Monday May 4th – (Healthy Tip of the Week)
Hey guys,
I haven’t updated much since the launch, but today I am going to give you a few healthy tips! Now these are everyday tips you can use to become a better you. These are probably going to sound very familiar, but nevertheless, I will post them.
Healthy Tip #1 – (Eat breakfast: What people don’t understand is, breakfast actually boost the metabolism. It gives it something to feed off of. You want your metabolism to be working to its full potential as y0u start your day. It is then you will feel your desired energy level, and eventually see your desired weightloss. You may be asking “What should I eat for breakfast?” Good question! Basically you can eat anything you want. You should count calories, and be aware of the fat content. Watch your transfats, and saturated fats. These two types of fats are known to lead to heart disease. I usually eat (egg whites, toast, spinach, fish, chicken, or fruit) You have a lot of options, take advantage of them. What you feed your body today, makes an impact on what your body will feel like years down the road.)
Healthy Tip #2 – (Exercise: Guys, this is a the NUMERO UNO healthy thing you can do! This will extend your life, make you feel better, help prevent diseases, relieve stress, and prevents weight gain! This is what everyone needs. I started out exercising just walking. I would head to a local walmart, and walk the store. Sometimes I could only walk 500 steps, sometimes 1,000.. but I did get moving, and I did get my body use to such effort. The key is movement, and to get active. I don’t care if it is 5-15 minutes a day to start out with. GET MOVING! It is the best thing you can do. I know sometimes exercise can be lame, and icky. I recommend music, a workout partner, or t.v as you workout. It will help pass time by, and make exercise a fun activity.)
Okay friends! Thank you for your support, and thanks for your time. Remember to never compare yourself to other people. I believe God made us all different for a reason. You don’t wanna be like me, you wanna be the best version of you that you can be. Never compare yourselves to other people. That will just get you down, and depressed. Focus on your health, and your body! It’s you that your working on changing, not anyone else. STAY STRONG!

You deserve so much credit. Your weight loss is phenomenal and your attitude incredible. Maybe you should write a book next, so you can reach more people. Now I know I can lose this measely 70 extra pounds! Thanks from a senior citizen who grew up between Bradford and Olean.
