You are What You Eat

"The only place where 'success' comes before 'work' is in the dictionary."

In order to achieve success hard work must be put in. Over the last few weeks I have pushed myself in order to reach a healthier me. At first it was difficult. Cutting out fast foods along with sodas were not going to be an easy task for me. But after four weeks of not having either, I no longer have the urge for sodas or fast food, and results have certainly came my way.

Being a college student I have little time for myself between school and work. This problem always lead to me eating fast food, simply because it was fast, easy, and cheap. But where there is a problem, there is always a solution. Since I didn't have time each day to cook, I now spend each Sunday cooking my week's worth of meals. I put each meal into a container then into the freezer. This allows me to heat it up and take it on the go with me, saving lots of time while eating healthy.

I have come to learn that no matter how hard you train while working out if you are not eating the right foods your training is useless. The statement "you are what you eat" really does hold truth.

I've gained 6 pounds of muscle while still ridding away my body fat in just a couple of weeks by simply working out four days a week and eating healthy, but still allowing one cheat meal a week (which always ends up being Mexican ha ha).

You can accomplish anything if you are willing to pay the price.
