At some period
of time we have to think about our bodies. Sometimes
we push this thought aside and do not think about
it. This is not always easy. I never liked my
appearance. But the problem was not to identify my body
although I had some responsibilities. It happens that
sometimes things go wrong. We are living in a fast paced
world and the last thing that we could afford is there
something to happen with our bodies. Things may happen
to our cars, but not to our bodies. At some age people
start to realize that their bodies are important.
This happens later in life
than most people think. I never been an active type of
person. I used to go hiking but never really to the gym.
There are some things that never
change.
This could be because of age or just because all
the people around him are
fat.
Probably it was a
combination of all these things that made me start
thinking about diet and health. When a person is young
one could eat fast food, three meals per day and not
feel it. But with age people start to feel it more. The
progression toward a healthy
lifestyle was to make it healthier.
When you loose your diet you
also loose your body. You loose your sleeping habits,
your hair does not look good, and your skin also looks
like leather. I wondered why some people�s skin looks so
terrible and now I got the
answer.
There is something that has
to be done.
You are starting to feel out of
condition and still you do not know how to change the
things. You have to know that this is not impossible. If
you are married or are in a long term relationship, then
it will be easier for you. The lady would like to look
as she used to be like when she was
young.
It will be easier if both of you do it. Then you
will not be tempting each other with food.
There
should be some point from which to
start.
The first thing is to go to
your doctor for a physical. You should have some blood
taken and see the results. If you have not done this
before, it is a good thing to do. He will check your
cholesterol and the likes. In case you have a health
condition you have to talk about your diet and the
exercise plans with him before doing anything else. If
you have diabetes you have to start with a new
diet.
You have to choose what kind
of diet you have to go on. It is preferable to focus on
a diet that is high in vegetables and fruits. You have
to diminish the meat and the carbs and you have to stick
to as many fresh items as possible. This will definitely
help you loose weight. You have to start making some
exercises. It is preferable to start with walking and
jogging. You can go together along with your old lady.
You may also get a dog and they love to go on walks.
This will be a motivation for you to make your
walks.
After getting used to waling
you may go to the gym. It is better if you can afford a
personal trainer. If not, it is preferable to start with
swimming and making an exercise bikes. You could also
start with the treadmill. You should not stop making
your walks. This is a good exercise and quality time
with your old lady. You will enjoy the talks that you
have during your walks. If you are over forty, it is not
sure how you will do weight-lifting. Your body will need
some time to get used to lifting weights. But at the
beginning you will feel tired.
I do not like
weight lifting. It is boring to stand, sit and lift
things for hours.
The main thing that has to be
done is to change your diet, get more exercises and
listen to your
doctor.
If he tells you to do what you are doing then
continues. In case he gives you any warnings, you have
to listen to him
