Slowly Making Lifestyle Changes

I am glad that I have dropped 6 pounds thus far. Most of the weight loss didn't come from a dramatic increase in exercise, but primarily due to changing eating habits.

Some of the changes in my eating habits are the following:
1. No Coke - SOBE water is my new drink of choice
2. Sugar substitute - Has been an easy transition
3. 5 - 7 meals a day. Using a book that shows me how to snack/eat effectively.
4. Buy products that are healthier (ex: wheat bread, cottage cheese)

The good thing is that all of these changes are easy to do.

My next step is to increase my workouts. I play in a lacrosse league on Saturdays and pick up basketball on Tuesday nights, but haven't been consistent with working out.

I did start off today with a good workout. Plan is to work out 4 times this week in addition to my lax/basketball.

Here's to a healthier Tony!

RACE DAY RESULTS

First of all Happy New Year to All!

It was a great evening last night as I ran the 4 mile race! The weather was cool, but not enough to blame any results on the elements. I finished the race with a time of 33 minutes and 35 seconds with an average mile pace of 8 minutes 24 seconds. I have to admit it was better than expected. However, I have a long road ahead of me, but I am excited about the journey. I was excited to know that I came in in the top third #401 out of 1400 people.

I am going to continue to focus on nutrition and on exercising regularly. I will also keep my competitive edge by participating in pick up basketball and a box and field lacrosse league.
