Diet
I finally realized my mission in life…..Inspire and Change Lives!
Only a person who has been there and has faced the same challenges and struggles can truly understand the difficulty, physically and emotionally, of trying to lose weight. I have been there, FACED the challenges and OVERCAME the struggles, and I truly understand how difficult it is. It's never too late to get yourself in the best shape of your life!!
If I had the option to choose my dream job, it would have to be Chris Powell's on Extreme Makeover Weightloss Edition.
Helping others transform their lives and showing them that IT CAN BE DONE is my Ambition in life. This is something I am very passionate about.
"Making the Impossible, POSSIBLE!"
What did you do?
I would not call it a diet but rather a life-style change.
After being challenged by a friend of mine, WBFF fitness model Andrey Davidenko, and speaking with a few people on what I should eat, I chose a High Protein Diet with a Moderated Carb intake. I did not completely eliminate Carbs because they are a major source of our energy. I used the "little rule" If it was originally white in color, I removed these items from my diet. These foods consisted of rice, pastas, breads, crackers, and tortillas. When it came to eating Carbs, I would eat whole vegetables, whole fruits, and whole grain cereals. When eating out and ordering a salad, I completely ate it dry. Absolutely No Dressing! Dressing takes the HEALTHY out of the salad. I also stayed away from Ketchup and Mayonnaise. I completely removed sodas, juices and any other item that are not Water. I strictly drink Water!!
I allowed myself one cheat meal a week which usually fell on Friday Nights. When going out to dinner with friends, I would eat whatever I wanted, but sticking to water as my beverage.
When it came to Exercise, I stuck to straight Cardio. I began walking for 45 minutes a day and did so for at least 1 week. The following week I began jogging, working my way to where I completely jogged for the entire 45 minutes. I am currently running anywhere from 5 to 10 miles a day.

MOST IMPORTANT FACTOR!
Losing weight isn't just a matter
of eating less and exercises. Those two points are important, but you must also
be mentally prepared. Losing weight involve permanent lifestyle changes. You
will need to break patterns and habits that you may have been indulging in for
years. You'll have good days and bad ones, so you must be prepared for both and
determined to give up. If you focus on mental preparation before you start your
program, you'll increase your chances for success.
Step 1
Decide on how much weight you want
to lose. You need a clear goal so you can mentally prepare yourself to focus on
it. Decide on the number of pounds and the time frame. You should also come up
with mini-goals that you can use as checkpoints throughout the weight loss
process.
Step 2
Create a mental picture of what you
want to look like. Once you have a goal of a specific number of pounds, you
should visualize what that will mean to your appearance. These visualizations will help to motivate you.
Step 3
Prepare small rewards to use as you
accomplish your mini-goals. It's important to
recognize your progress, and rewards do this in a tangible and motivating way.
Step 4
Prepare yourself to see slip-ups as
learning opportunities rather than as a reason to stop your weight loss
efforts. Don't be unrealistic and except perfection. Instead, if you have a bad
day, you should focus on what went wrong in terms of how you
can prevent it in the future.
Step 5
Plan your support system. As you
work through your weight loss program, a strong support system will help you
maintain a positive mental attitude. You can use your partner and other family
members and friends, join a local support group or sign up for weight loss
forums online.
