Don\'t Eat So Much!

The one we all hate the most!

Drink Water

This is one of those “everybody knows it but nobody does it” type of things. There are so many arguments for why you should drink water, but one of the ones I’ve held to for a long time now is that when I drink water, I don’t drink anything else. Water is one of the few drinks that has zero calories, unlike coffee, pop, or my favourite Chai Lattes. This means that throughout the day I can actually eat more, rather than wasting calories on a drink.

Ask For Help

In a span of about 3 months, I was able to lose 30 lb. Currently, I am starting back up again to lose another thirty. However, before people start saying “way to go, Pat. You’re awesome!” know that I did not do it on my own. First, I hired a personal trainer to help provide excellent guidance and encouragement for my exercise goals. I have gone from rarely being active to actively choosing to go for a run. Second, my girlfriend is pretty much a nutritional expert. She has helped me learn what types of foods to avoid, which to enjoy, and also learn the discipline of spacing out smaller meals throughout the day.

In my first month, I lost 15 lb.
The biggest things for me were working out and eating right.
By mid-January, I was down 25 lb.
From January until now I have lost 15 lb. There's been a lot of transition in my life which has made it a big more difficult, but I am still losing.
I've also taken up running, which I am hoping to continue with the summer months.
