How a lazy person loses weight.


So strangely enough, without really trying to any extreme, I've lost 2 pounds.  Not bad for day 3 of the new year.  Technically I've lost a pound a day because I gained one back, then lost it again.  Down to 217.  Last year this time I was around 260-270, so I'm kicking it good.

I intended to add Air Squats, Push-Ups and weights to my daily routine, but so far I've only upped my walking steps to around 12-13K a day instead of the usual 10K.  Don't know why I'm fighting the new routine.  Hopefully tomorrow, I will either lose another pound or maintain my current 217 since I had a Martin's Steak & Egg biscuit for breakfast this morning and 2 truffles for lunch.  Bad fat.

But, tomorrow is another chance to get it right.  Heard today that it takes 21 days to create a habit and 6 months to make it part of your personality.   So, 10 minutes a day on the elliptical is now part of my personality.

Friend at work mentioned she was very proud of me.  I told her that it's a miracle because I am one the world's laziest people and will find the easiest way to lose weight due to my personality.   Or, finding the most logical way of doing it for me so that I can spend what time I have on Earth left doing what I want.  Losing the weight and getting in shape means I might last beyond the usual 65-75 years.

However, I wonder if I should be following a certain type of diet.  On GMA they said the best diets are Mediterranean and DASH.  Seeing how I love to eat all types of food, I rather watch caloric intake and manage my sugars so I don't miss out on something YUMMY! 

Having said that, you gotta find what works for your body.  It might be KETO or DASH or Weight Watchers.  Me:  myfitnesspal.com, 10+ thousand steps & 10 minutes on the elliptical and sex 4 times a week.

Eat less, move more.  You can do this.  Let 2018 be all about YOU!
