Though not that fat nor lazy or even really a geek, I have been mostly sitting at a computer since late 1995 and could use a bit of an upgrade…
I am just short of 6 feet tall and 195 pounds, which is down 10 from when I decided I was getting a bit old to be eating fast food three meals a day about six months ago.
I haven’t actually started working out yet but I did buy some equipment, change my diet, and started taking some vitamins and supplements.
I now take AM and PM multi-vitamins, Greens+ twice a day, and fish oils twice a day. Additionally, I have cut out most fast food and poorly prepared and fatty foods.
I have a fresh fruit protein shake for breakfast, and a light lunch and dinner.
Just this little amount has increased my energy levels by at least three times, improved my mood, and decreased the amount of sleep that my body thought it required.
I no longer have problems getting up in the morning, nor getting to sleep at night. I’m now sleeping 5 to 7 hours a night and feel great and have ample energy to get through the day and to keep up with my new physically demanding girlfriend.
I am not going to post pictures but will update my progress throughout the process. This week I’m starting cardio! (Not bad since I bought exercise equipment over six months ago intending on working out…)
