, well-no more! 63g of carbs!!! are you kidding!

That’s so great. I too have no problem working out but eating right has been a challenge. But, it is AMAZING how much better you feel when you eat healthy, just like you said. Congrats on the weight loss and cheers to feeling good!
