Hump day...yay

I tried a new podcast today called Fit2Fat from Fit2FatRadio.com. Let me just say that it is the best weight loss podcast I have ever heard. Tons of great tips, info, advice and facts to help educate those trying to lose weight. They do not give fad diet tips, only healthy sensible info. I only downloaded four episodes, but tonight I downloaded 50 out of the 100+ that they have made. In the four I listened to they covered facts of diet sodas and their effect on weight loss, workout facts regarding different types of exercises, good and bad of weight loss centers and plans that people pay to use. The two guys have great information, pleasant radio personalities and have dealt with weight problems themselves. They do not preach avoiding any food. Basically, eat like a thin person would eat and exercise. Don't over-cut your calories and watch portion sizes. I am going to get back to keeping a eating journal as they recommend. I recommend anyone trying to lose weight to go to ITunes and download the podcasts.

As of yesterday I have changed my eating habits. No more sausages, fried burgers or wings. I am getting back to the traditionally recommended eating plan. I am going to cut my portions to skinny people size, limit bread and sugar still, eat more veggies, drink more water and do all I can to go for a 30 minute walk each day. Two of my co-workers are considering going vegan until our contest at work ends. I considered it, but that would be about like a fad diet for me. The key is for me to change my eating habits to something I can permanently follow...and vegan is not for me. I went to the store tonight and got broccoli, cauliflower, apples, oranges, celery and some fish filets to bake. I figure egg whites, chicken breasts and fish will be my protein. Light string cheese, yogurt and skim milk will be my dairy. I will include beans, brown rice, salads and lite soups to complete healthy meal options. Instead of sugar free candies and puddings, I will be eating apples and oranges, along with other fruits.

I guess that's all I got for today. It's late and work comes early. More to come later friends!
