Winwaloeus Posted August 24, 2015 Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 Hi everyone I've Been reading the NF blog for a few weeks now, i've got to admit i'm pretty enthusiastic about its philosophy... without even mentionning the nerd aspect ! So i decided to hop in the community and by introducing myself a year ago, following my break up with my wife, i fell into every comfort food and bad habits you can think, with an additional serving of no sport at all. My weight took off to a good 227lbs, which had me in an absolute distress. So I decided i could no longer afford myself to slowly turn into Jabba The Hut. I wandered around the web a lot to find a path that could fit me, something i could see myself begin with. That's where i discovered the paleo diet principles. As for now, i'm not planning on going a 100% paleo, but i took on a few basic principles that seemed to make a lot of sense to me, and i've been following them for more than a month. - Only water : i cut drastically everything soda-like, even the so-called "zero" ones, and juices. Only water i tell you ! To be honest, i allow myself the occasional glass of cider during family meetings, since i know it's a oneshot. - Watch out for the carbs !! i abandoned bread (which i surprisingly don't miss at all), switched to eggs and bacon breakfasts (that one was easier than i thought too), cut the pasta and Co and replaced it with lots of vegetables i'm learning to cook myself... i got rid of all the industrial food i could find at my place - Move slowly, but move ! Being overweight, i could not represent myself running all over the countryside on the very next morning. So i started by doing moderate 2-3 hours hikes along the beautiful river next to my home. Actually found i had fully functioning legs (!!), add optional walks during my working days... and it felt good ! i've started a beginner's running plan two weeks ago, did not failed it yet ! Thinking of walking to Mordor now since i found Steve's post on the subject... So in 5 weeks i lost 17.6 lbs (last step on the scale last saturday). Not effortlessly, but it was not that impossible challenge i imagined it would be before i started it, even during the holidays with their tempting ice-creams. One of the best advice i got on the blog : habits takes roughly one month to build... seems to be the plain truth ! But now, to move on, i think i need more structure... and fun ! i'm seriously thinking to have a take on my first six week challenge, i'm just figuring out my present SMART goals before . anyway glad i'm here, i'm looking forward to chat with you guys.
