Weight Loss
As a Baby Boomer I've tried so many diets, plans, pills, gimmicks, and goofy exercises hoping the next thing I try is going to be THE ONE. Well, you know how it works, all the gimmicks in the world don't do a thing. You have to eat right, exercise frequently and consistently, and balance the calories you take in versus the calories you burn. There is no other magic formula. You can't cheat at this effort. It takes being committed and dedicated to get the results. It is not a one-time quick fix, but rather a lifestyle that you adopt for LIFE. period. Yes, you can have the occasional birthday cake and champagne, and sure you can take a week off from your exercise routine, but in the end, it is the everyday attention that will pay off. It isn't easy. Sometimes it's not a lot of fun. But like most things in life, it's all what you make of it. You make up your mind it is worth it, and you stick to it.
