Summer is much funner when its cool out....

So hey there, yes summer is almost here and we have a lot of things to do. Summer in NYC is probably some of the best times of the year for everyone, and what better way to celebrate this than with the best health ever? Yea yea yea I know this has been said and done before but I must say not by me. I remember the last time I exercised was when I was 18, yea I'm not that proud either but, hey, life happens.

So I started a new schedule which is gonna involve some exercising. I planned on toning up and getting fit and doing all the things needed to stay healthy and alert, trust me in my line of work I need it.

I have decided to follow some simple rules to a better living.


I happen to be reading a magazine at work the other day (yes I read them too once in a while) and I came across some pointers from Bob Harper. Things that are pretty doable, seeing as though I am not an exercise enthusiast and want to stay fit with as little pressure and pain as possible. I think this might just work and I'm gonna stick with this for the next month and if I see results then maybe, and a very big MAYBE, I will stick to a health plan. I mean, I am getting closer to the hump.lol. 35 i.e.


By Bob Harper

1) Drink a large glass of water first thing in the morning and before every meal. No excuses. It helps digestion and metabolism and its great for your skin.

2) Eat lean protein at every meal (fish, chicken, eggs). Eggs are quick and easy. I have to say that I did this yesterday and I was starving afterward, but I gotta stay focused.

3)Dedicate one day a week to "meatless day"-no animal protein whatsoever. Focus on having more greens, you're never going to gain weigh from eating vegetables.

4)Go to bed hungry (ok ok so I have to admit that this is gonna be the one that sucks the most seeing as though I love to eat right before I sleep. Its just something that I've grown accustom to. It gives me great joy). Get on a routine so you don't have any food in your system at least three hours before you hit the sack. After five hours your body will burn its own fat and sugar. Yay! I guess.

5) Eat berries and apples everyday. APPLES URGH! They are high in fibers and antioxidants. The more fiber you eat, the more satisfied your body will be.


So there you have it folks, I am gonna do the amazing. Something I haven't done in over 15 years. Wish me luck and I will post pictures and keep you guys updated on the progress. Lets see what this body can do come June 30, yea I did start a few days ago.

Nite! And remember go to bed hungry, ha ha ha
Sleepless.
