one year ago on the Labour Day weekend, yours truly made the conscientious decision towards a "fast food sobriety" ... well, despite all my doubters and detractors, I've successfully pulled it off ... well, with one exception, I did consume Subway sandwiches throughout the year ... I figured, it's no different from myself purchasing the ingredients on my own and preparing my own sub sandwich ... but what I call the "cardiac cousins" McDonald's and KFC, among others, have been avoided all together ... I can honestly say that I'm proud of myself and it really shows what I can accomplish when I'm driven ... on top of that, my dedication to fitness and nutrition has really become a lifestyle change, moreso an obsession ... the results have been in my view gradual, but staggering ... The proof is in the pudding: I'm at the lowest body weight I've been in 5 years (dropping 35 pounds in the last 6 months), shedding at least 3 waist sizes, finally my strength and conditioning is the best it's EVER been in my life (I never thought I could run distances I have, or be able to lift what I'm lifting) ... the payoff has been: a trimmer figure (something noticeable and surprising to those around me), an enhancement to my level of play in sports and a new burst of confidence (LOL, not that I was lacking any to begin with) ... now one year later, being in the Labour Day weekend (my annual NYC trip), I'm definitely rewarding myself ... I know for a fact that the White Castle, Nathan's and Jollibee are gonna go down nice ... guilty pleasures no more ...
