mike says things sometimes

Well, as some may know I’ve started to try and reduce my weight a bit. As a nerd, its pretty easy to understand that weight loss is just math. What I’ve found so far is that even small changes in the amount of diet and exercise you do can have results.

I’ve reduced (but not eliminated) the amount of red meat I eat, and reduced soda intake from several a day down to just a couple a week. I also use some of the diet tv dinner type things (healthy choice meals et al) as I know that I have an issue with portion control. After I meal, I’ll wait 10 or 15 minutes and if i still feel hungry maybe have some fruit or a veggie snack pack to curve any remaining hunger pangs.

Combining these dietary changes with maybe 60-90 minutes of exercise on my wii fit per week has already had me lose 8 pound in the last 25 days. Its not crazy weight loss, but what the graphs and math shows is steady sustainable weight loss, and thats whats important. None of the changes I’ve done are so drastic that I can’t live with them long term.

Also, I like it when my little wii balance board is happy with me :p

So that’s where it’s at right now, and I’ll post updates as I go I guess sometimes, if I remember. Cause I’m lazy like that.
