The ability to get out there on such a beautiful day and exercise should never be taken for granted.
Most people will tell you that if you have spent any time at all in hospital, then being out in the fresh air and actually being able to exercise is a very powerful statement indeed.
Most people will also tell you that if you have spent any time in a cemetery, it will definitely make you realise how important your opportunity to exercise and live life in the fresh air actually is.
Most people if not all, would swap with you every time if they had the chance, and that’s a fact!!!
To brighten the conversation up a bit, isn’t it time you got much more active than you may be currently, perhaps you are but if you’re not, then you really need to start putting things into perspective and creating as short and long term plan for your health.
The short term plan could involve making a massive difference to yourself in the next 12 weeks or so, it is entirely possible to make such a short term difference to yourself if you’re willing to change your everyday habits for a better existence.
If you have a fried breakfast, snack on chocolate and crisps, fry everything and eat a lot of processed food, and then wash it all down a few times a week with some wine and/or a few beers, then its highly likely you’re going to be on a one way road to ill health and problems down the road sooner rather than later, its all a matter of time.
If you changed that to some porridge for breakfast, snacking on fruit and natural nuts, drink plenty of water throughout the day, and keep making lean proteins such as chicken, turkey, fish etc the foundation of your week , then avoid alcohol 6 days a week only drinking in moderation a maximum of once a week, then you’re going to transforming your life in a bigger and better way than you ever though possible. High energy levels, a lean harder body and very positive levels of general health will become the norm in your life.
Time to do it and what are you waiting for!
Hey Ke, dont have to visit a hospital or cemetary, turn on the tele and watch what is happening in Japan, first the Earthquake than the Sunami and now the threat of a Nuclear Disaster, and to top it all it is Snowing now and they have no shelter, I feel for them all. Anyway still at it, although I have pulled a muscle in my left hip at the back last Sunday just getting up out of the chair, can you believe it. It is better than it has been but cant run or walk too far as it is painful, so am cycling. Went down the forestry off road today one and a half hours, the weather is amazing, always gets me off my backside. Eating good, porridge, banana and blueberries for breakfast, didnt have dinner, fresh fruit salad with yogurt for tea and jacket potato with a healthy bolognaise I made from scratch myself, onions, mushrooms, pasatta, extra lean beef mince, all cooked in a non stick dry pan. Hoping to run on Friday, fingers crossed, got up to 40mins last friday. Still enjoying the Zumba Debs, good on you girl, I couldn’t get on with it, maybe when I am smaller. What a match Italy v France on Sat, edge of your seat stuff, glad Italy won, they were so happy did you see, bless.
absolutely right about japan jean, a terrible tragedy of the worst kind and difficult to see how they can come back from this, but come back from this they will, they are incredible resilient people and it breaks everyones heart everyday to watch the news. They need some luck now after having the worst kind of luck so praying for them.
sounds as if you are doing fantastically well jean, and working thru the setback with your hip, if you carry on like this, you will soon look amazing again so keep your excellent habits up.
Dont give up now jean, this is you at your best and its great to see!!!!
