Flee...

18 Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body. 19 Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; 20 you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.

How did this get interpreted from being against sexual immorality such as prostitution, adultery, and fornication to obesity?  What is bothersome is that there are some who have this belief that it is okay to insult and demean those who are obese.  That is just wrong.  I have no idea how some who say they are Christian or are religious to use the Bible to prove their point against obesity.  Gluttony that causes obesity or the gluttony of a thin person is against God, but how did that verse become a signification of obesity?  Maybe I'm off or they are off, but someone's in the wrong here.

One of those days

Today was one of those days.  Though it is only past 7PM, I hope it is not too late to start walking.  I usually walk in the back yard.  It is a large enough space to walk plus walking is such a good workout.  I have already made plans to walk.  As of right now, I planned to walk 12 minutes today.  I also record my heart rates before and after I exercise.  I also and will continue to do so, often record the speed at which I walk.  My goal is to walk at least 2 miles/hour.  Sometimes I do.  Sometimes I don't.  I also record the number of steps at which I walk.  I realize that 2000 isn't a whole lot of steps in the course of a day, but 2000 steps should be the average of a 12 minute workout.  I made these plans because I have not only made similar plans before, but I also realize that I have been too hard on myself.  This was based on having the all-or-nothing mindset that I had.  Losing weight is hard, but having PCOS and having such a mindset will prove an even bigger challenge.  It will be worth it overcoming these two very issues.

Exercising the Healthy Way to Work by LindaMaceMichalik

when the pedal goes around so slowly
that the tectonic plates beneath the tyres move just as fast
and the balancing of more than 60kg of poorly distributed body mass
against the counterbalancing weight of overstuffed panniers
just barely offset each other when augmented with the compensation
of a negligible centripetal/centrifugal/imaginary outward throwing force

when the weave within a tightly defined margin of the road
hemmed in by solid double white lines
and over-zealous motorists
with a yen to be early for their own funeral
and mine

when the ache in the wrists from the slumped weight bearing down on to the handles bars
competes for attention with the ache in the butt where the sitting bones hit the upward support

when the distance back is equal to the distance left to go
and both are too far
and both have too many ups and downs in to go much faster
except for the plunge
duelling shooting cars down to a stone-lined bridge wall

then is the time to wonder
just *how* healthy it is
to cycle to work
after all

Watching the NFL draft

I am watching the NFL draft.  I wonder if I could watch past NFL drafts.  I am just becoming a student of history.  I have just gotten curious considering the journey of so many past and current players like Cam Newton or Peyton Manning. I haven't played a game of football for myself in decades.  I like to watch football, but I doubt I would remember how to play football myself.  As I am typing this, I recall that one who waits too much procrastinates.  Procrastinators rarely if ever take risks.  "Step out in faith." so to speak.  I mention procrastination because I have made many excuses not to exercise over reasons to exercise.  I know of the reasons, but fear and procrastination have taken over.  I need to realize that complaining should not be a part of all of my posts.  

Being Overwhelmed

I was watching YouTube videos about creating weight loss journals.  Maybe that is what I need to do. I also need to create an exercise journal along with diet for the day.  I desire to change.  Over the years, I have found myself overwhelmed.  As a sufferer of PCOS, it can be more difficult to lose weight. The reason for my procrastination is because of a fear of failure.  I need to get over my fear. Okay, I need to conquer my fears.  With some help, fear can be overcome.  It is too overwhelming. I would rather that I would not be.  

Yes, it does bear repeating: from 4/17

Good for the soul
Lately, I wrote in the blog about following my instinct.  I also need to follow my mind and my heart. I have procrastinated because all I have done is make excuses.  There is nothing worse than procrastinating and making excuses to be healthy.  I bore my soul to the Lord this morning and right now, I am in such a good place.  Confession is good not only for the soul, but also for the mind and body.  That is what exercise does.  It is like confession.  It is really good for the soul.  Yes, it does bear repeating.

