i just wanted to share my "ahh ha" moment. i was journaling today and having a good ole' time complaining about how difficult it is to get motivated to exercise and to continue to avoid all my favorite foods and it hit me...
life is a choice, no one ever promised easy choices. it is a choice to eat all the yummies and not exercise and it is a choice to get healthy and fit. that is all. both have benefits, but both have consequences too! the point is i need to make a choice not based on how i feel right now and what i want right now, but based on which consequences i which to face in the future.
because the future is coming.
so, do i want to face all the health issues that my food desires will create or do i want the benefit of a more healthy active life. i am 44. the time for change is now. i am on the doorstep of either being able to participate in my 50's and 60's and beyond or be at best a spectator or at worse an invalid or dead. time is wasting. there are no more, "i'll get to it later's".
i have made the choice to live and live well. i truly believe it is my "ahh ha" moment that will give me the motivation that i have been searching for. heres hoping it does the same for someone else.
be well.
take what you can use...leave the rest :)
