Plan to walk

I will still walk.  I saw myself as someone with a body that I did not like.  I need to lose weight.  Now I actually want to take action.  I realized that that is a rather shallow reason to lose weight, but that is how I feel.  Tomorrow will be quite a cold morning and will not get much warmer.  I feel like I have no excuses to stay complacent.  Complacency will take a person nowhere.

Wanting to do something

I woke up hoping to walk outside.  I did not.  However, I am motivated to exercise.  I wish I knew what to do.  I don't have any exercises that I like.  I wish I could find an exercise that I like to do. I am growing tired of being inspired.  I want to do it now!  I want to start now.  Maybe I should try dancing.

Bento and other reflections

For a while now, I have wanted to make health-conscious purchases, or at least lead to the promotion of health consciousness.  For instance, I have always wanted a bento box.  I found out about bento boxes, bento lunchboxes, or just plain lunch boxes that come with a thermos.  I realize that I need to eat better than they do.  I must remember to eat smaller portions, which I am often guilty of not doing.  What I do know, is that bento boxes or just bento as I call them, offer good portion control.  It is amazing how much food goes into one container.  It is quite interesting because it isn't a controversial exercise equipment or even a dance routine.  Exercise is quite beneficial for any number of reasons.  However, I am only writing about eating, but I also have to eat smaller portions of healthy foods.  Healthy foods can be just as good as unhealthy foods.  The difference is in quality.  So it is advisable for me to eat smaller portions of food that is lower in nutritional value and consume portions of high quality, more nutritious foods.  A bag of fruits offer more nutrition than a bag of chips.  Interestingly enough, I think it is time to follow just basic, simple advice.

Wake up call

I took a break yesterday, but I won't take one today.  I am not a fan of laziness, so I did do some working out.  Okay, I haven't done much of anything but I have tried stretching and a couple of minutes of dancing.  Yesterday, I have even done some leg lifts.  I haven't tried a leg lift in a while. My last exercise "session" was over a week ago.  This morning, I read about what has been going on with me.  I have been having muscle weakness and have also been fatigued.  As a diabetic with a hormonal condition, this scared me at least a little bit.  It could be that my diabetes has worsened or it could be sleep apnea.  That was a wake up call and I need to exercise more plus eat a healthier diet. My weight has climbed within the span of a week and I cannot afford to have a sedentary lifestyle. Nor should I be overly concerned to be only slightly active yet knowing that I could do more.  I believe that any and all things should and must be a wake up call.  It has been and still is, for me.

Taking a break

Right now, I am taking a break.

Last night was a wake up call

I am just wondering what is happening to me. I slept and slept and slept yesterday.  Right now, I am awake enough to type this and I am awake enough to have watched the inauguration in its entirety. Actually exercising hasn't been so easy, yet formulating one has been hard.  I have struggled with the same issues for over a decade and I have procrastinated so much that I felt that I have wasted time not doing what I am supposed to do and what I needed to do.  In my mind, losing weight is so easy, but in deed, ti seems so impossible.  I should listen to my head, not to my heart this time.  

Going hand in hand

Emotional eating and exercise probably do not go hand in hand.  However the connection between the two is there.  I didn't always do such, but lately I have.  One has to have a sense of self worth and guidance to overcome them.  I prayed to overcome emotional eating.  However, exercise is something something I need to do.  I pray now to overcome procrastination and low self worth.  I want to live and to live and be healthy.  I want to follow things God's way by reading and studying God's Word.  It may seem strange in an exercise and fitness blog, but I am confessing my issues to the readers, for I have truly overwhelmed. As a diabetic, moving a muscle will be essential to being fit.  I am inspired to exercise, but that is a very big problem.  It requires not being overwhelmed, and not continue to living a healthy lifestyle.  I have no excuses.
