Cutting Back Can Make Changes to Your Health
This is not a secret, although it sometimes seems illogical when less is more: cutting back on your consumption–particularly in terms of food–might improve your physical health as well as your financial one.
This is not to say starvation is a good thing, or that higher priced organic vegetables are a bad thing. But in my quest to reduce some of my regular bills I’ve reduced the amount of diet soda I’m drinking and the amount I’m going out to eat on weekends–and finding that some unusual things are going on with my health. I’ve been in the 185-190 weight range for a long, long time, but over the last week I’ve broken through to 183–and exercised less due to the theft of my bike. Yet for the first time in years, I broke through that invisible 185 pound barrier. Why? Maybe because I’ve been drinking more water than I have in a long time, or maybe because I’ve been less jittery (with a lot less caffeine), or maybe because I’ve been sleeping earlier.
In any case, this is a positive development for me, so I’m happy with the results in my weight, and I’m hoping I’ll also be happy with the results in my wallet!
