Weight loss update

A good friend of mine named Jared Hines writes a blog that some of you might read as well, and his blog is pretty popular.  He started blogging after mine but his posts get three to four times more readers than my post do.  I'm not saying blogging is a competition but between me and Jared I feel it is.  So why does he get so many more readers than myself you may be asking yourself. I think that all the time and there are two main reasons I came up with.  One, he has more friends than I do, which makes sense because he is pretty popular.  This then leads to a wider audience of people to read his blog and therefore get more hits.  Or two, people really like his weight loss updates he gives in his blog because of how successful he has been. He has been losing a lot of weight over the last couple months and has been getting a lot of positive feedback.  Compared to my blogs which are mostly what kind of woman I want to sleep with.  Now I can't make more friends over night so I am going to say his blogs are more popular because of the weight loss updates.  One thing I have learned in life is imitation is the biggest form of flattery so I hope Jared doesn't mind me using his blog ideas to grow my readership.  Below I have listed five simple things I do in my every day life to help with my own weight loss, and in turn hope to maybe help with yours.

1. Eat the right foods- They say you shouldn't eat fast food and the more organic foods the better.  Fruits and vegetables are also good for you to eat as well as a good variety from all the food pyramids in general.  I don't really like the taste of foods that are good for you so for example if I eat vegetables I will dip them in ranch, sure the ranch isn't good for you but the vegetables off set that. When eating fruit you can pour sugar on your items to make them more sweet.  Again the sugar isn't very good for your body but it's offset by the healthiness of the fruit.  So I think when it comes to eating its not the bad foods you eat but how you can sneak healthy foods in your diet to even the field.

2. Have the right workout-  In the nice weather season months I enjoy to run around the lake by my place but that is a little harder to do in the winter.  The apartment complex I have does have a nice workout gym opened 24/7 but with that you need to worry about using all the equipment right.  For the best workout plan I like use is to watch sports.  Watching sports and being passionate about sports allows you to raise your heart rate and work up a sweat, all things you want to have occur while working out.  So even though it's not working out, I feel watching sports is almost as good.

3. Weigh in at the right time-  When you weigh yourself to see how much weight you have lost its key at when you do it.  In the morning you tend to weigh the least because you haven't had anything to eat for at least eight hours and no recent meals in your body.  I also like to weight myself after a nice poop in the morning to trim off a little more of your weight.

4. Take medication- There are a ton of diet supplements that claim they work and you will just shed the pounds but I don't believe in those.  Instead the medication I believe in his laughter.  You hear a lot of people always say laughter is the best medicine so when thinking about losing weight I always try to keep an open mind and make fun of myself. When I'm eating a big bowl of ice cream I will say, "Hey fatty do you really need to eat all that." This reminds myself I don't want to be over weight, however be careful if you are talking to yourself and calling yourself fatty if out in public.  One time I told myself this and lady next to me glared at me and got up, however in my defense she probably didn't need to finish the whole pizza even though I wasn't talking to her.

5.  Diet in groups- Studies show when companies have competitions with weight loss that a lot of people involved will lose a lot of weight.  This seems all fine and dandy but I think a better way is not to have a competition but just always bring in doughnuts and candy to share at your workplace for others to eat.  If you can be disciplined enough and not eat it yourself but your coworkers do start to eat it then you will begin to look skinny by comparison.
