Food was OK ish yesterday but I didn't eat as slowly as I could or should have done. And in the evening I had a bit of a biscuit fest. I wasn't feeling well and it was pure comfort eating. The sdilly thing is I didn't really enjoy the biscuits that much. When will I learn to stick to the rules
This morning I have only done 15 minutes on the Wii fit but I have played with some of the new routines. It does make it more interesting. part of the time when I dont do the full 30 minutes its a bit of boredom with the routine.I think my basic 10 10 10 idea is still good (10 minutes slow aerobic like step plus, 10 minutes cardio like jogging and 10 minutes of anything else) but I need to find a selection of different excercises that will do that for me.
The day has started well. I am eating my breakfast (1 weetabix a kiwi fruit some grapes and natural yoghurt) slowly - and enjoying it. I pre-prepared my lunch sandwiches yesterday (how organised an I?) and grabbed a pack from the freezer this morning together with an orange and a cereal bar. I haven't drunk any water today yet - and thinking about it my water intake was nil yesterday. That was silly of me. I am on my second cup of coffee tho.
Yesterday I was full of positive thoughts. I still am, despite the fact that I am struggling with Paul's rules, feel I am not losing weight, and feel I am making very slow progress with my meditations.
I guess that is because I know I am not going to give up. I have proved to myself that I am NOT a quitter. I know I am healthier than I was when I first started Paul's programme and that has always been my primary goal . I can tell I am healthier because of how my knees and back feel - basically neither gives me much of a problem now. And I know my blood pressure is OK. No-one is suggesting I need medication of any sort.
Just found this in my mailbox. !!
A well-lived life is not for the timid. The world was never meant to be approached with extra caution and fear of making mistakes. Kids know that you have to jump in feet first and be willing to take some lumps on the head if you're going to have any fun. When did we stop trying new things? Why did we stop taking risks? In large part, we're afraid of messing up. We've settled into our comfort zones and don't want to look like a fool to ourselves or others. What's the price we pay for our pursuit of perfection? No growth, no sense of discovery, few real experiences. The sacrifice isn't worth it. Are there points in your life that you wish you could have back because you didn't pursue an idea or a new interest? Those chances are gone forever--but you'll have more in the future to take full advantage of. It's been said that most people don't learn much that's new past their 20s. That's an awful long time to stay stagnant. The only mistake you should be afraid to make is not trying.
I am trying!!!
And for a 57 year old overwieght woman - that is quite an acheivment
