Breaking Bad Habits
11/21/2014


I am a 51-year-old father of 4 adult children. 

In November of 2012, I decided enough was enough. I had topped out at 298 lbs., and I knew something had to change. I did not want to do any kind of a "program." I knew I needed something permanent -- a new set of habits basically. Like you say, "Eat less, move more." So I made a few simple habit changes and it has made all the difference in the world. I don't eat ANY processed carbs after 2PM, and I DON'T eat after 7:30PM. Those are my two simple, drop-dead rules. There is no compromise on those two rules. Along with those rules, I have incorporated huge amounts of fresh veggies into my meals. I like the idea of getting the greatest amount of nutrients into my body with the least amount of calories. I also take brisk walks on the weekends for about 20 minutes.  I'm a traveling manufacture's rep., so I'm only home on the weekends. 

I now weigh 186lbs. My waist went from a 52 to a 36. My wife of 31 years is very happy, and finds it a lot easier to be my girlfriend! I also found out I'm going to be a grandpa in March. So... life is pretty darn good right now. 

Respectfully, 

Bryce
