Being out of shape sux

[J]

Being 6'1" and 170, I can't say I'm fat (not really skinny either), but I did start working out. When I first starting playing, I was never fast enough, often getting hit (I like to run as far far as possible). So I starting working out, running, weight-lifting, not eating too much crap, Its working out.

Me = out of shape... lol... I work out but I have a bad diet... I need to cut down on the junk food...

Well I am out of shape to, well I can left alot, I just have a big old stomach, I tend to eat to much chunk food. I can easliy lift hay bails all day long and not be tired, (60pound bails, 1000 per person per day). But i can not run I am slow so if anyone can help me out with some tips or ideas how to cut back the junk food I would be thankful. If i can do that I will be set.

don't buy junk food... And try not let anyone else by it around you. You'll dive into it eventually.

tried that my mom always has stuff, then I cave in and go looking for it, I will just tell her not to buy any of that crap.

[FooTemps]

That's what i mean... Too bad my dad won't stop buying junk food... oh, and drink tea/water during meals instead of soda or coffee or something of that sort.

[bond1313]

I never drink soda, always water and sometimes tea or gatorade, but my mom always has some kind of junk food.

This may sound stupid, but it works. First, drink lots of water. I mean carry a bottle around with you all the time. 2nd, take some gum with you. trident or something. When you feel hungry, pop in a stick of gum. 10 mins or so later, you wont be hungry. There is some sort of connection between your chewing and feeling hungry...it is some psychological thing. Eat often, but small. Snack on yogurt, fruit, etc.
I learned all this the hard way. I am in the National Guard, and maintained just enough fitness to get by. Well, we were called up in oct...so I have been trying to get in better shape. Its tough, but doable. I will never hit my target weight...my body type is too damn stocky. Oh, one other thing; sleep. Dont skimp on that. Your body needs to recover.

The one thing the younger guys don't have to worry about as much is Beer. Beer=fat unless you are VERY active. You can easly add 300 calories to your diet with just 2 beers. So Saturday night added.....I don't want to think about it.
