Many things make us wake up and realize that the body we live in is not the healthiest. Stress can cause us to overeat and increase cortisol, both of which don't contribute to staying fit. Being overwhelmed with balancing of all aspects of life, work, kids, home, school, etc., can also make us eat less or drive to a drive-thru without thinking twice. There are multitudes of factors that can throw our healthy habits off track or simply lose them off the map completely. When we lose a small amount of weight, we reap many health benefits. Our chances of developing diseases such as diabetes and heart disease decrease. We are less likely to suffer from sleep apnea. Our blood pressure drops and we feel better about ourselves. Energy increases as we become more active and produce more hormones that make us feel good when we exercise. No matter how you do it, medical or physical, the benefits of working out and losing weight are plentiful. That said, it's time to start the journey that will end up changing your life... are you ready?
