I will probably get to a point in my life when the little indulgences aren't worth it anymore. As it is, silly day to day or purposeless indulgences aren't worth it anymore (Like sharing a bowl of chips with friends during the week, having a beer just because I had a hard day, stuff like that) Big celebrations, like New Year's Eve, still are worth it to me. We all have to make those type of decisions for ourselves. And it all depends on our own bodies, our own reactions to certain foods, certain situations, our age, our overall health, etc.
But, for now I am just going to keep on keeping on. Going to do what I know is right for my body and myself.
I am currently outside on my break at work, walking, even though it is cold and snowing outside! (I can post a blog while I do this, because of my voice to text feature on my phone :D)
Obviously, I am the only one at work outside walking right now. I just can walk so much faster and so much farther when I'm outside, rather than in the parking garage or in the office building, so I decided to brave the elements. It actually isn't so bad. Not too much snow on the ground, just a dusting. And, as you can see by my photo, I am all bundled up :)
Just wanted to check in for the day, let you all know that there are, in fact, consequences to our actions, Ha ha ha. But that I am dealing with them, and still, overall, I am leading a really healthy and active life!
Namaste <3
You are hearty, to be outside in this weather. I don't know where you're from, but I live in Minnesota, and walking outside of my home either means "health club" or "mall." I have had a couple of consequences to my holiday indulgences too...two pounds (I still have at least 30 to go). I have come to realize, however, that even people without a history of being overweight have ups and downs. I'm trying to think of myself as a "normal" person who needs to take off a few pounds. I have felt normal this year as I have lost 45 pounds, for the first time in my life. You have done so well...you've got this!
ReplyDeleteYou'll get there, Jeanette. Just means you have to crack the whip on yourself for a while. ;)
ReplyDeleteBrrrr ......does look cold. A walk does lift the spirit though.
