Breakfast of champions... or at least me ;-)

Changes...

Another diet lifestyle change:  

• Breakfast EVERY morning (even when I'm not hungry)
• Drink 8 glasses of water a day 
• Fried foods only twice a week
• Still no fast food

I've noticed I've become too busy to eat, weird for me I know!  I wake up, get dressed for work, go to work, and sometimes don't eat after I leave class.  My days are too long for me not to eat, but as long as I don't eat breakfast, I don't get hungry.  However, I know in order to gain energy and lose weight, I have to eat to speed up my metabolism.  I'm going to try my best to eat breakfast every morning, whether it's a bowl of cereal or toast and fruit.  This will be tough but I'm up for the challenge... I think...

Diet + Exercise

Diet + Exercise= Results is not an old wive's tale, but a realistic way to effectively train.  I hate to admit it, but, I can't eat whatever I want as long as I exercise because I know I don't burn enough calories to fight off a 1/2 pound hamburger with fried egg, bacon, ham, and cheese on top with chilly cheese fries and an orange pop.  

When I say "diet" I do not mean a quick weight loss strategic, I am referring to a daily eating pattern. A healthy diet and exercise will help me train for this race.  This is not a weight loss strategy, but more of a lifestyle change.  Therefore, I'm limiting myself to fast food twice a month or in emergency situations and limiting my fried food and red meat to twice a week.  

Realistically, I love all types of food, but if I want to run this race, I can't let a mass of unhealthy food weigh me down (literally).  :-)
