Getting Inshape

"You ever see somebody at the gym that is huge? It's like why are you still working out you already won" - Kevin Hart

I want to be that guy Kevin mentions in his quote. So since everybody is all into everything healthy and green, I figured I would too become a bit more conscious of my health at an earlier age. Diabetes and high blood pressure seem to run in my family, hell any family that comes from the south and eats those classic Sunday dishes should have high blood pressure. As with most kids in my age bracket I used to be a devout athlete, playing sports any chance given, however as you get older partying, girls and other interest leave little time for exercise. I think back to 2004 right before my first semester of college I had to get a physical. My doctor at the time, told me "Mr. Holmes this is the point of your life where your going to be physically active more than ever, because before you know it you will have a pot belly and taking 5 different pills for the same symptom" Now its 2009 I'm a bit chunky and not in the greatest shape. Heavy Alcohol intake not to meant the tobacco wasn't help much, Now as I approach the dawn of my child entering the world makes me want to be a bit more health conscious and take care of my body because you only get one.

I thought about many things to help me continue a healthy living, such as waking up early to jog or heading to the gym after work and cutting out ALOT of the fatty foods I consume,however with such a hectic lifestyle being always on the go How does one find the time not to eat junk food and continue to fit in a good workout into a schedule? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
