I forgot my passwordChase Hawkins Gets KC Fit!

When I started working on my new startup zappn.com, I didn’t know that it was going to shut down my “physical” life. I was working my full-time job, and then working 3-5 hrs on the website when I would get home. 13-16 hour days would leave no time to eat well, exercise, or live healthy.
A few months ago, I quit my full-time job to focus on zappn. I think that this was one of the turning points in my somewhat healthy lifestyle. I now had most mornings and evenings free, and was able to focus on myself, while having the energy to do so.
My main focus when I started my “healthy” transition were the following things:
- 1500 calories a day. (This was a very tough goal, but one that I have stuck with for over 2 months now.)
- Walk 18 holes of golf 1-2 days a week. (Doing something I love, while getting healthy was important for me)
- Cut out quite a bit of drinking. (instead of drinking 10-15 drinks a week, I cut back to 5 or so)
- Walk to the store, meetings, and other places downtown.
These might sound simple to many people, but it is a great start for me. I am now down about 25 pounds in about a month and a half. I have started to look into other options for exercise such as P90X, running, and biking around downtown.