"Chadelier" by Sia

I absolutely love this song.  Ironically, not only do I find this a song hard to listen to, but I also find it an inspiration to exercise.  Of course, seeing a young girl dance to it doesn't hurt.  Nor does a group of people on Cize dance to it either.  I recommended Cize and I now recommend "Chandelier" by Sia for myself.

Follow my instinct

I have no real plans as far as exercise go.  That is too bad and so sad.  I have been advised to diet and exercise.  Those simple things have been hard for me.  I have no cares in this world.  I don't want to stop.  I want to be like Nike and "Just do it".  Even that has been hard.  Like food, I too have a relationship with exercise.  It is not as bad as it is with food, but I have gotten lazier over the years. Things seem quite impossible for me.  I need to live a little.  I may even need to make a fool of myself.  I do that anyway walking back and forth in the backyard.  Okay, that was not helpful. No one else does the same thing.  I have not been the inspiration to others that I desire to be.  I have thoughts of embarrassment.  I wonder if my neighbors believe I am embarrassing myself by walking in the backyard instead of just walking from one STOP sign to another.

I need to really take not only a good look at myself by being realistic but to follow not just my doctor's advice, but to go by my instinct.  My instinct tells me to not yet exercise 30 minutes a day, even with walking.  Setting up a time to exercise per day would be more helpful.  I don't have the energy to exercise 30 minutes per day.  But I do have the energy to start at 10-15 minutes a day. I would like to work my way up to 20 minutes.  I would also like to work up to 25 minutes a day.  Who knows?  I may be able to go more than 30 minutes.  I don't wish to be lazy, though I have been in the past.  I have to remember why I am and will exercise in the first place.  That will also go a long way into reaching my own goals.

Continued break.

Taking another break.  I will be back tomorrow.

Telling the truth about myself

My goal is to actually do something.  I promise myself that it will no longer be all or nothing.  I promise that I will be honest.  I am supposed to be the worst liar alive.  Well, I will prove to be the worst liar or rather honest person alive.  What has been wrong is that I have been lying to myself.  I like to walk, but I haven't found another exercise that I like.  I feel like 30 minutes worth of exercise is just too much, at least once at a time per day.  Maybe I should start being honest, period when it comes not just to be inspired, but to actually be inspired to actually do something about it.

I need to take a break.

I need to take a break.  It is a good thing to exercise.  I am ashamed of the fact that I don't always finish what I start.  It happens sometimes.  However, I realize that I cannot grant an excuse.  I don't feel sorry for myself however.  I just wish that I don't have this habit of putting it off, that is all.  What am I waiting for?

The Fundamental Reasons to Exercise- from 4/4/17

I have enough time to plan.  I also have less time to be inspired.  I have even less time to be motivated.  The truth of the matter is, I love to walk.  It clears my head for one thing.  I feel good about the fact that I am not just inspired or just motivated.  I feel good because I actually take the time to do something about it.  I have even more reason enough to exercise.  The neurologist that I have seen this afternoon mentioned the word rheumatologist.  It was another wake up call.  I was and am still concerned about my health.  I have made plans to walk or go exercise from YouTube tomorrow.  I also have back pain, which could be very well explained by a rheumatologist.  I believe that walking is a good thing physically and not just the reasons I wrote about earlier.  I refuse to stop; I will strengthen my resolve.  I refuse to make excuses, because I have none.  Exercise I read somewhere would also be good for my binge eating problem.  For that alone, that is all the more religion why exercise is valuable and not just a must.

Making preparations

My health is more than enough for me to exercise.  I have a laundry lists of medications that I take and I have to take them.  I don't like to take so many pills, but I do.  Daily.  I realize that being grateful for what good that is in my life is something that I need to work on.  Well, what I am thankful for is that I lost some weight thus far.  I am grateful that I still have a little time to do something about it.  Time waits for no one, this is true.  It only means that I can take that time and make preparations.  Life goes on.  Make preparations.  Jesus will indeed return soon.  Only God knows; make preparations.  Life is even shorter for those who do not prepare, and I wish to prepare.
