It’s been a while since I wrote anything about well-ness and stuff like that. It’s not that I’ve given up on being healthier I’ve just gotten lazy! For a while anyway.
I was doing well working out and losing weight, then I stopped cold-turkey! I have no idea why. I still watch what I ate, somewhat, however I indulged and over indulged in my favourite foods. Yep, now I’m paying the price. I’m not the svelte person I was becoming while working out last spring/summer.
I miss that too, not working out. All of a sudden there’s aches and pains and ‘cricks’ in my body that I didn’t know existed. And I also have come to realize that exercising does give me that high that make me feel good about me all of the time. Plus it’s so good for me and I’m not getting any younger.
I’ve read with enthusiasm as some of my fellow JUsers have begun their own workouts and/or diets and have become healthier; like Peter (Blue Dev) and Locamama and Tex before she became pregnant.
Now I’ve become a bit disgusted with myself because it’s as if I have no control over me anymore and I don’t like that at all.
I don’t know what it is though, I know working out is good, I know what I have to do to get there and I do know the reward will be so good. Yet I just wasn’t ready to do it. It’s the same as usual; I have to talk myself into it. And so I began doing that more than a month ago, yep, it takes me that long to get the fire going! I’ve been making better choices when it comes to eating. I’ve also once again began to portion-size my food, that really works for me.
Most importantly though I’ve slowly began to get physical again. So this journey continues, my road to well-ness and well-being. One of these days I’m going to be the master of that journey, until then I’m taking baby steps because it’s like learning to walk all over again.
