Eating Healthly.

I dont have a good diet but I dont eat seriously crappy crap mainly because just a little makes me feel sick, if you can make your mind associate crappy food with crappy feelings and horrible expieriences then you're less likely to want it, for instance I was once sick after eating a chocolate bar and I very rarely eat chocolate bars now and I find it very easy not to because i just get nausious(sp?) after a few bites.

I eat what ever I want but Im still in average shape simply because I work out like a crazy mother er every night in my basement.

Shrink portions. That's soemthing I need to work on. Hell today for lunch I ate something better. I had two baked potatoes and a Snapple. Might have a yogurt now. Looks like today starts my offcial diet.

And oh no way am I like that pic... and no I wouldn't want to date that. lol

I weigh around 160 I think, But still, I feel bad and have a bit of a tummy here.

It's best to eat 5-6 small meals throughout the day. It helps keep your metabolism level. I've always been into exercise since I was a teenager and now with my job, so eating healthy is a part of my life. I do eat junk food as well, just not all the time.

yea it's definetly not easy to always stay healthy...just eating enough in a day is hard for me because of being outta my house so much and not wanting to eat fast food.

All I pretty much eat is stuff like turkey, chicken, fish, shrimp, crabs, and pretzels. It works for me really well.

I drink ice tea AND water at every meal.

If I want a snack, I eat sunflower seeds, cheerios, grapes, granola bars....even the smores, peanut butter, and chocolate chip ones are better for you than a candy bar.

I eat sandwiches for lunch everyday. ham and turkey with red onion and yellow mustard on a hamburger roll. Two of those everyday.

If I start dying during the day like I really want to eat something. I eat a "Pure Protein" chocolate peanut butter bar. It's 190 calories, 6 grams of fat and 20 grams of protein....no trans fat and only grams of sugar. It TASTES like a candy bar but its good for you and has muscle building protein. And it makes me not hungry for a long time.

I've now eaten very wisely throughout the course of the day, I can now eat whatever I want at night. I can have pizza on Friday watching the game. Mostly I eat chicken, rice and broccoli a few times a week, Wednesday is pasta night, Thursday usually some kind of vegetable soup.

I also do a lot of running and throwing as part of my baseball work out plan. I play tennis, and a lot of guys may think it's "gay" or whatever, but I had an ex-gf who got me into some really basic yoga and thats helped me strengthen a lot of muscles in my back and legs that used to hurt and be my "excuse" not to exercise when I was in pain.

It's all about finding what works for you...what I have outlines above is what WORKS FOR ME. I know in most cases, you just feel hungry, it happens to me. In college McDonald's is cheap and easy to get. You can get 4 cheeseburgers for less money than a head of brocolli....its EXPENSIVE to eat healthy. It's just something that I feel is personally important to me, that is my motivation.

I got a heavy bag and some boxing gloves and do that for an hour a day. It is fun and burns calories if you want to spend the money to get it set up. It cost me about $130 to set it up but it is cheaper than joining a Gym.

That'd be quite interesting actually.



Anyway,

As for my story... well.. Im just fat.

Nah, i get a bit of depression here and there that makes me feel like doing nothing with my life.


But yeah, as of late (the past week and a half i'd say) i have been doing light exercising. I haven't got anything really done yet. I've been doing "toning" exercises (in other words, i've been doing very little but 'crunches' and basic leg exercises) until i feel sore. then i stop for a minute, and start back at it til it hurts again, and repeat til i get bored (i usually dedicate an hour every two days to pretending to work out. I lie to myself even)


I havent noticed any results (even though i've barely tried) so now im blaming it on the food i eat. I used to eat a lot of crap. i mean, a LOT of crap. So im gonna slowly work that out of my diet. Im by no means gonna starve myself. Chips (or fries, as i think you Americans call them) and chops with some pepper sauce is my usual main meal. aside from that i've just been eating dry toast and other little things like rolls with ham, tomato, etc. in them.


I'm "Straight Edge" (even though i dont like CM Punk) so all i drink really is tea. But, in saying that, i drink a LOT of tea. Im constantly drinking it. but i dont see the harm in drinking too much tea, so im not bothered about cutting that out.


Other than that i'll invest some money into some basic weights and use them.


Hopefully in a month or so i'll have a body similar to John Cena's. If not i'll just give up again
