Health Kick.

So, it is not long after new years now, we're about a month in and like many I decided it was time for a lifestyle change. It was time for me to shed a little bit of fat and get back to the athletic and appealing form that I used to have. This is all easy said but is never easily done. There are so many things today that make it very easy to gain weight and gain weight fast, and most of the time it is hard to stick with a health kick because we have to give up things that we really, really don't want to. One of my biggest enemies that I had the hardest time getting rid of was soda...I was so addicted to this stuff that I would get headaches if I didn't have one each day, and also with many meals I had to have one because water just didn't complement the food like soda did.

Well, I forced my self to get off of soda. It wasn't easy and it led to a week or two of headaches and trying to teach myself and my body that water could taste good with meals. It was extremely hard for me to do, but I eventually did it. However, I still could not get past the having water with meals so I decided to look for some kind of alternative before I fell back into old habits. I tried many different things that I wont go into, but I will skip ahead to one day when I made a random stop to the 7-eleven across the street. I went to the section with waters and a new bottle that I havent seen before caught my eye. It looked like water, being clear and everything, but the labels had flavors on it. I figured that this was just some regular old flavored water that tasted like a watered down fruit, but it was only a little over a dollar so I decided to give it a whirl. I was walking back to my place and I cracked the top to the bottle and the coolest thing happened... Coloring and bits of vitamin spilled into the water making it all red, and when I tasted it, it was DELICIOUS. One of the best drinks I have had in a while, and it blew every other kind of flavored water out the roof with its flavor and with its cool factor. I immediately knew I was on to something.

I decided to go with this water as my sidekick to eating, and I had absolutely no problems. It complemented my meals as well as any other soda ever did, and here is the awesome thing about it...There are NO calories and NO sugars, and is filled with tons of vitamins. I didnt think healthy could taste good till I purchased this stuff. As time went on I stuck with my excersize regimen, and kept on drinking this stuff with my meals. Here I am now a little less than a month later and I have lost 8 pounds, and gained a few more pounds back in muscle. I know it doesn't sound like a big deal, but in the mirror it is a big deal. So I just wanted to put this out there for people like me who wanted to get in shape, but struggle with making big changes. Try this stuff to replace something like your soda drinking habits, and if you excersize correctly I promise you that you will get results without having to make crazy changes to your life. With time you will notice that getting into that healthy lifestyle you struggled with came with ease with this one simple change.
