(31,261 posts)I chose to work out. Did around 90 minutes yesterday and 60 early this morning. May take tomorrow off as a lay day or cut down to 40 minutes, either works.
I try to stay away from diets, but respect that other people can make them work. I learned to stay away from dieting after having a Twix-rage incident a few years back. I was on a low sugar, low Carb, high vegetable, high protein diet. My head was a little heavy all the time, but I kept it up. My weight was great. One day a low battery on my car stalled me at an auto mechanic's shop. The guy didn't have many appetizing snacks so I bought a Twix bar given no other decent choice. I remember thinking that I would bite off a little of one bar and throw the rest away. But when I ate the tiny amount my brain went, ummmm, this is sooo good, so I ate the rest of the candy while the mechanic got my car ready, but still on my hate sugar routine, I refused to buy another bar right away. By the time the mechanic got my car ready, my head felt alert and great, I had more energy and my mind could not get off Twix bars. On my drive home I had to pass the grocery store that I regularly shopped at, so I figured that I would go it and buy a twelve-pack box of Twix candy and eat it over maybe the next two or three months. I got home and opened the box and ate one pack, long story short, within an hour I had eaten 10 of the 12 packs and I felt super great, at the moment a bell went off in my head about dieting that rings until this day.
