Deciding to mix up the workouts a bit now. Don't want to get bored or stale. Been in the pool at least 1x a week. Wednesday was a day to run, 45min of interval running, speed walking. That felt good. Today going to a new place for kick boxing. Not too excited about it but Bon wants me to try it with her. So off I go. Need to keep the pace.
Met up with a patient the other day and she commented how I still look good. That was nice and I must have given a look like and what do you mean by that? Well, she went on to explain that so many of her friends lose the weight especially on WW and then gain. Well I went on to explain that it is not a diet it is a lifestyle. Diets don't work. She asked if I eat cookies? Hell ya I eat cookies, just not the whole bag! Moderation key. Which leads me to another thing. There are people out there that are filling kids with crab in their heads. Making them stress about weight at a young age. Don;t get me wrong, I need to be concern. But when my kid is in tears because he is not sure if he can eat a soft pretzel or not, there is a problem. Trying to deprogram them into understanding the needs for ALL food groups. Telling them that a soft pretzel is a form of a carb (not necessarily the best one) but a carb no less. And your body does require that too. Deny the body of it and when you do eat one, you will tend to eat two too many and whoops. Moderation is the key. Trying to instill that we EAT to fill the need and we EXERCISE to fill a need. Hoping and praying that keeping them moving and having the right foods in the house. Not stressing on what the scale says but how we feel and look (in those jeans). That one was for you Joe. Eat right and exercise feeds body and mind. Get with God fills the spirit. We need them all especially NOW!
