Have you ever taken a long walk on a beautiful day? A day when the sun is shining and the sky is perfectly blue dotted with fluffy white clouds. Today I looked up at the sky and felt the sun on my face and finally it all clicked. A healthy lifestyle is not a punishment or death sentence. A healthy lifestyle is a wonderful bonus for having the discipline to stay focused on your diet. During my morning walk I pondered my long history of yo-yo dieting. I have tried numerous diets and programs. I usually drop weight only to regain some, all or more within six months to a year. Why? I think it is because my weight loss efforts are not part of a total lifestyle change. I have to make some hard choices about my weight. Do I want to live long enough to enjoy sunny skies? That is the question.
During the next 11 months I will work hard to develop and maintain a healthier lifestyle. I hope you will follow my blog and support me to the finish line.
My challenge this week is to get through a demanding schedule of busy events without being tempted by the food table. Why is there food at EVERY meeting? Last night I ate lettuce while everyone else ate HUGE sandwiches on Italian bread (WITH CHIPS AND SUNDAES). Give me a little applause. I made it through the night. Tonight is another challenge.
Good Book: Terry McMillian's Getting to Happy. That's my goal...getting to happy.
Have a Veggie Good Day,
