It’s true what they say…

Sometime back, I wrote that I was beginning to have health problems. More than any other time in my life I felt horrible. Heart rate all over the place. Insomnia. You name it and I had it.

So, I decided to try regular exercise and healthy food. I cut every morning coffee. I cut pizza. I cut Diet Coke. I cut hamburgers. Pretty much anything bad got replaced with something good. For the last week and a half I’ve eaten salad and tuna for lunch. Breakfast was a protein shake with a bunch of fruit in it. Dinner is typically fish and some red wine. Each morning I go to the gym at 6:30. I return at 7:30.

I’ve only been doing this for a week and a half and every ailment is already gone. I really can’t believe it. I get up earlier than I usually like to but I return home at 7:30 and feel much more energized than I used to when I woke up at 7:30 or 8:00. Quite honestly, I am simply amazed that any of this made any difference in such a short period of time. Further, my tolerance for stress is probably double what it was a week ago. That was also unexpected.

This has turned into something of a little experiment. I’m going to continue a fairly strict regime for another 30 days to include daily exercise and no junk food whatsover. I suspect I’ll drink my beloved red wine during the weekends but other than that I’ll pretty much stick to a plan. I simply want to see what will happen. I know that all of us have been told that exercise and a healthy diet are best for us but I never really tested the theory in an extreme way and in a very compressed time period. This is going to be very interesting.
