Building a Better Me: I am you

I am a person blessed with good health, with no visible physical ailments or disabilities except for the fact that I am obese.

I am a person with too many damn excuses.

I am was you.

I am changing and I like it.

I plan to lose a whole lot more.

Simple changes I have made that have resulted in weight loss:

I have eliminated carbonated beverages from my diet. I am no longer a 2-3 soda per day person.

I no longer drink Monster or any other "energy" drinks.

I started using using the My Fitness Pal app on my phone to track my calorie intake.

I have started working out on a daily basis with a goal to work out AT LEAST 30 minutes per day.

I have started drinking Silk Almond milk as well as eating Chobani yogurt and love them both.

I have started snacking healthier. I now eat berries and/or an apple a day and I eat salads as often as I can.

That food pyramid thing actually makes sense.
