Two Week Update

Wow!! Time flies when your having Christmas. So today marks two weeks of my diet and getting ready to get in shape for 2012. I haven't had soda and fast food for 17 days now. And I've cut 90% of the chips and other junk food I was eating out of my diet. I've replaced it with fruits, veggies, salads, chicken and tuna. Also, I've been walking 1-2 miles everyday, doing about 60 push ups and 100-200 sit ups every day, and after work I lift free weights at the gym.

I don't feel too much different, and I haven't lost any weight yet, but this should come as soon as I start running in January. I do get a better night sleep and less headaches and body aches. Its amazing what healthy food and exercise can do for you.

I read an article from Mens Health Magazine about how eating raw broccoli can reduce your risk of cancer. So I added one big piece to my smoothie each morning. Here's the link:

Also, my Mom gave me this supplement called Triple Greens from Purity Products to add to my smoothie. It taste horrible, but from what I've read, this green powder has all the good stuff you need for a healthy diet.

All I have planed for this week is to continue my walking and light leg and knee exercises. The pain in my right knee came back somewhat, with a little click as well... So running in January might not be an option. I'll keep you posted.
