TODAY'S INSPIRATION
The happiest life is that
which constantly exercises
and educates
what is best in us.

The Done and the Undone of the Day
I ended the day with a 1/2 cup of fat free raspberry sherbet and a 1/2 tablespoon of mini semisweet chocolate chips. Delicious!
Before that I talked for more than an hour with an old friend. Wondrous how you can talk to someone like you just talked yesterday, when it's really been years in between.

I felt irritated with having to follow a food plan today, but I did it. And I stayed within my calorie count, even though I had visions of going to a pizza joint sitting outside with a nice pizza and some beer. I seldom drink beer, but the thought taunted me.
I am disappointed with my lack of structured, consistent exercise. I've had some successes--walked the dog last night after my post, walked on the treadmill for part of the time while I watched the 650 lb loser. . . the mini exercise bike. But I'm not walking in the morning when I get up with the dog and not consistently doing anything. And I feel torn because I don't want to dwell too much on what I'm "not" doing for fear it will set me off in a downward negative spiral and negate what I am doing. . . still. . .I want to do more. I know once that damn burn stops in the those fatty paunches on my thighs, it will feel good.
I like being nutritiously self righteous--paying big bucks for decadent fresh raspberries and blackberries. There has to be a place in my future for being physically self righteous. And only I can start it.

Another great song blog. And you inspire me, too. I really want to do better, just after reading your blog.
ReplyDeleteLovely nightcap! You're headed in a wonderful direction. You know that? Like me, you're aware of your strengths and weaknesses---and you're making changes to ballance it all.
ReplyDeleteI think you're doing fabulous. It's always a wonderful thing to follow your success!

One thing at a time! You are making good food choices, connecting with friends and you are exercising! I found during my large weight loss journey that often times I had to will myself to do what I knew needed to be done - but then, my heart followed that desire, and the enjoyment came!
ReplyDeleteKeep up your good work!
I have to plan out exercise as rigorously as I plan out my food. Make it a high priority item; the benefits are enormous.
