a new adventure

So I turned 25 this past year and some people say that's when your body starts going to crap. Well, being very "in shape" minded I refuse to let this happen. I started thinking about my eating habits, which SUCK! I came to the conclusion that although my metabolisim is still very high, it won't be like that forever. So, I decided that it would be better to start eating the right way now in order to make it easier on myself later in life.

I've always been exercise driven and highly active, so I don't really have to change all that much in that area. Although, I have toned down my workouts a little. See, I used to work out to get stronger and bigger for ball, but now it's more about maintaining what I have.

If you know me you might think that I'm crazy for going on a diet, but you have to realize that I'm never satisfied with my physique. I'm always trying to think of ways to get more toned. I like to look good for my wife, not to mention it's nice to look good on the beach!

Bodies are built in the kitchen. If you've never heard this then read it again, bc it's VERY true! You can workout all you want to, but if you keep eating crap food you will never meet your goals. It's all about sacrifice....what are you willing to give up? For me it's junkfood!!! I'm the type of person that has to have something sweet after a meal....it doesn't feel complete if I don't. I have to nip this in the bud. I also started drinking nothing but water and milk. I had to stick with 2% milk though to keep my sanity.....in my opinion 1% milk looks like 99% water and 1% milk.

I also am a candy connoisseur, mainly Reese cups....they are my nemesis! Gotta nip that one too. I've come to this conclusion; if it's not in my house it's a whole lot easier not to eat it! Easy solution.....stop bringing it home!

Anyways, if you want to help me out please pray that I keep my sanity without my sweets, and that I don't drive my wife crazy.

I'll close with a little advice that usually helps me when I'm tempted to eat something I know I shouldn't: picture the body that you want to have, and ask youself if that item is going to help you reach that goal.

That's it for now. I'll keep y'all posted.
