Getting healthier

For the past few weeks I've been entering into a process of change when it comes to my bad habits. I've come to realize that I've lost so much physical fitness since high school and that as a result of this I've lost energy, attention span, happiness, and opportunities.

As I say I allowed myself to get into bad habits I mean I couldn't even label my diet as "poor nutrition" because it goes beyond what an adjective "poor" can describe, and the phrase "poor nutrition" still contains the word nutrition.. no what I ate and my diet can be described as no other than "septic" pure septic crap.

Wendy's double cheeseburgers, french fries, taco bell, donuts, just about every type of fried animal meats and fried foods in general x 100's of days. Each day!

but now, I'm changing. For the past 3 weeks I've replaced eating out at restaurants with eating assortments of packed fruits, whole grains, and healthy snacks such as granola. I still drink sodas but I stick to diet sodas although I want to slowly wean off of that as well and go to just water.

I haven't fully replaced restaurants because frankly their convenience is so valued when I'm so time strapped, but I try to eat healthy as I can when I do eat out. Still, I'm keeping track of the types of foods I eat and I try to get fruits such as bananas, apples, oranges, and watermelon in as I can a day.

Also I've started exercising. Every morning I go to a local park and I run as long as I can until I'm forced to walk then recover and run again.. today was a sort of revolution for me, because while running instead of getting out of breath, I started out feeling tired but then my body recovered while I remained jogging!

I hadn't felt that way since I was in high school and I was fit. I ran an entire mile without stopping which for me is huge!!!!!! like seriously, when I first started I couldn't jog half a mile barely at once. Now I feel my endurance building and I'm able to go with a faster pace.

These changes I've made have resulted in me feeling happier, having more energy, and being more self-confident. It hasn't been long since I've been doing these things but the results I've gotten thus far have been enough to show me this is a path I want to continue on.
