I am almost 200 lbs. and absolutely nobody believes me but it’s the TRUTH. Why would I tell a lie about weighing that dang much! I am healthy as an Ox.

 What I have learned is that the scale is a tool but not your only tool. I eat VERY well never DIET! Meat is eliminated 95% because I will suck down a wing or two when I hang out with the girls.

 I fry food in my home no more than 4 times a year. I don’t buy soda or bread for me to eat anyway. Drink plenty of water, get proper rest and try not to stress. Lots of fruit and raw veggies!! No dairy ewww gives me gas big time!

 Most importantly, whether I feel like it or not I get off my lazy arse and jog 2, 3 miles outdoors or 5 miles on a treadmill. I do crunches, squats and lift light weights…Trust me I skip days but I always do SOMETHING even if it’s just a 30-40 minute brisk walk. The weight would not leave me because it was mostly muscle all the time. I whipped the fat into shape and made it work for me!

 No plastic surgery is EVER necessary if you decide to make a change in becoming more active and eating right. Don’t be LAZY or keep making excuses. I can’t tell a lie…I hate the idea of working out and actually getting outside to jog but love the results and the feeling I get afterwards. (when I am not sore)

 At the age of 41 there is no time to think about working out or eating right because now it’s between life and death. I will not become diabetic or suffer from heart disease just from being lazy.

 However, there are some folks who are predisposed to those diseases and those are the people who really should take exercise and eating right seriously. One life! Let’s do this thing right…Get up, get out and do something!
