I figure I need to lose about 15 pounds. Up until a couple years ago I worked out a lot but a nasty back injury has put a stop to that. Ever since I've begun to notice my gut is growing.
I don't actually drink a lot of beer unless you consider an average of 2 drinks a night a lot.
Today I decided to nip this in the bud and went to the store after work and bought mostly salad stuff and granola bars. I also got some almond milk as I don't do dairy, or rather it doesn't do me.
I have never been out of shape or worried about my diet so this is all new to me.
I am very active at work (construction) and intend to start using my treadmill again in the mornings but I know a healthy diet is equally important.
So far my plans are no more fast food lunches. I tried a McDonald's Southwest salad today and surprisingly I thought it was pretty dang good. No idea if it was actually healthy or not tho lol.
Anyhow, any tips would be much appreciated.
One thing I wont do however is pack a lunch. I look forward to getting off the jobsite for my hour lunch everyday. At this point I just need to do some research on healthy choices while eating out.
Also is bourbon high in calories? And should calories be my main focus?
