Wake Up! Time to Diet!

[fatmaninAL]

I was one of those guys that enjoyed running and biking because I could moderately exercise on the weekends and summertime, then eat whatever I wanted. This flawed logic worked fine in my 20s and 30s, but now at 45, my weight has ballooned up to 215 lbs!

 

While searching for Paleo Diet recipes, I came across this site and was certainly intrigued.

 

Recently I've given up soda, pop tarts, and my afternoon snack of two handfuls of M&Ms. I've bought a Fitbit, Ninja mixer, and joined a gym.

 

Like many of you, I stare at a computer screen and sit in a cubicle most of the day. With the Fitbit I have been inspired to get up once an hour, climb a few stairs, and wander around outside pretending to hurriedly be on my way to a meeting.

 

I look forward to interacting with everyone on here, obtaining and giving encouragement whenever needed.

 

Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go for a quick walk.

Welcome aboard, hope you enjoyed your walk. It's great that you've started cleaning up your diet and getting more active. What do you want to do in the gym?

Ed! My man! I'm an office dweller too, and sometimes I find it hard to work in the gym. Which is when I pull out my sheet of these bad boys.

Some of them are easier to do than others while multitasking, but anything you can do on the job is better than doing nothing. A philosophy you seem to have already embraced, which is magnificent.

Did someone say walk?! Only 1 week left but you can still join the fellowship if you want to and I'll run it again next challenge
