Getting Fit

I’m not trying any of the latest crash diets, supplements, or any other techniques. All I’m doing is cutting my calories and saying no to junk food, fast food, and candy. I am going to have a problem giving up soda though. I love Mountain Dew the most. And I think that diet anything tastes like crap. But that’s just my opinion. I've been drinking just one can of soda a day and I'm still losing weight. I’m trying to get in all of the food groups every day because I know it will enable me to have more energy.


I walked 2 miles today at a brisk pace just to help get into a routine. I walked on the sweetser switch trail, which is west of marion. It’s nicer than most trails around here. It may only be 3.5 miles long, but it’s tranquil compared to most. I’m gonna start biking tomorrow. I think I’ve figured out a good route to take that utilizes not only the switch trail, but also some low traffic country roads. I'll post a map of it. I think it’s finally warm enough (at least tolerable enough) to start biking. My overall goal is to lose at least 50 lbs before June 1st. I know it sounds like an unreasonable goal, but I believe that we can push ourselves to accomplish just about anything if we put our minds to it.
