A massive improvement is all great and an amazing achievement when it happens, but it’s the “how” that really concerns me before we all do our lap of honour and pat ourselves on the back a bit too hard.
It’s the “how” we decide in the first place we want to get in shape.
It’s the how we go about doing it.
It’s the how we pick ourselves up when things go wrong.
It’s the way we integrate recommended activities into our life.
It’s the how good nutritious food somehow becomes tasty and we don’t need all those fatty sauces any more.
It’s the how tough workouts somehow become even easy in a few weeks time.
It’s the how we learn to sleep better when exercise becomes part of our life.
It’s the how we actually miss breakfast when we don’t have it, even if for 30 years we never ate breakfast in the mistaken belief that it would make us lose weight.
It’s the change in attitude we get, when we become far more positive instead of negative about everything.
All of these things are life-changing, so lets keep digging deep and finding out the “how” we do things!
Hi Keri,
In response to yesterdays’ blog regarding overeating after an illness. I guess the body does try to take on more calories but do you think that the body also recognises the loss of vitamins and minerals and is trying to replace them? When we have sickness and diarrhoea we are depleted of these essentials and the only way to replace them is to eat.

good point debs and i agree, thats why i said its important to eat but the right sort of calories full of nutrients and vitamins as you say. I was away the weekend and it was tempting to have the higher fat and sugary foods we tend to eat a little more of when we are away. Sorry for not clarifying that.
