On Saturdays my plan is to talk about excersise.. or better yet..healthy lifestyle...
I will be upfront and say that my lifestyle is not very healthy. I will back up and say that I choose not to drink alcohol (my choice).. I mean I do have the once in a while drink or glass of wine...but I don't go out to just drinks. And I don't smoke...never have and never will. So in general I think I am pretty healthy...
Now lets talk about all those other things...eating and moving the body..I am an emotional eater. I eat because it makes me forget about anything that makes me upset or depressed... I eat because it just plain tastes good... The thing is... I do like to excersise. I love to walk, to jog, ride a bike..etc..but I seem to not want to or I choose to other sedentary things...
I know as I get older I will start having issues. Heck it has already started. My knee is messed up. It is getting better with therapy, but I never use to have issues like this. This alone has really slowed me down.
I have come to the conclusion that if I want to live a more stress free life I have to take charge of my life. I need to make better choices... I need to value myself...I have nightmares of growing old and frail and being a burden.
So...starting now...I am going to...
1. I now have a personal trainer.
2. I am now committed to going to the doctor for yearly physicals
3. I have been searching out low fat/low sodium meals
4. When I find that life is getting out of hand that I will work it out by working out
I am committed to loving myself inside and out... What do you do to be healthy(ier) ?
I do the annual physical thing and have even had my first colonoscopy.
ReplyDeleteI have been exercising and have given up diet pop and other treats have become treats--not every day indulgences.
And... I just ordered a DVD set that looks like will finally help lift my butt.
