I am finally ready to give up all of the junk that I have been eating. Breakfast usually consists of cereal or eggs. For lunch I usually eat a sandwich and chips with a can of caffine free coke (home made sandwhich). Dinner usually is a home cooked meal that consists of either beef, pork or chicken and 2 sides, usually a green of sorts and a starch (like potatoes). The only reason I have been eating good like this because I still live with my parents and my parents always have a home cooked meal. The part that I am bad at is after the meal. Usually I reach for ice cream, m&ms or something along the lines of chocolate. I also drink soda, I used to drink A LOT of it but now I can usually do fine drinking 2-3 cans a day. I have been wanting to clean up my act for a while but I feel as if I won't be able to and I will fail. Recently though, I stopped drinking caffinated soda, I don't think I have had a caffinated drink in about a year and a half now. Here are the goals I want to accomplish:
1 Cut out soda from my diet
2 Stop getting urges for chocolate and ice cream and all other sweets
3 Possibly gain a little muscle mass and get back into shape
4 Have more energy during the day and not be so tired
Also in a year or two I will hopefully become a cop, so this is probably a good time to start getting into shape again. I used to be a runner back in the middle school and high school days (about 2-3 years ago). Even though I have short legs my best time (that I remember) was 5:45 or so, give or take a few secconds. Now the only work out I get is playing paintball (running around) and I am hoping to start playing hockey again. Right now here is what I am at:
Height: 6'
Weight: 160ish (last time I looked was about a month or so ago)
Anyways, I am looking for ways to get back into shape. I have a treadmill in my garage that I can run on any time of the day, and I have a pool I can do laps in. I also have a bike that I can hopefully get working again so I can ride that around. But mainly I am just looking to clean up my diet for right now and hopefully get some more energy in the process. During the day I feel tired and usually dont do much other than go to school and such. Sometimes I find it hard to get myself to do some things but lately I have been motivating myself to do more. I feel like if I get back into shape I will feel much better and have a lot more energy. Anyways I am going to give this all a shot and if anyone has any tips or comments, let me know.
