game too!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In my opinion, one of the worst things in the world is dieting.\u00a0 I can&#8217;t stand it.\u00a0 I like eating&#8230;I\u00a0like food&#8230;I like eating food.\u00a0 And I&#8217;m not picky.\u00a0 I like all different kinds of food.\u00a0\u00a0I&#8217;ll eat almost anything that won&#8217;t eat me first.\u00a0 But unfortunately, after a few years, my indulgence began to show.\u00a0 I ballooned up to a weight that would have been OK if I was 6&#8217;4&#8243;.\u00a0 However, being only about 5&#8217;8&#8243;, it was starting to not work for me.\u00a0 When regular routine daily activities become a bit of a chore, things need to change.\u00a0\u00a0So at that point I had to start teaching myself the old M-word&#8230;moderation.<\/p>\n<p>Such a terrible word, moderation.\u00a0 It sounds to me like a lack of fun.\u00a0 Like\u00a0giving up.\u00a0 But at the same time, I don&#8217;t want to have to take a deep breath anymore\u00a0after I tie my shoes.\u00a0 Not too mention, the long-term health concerns involved with being overweight.\u00a0 And so&#8230;the diet began.\u00a0 Now, a few months later, I&#8217;m down 25 pounds and still going.\u00a0 And naturally, I\u00a0begin to wonder what the affect will be on my golf game.\u00a0 Will the extra weight off help with my swing?\u00a0 Will I be less worn out\u00a0toward the end of the round?\u00a0 But it&#8217;s January in Connecticut&#8230;can&#8217;t really test that out now.\u00a0\u00a0But I can go to the range to\u00a0see if the swing\u00a0feels better&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>So that&#8217;s where I head on an early Sunday afternoon.\u00a0 And after just a few swings, I can already feel a difference.\u00a0 My swing feels smoother and I feel like I have better balance.\u00a0 Not too mention, I feel like I&#8217;m doing less work &#8211;\u00a0like the swing just feels more natural.\u00a0 I wonder if this is what my golf swing is supposed to feel like!\u00a0 Granted, it&#8217;s only the driving range, but I would imagine this bodes well for the course a few months from now.\u00a0 Of course, that gives me a few months to keep the diet going and get off even more of this unwanted weight.<\/p>\n<p>So that&#8217;s what I plan on doing.\u00a0 I&#8217;ll keep the weight coming off for my own health benefits as well as for the benefit of my golf game.\u00a0 Will the experience\u00a0at the driving range translate to the course?\u00a0 Well, that remains to be seen.\u00a0 But even if it doesn&#8217;t, the health benefits are the greater concern.\u00a0 The golf game is\u00a0simply a bonus.<\/p>\n<p>Swing &#8217;til you&#8217;re happy!<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis
