I woke up this morning thinking I got up too late to work out, then realized I had to meet Lauren at 12 not 11. More than enough time to do Combat 60! Got that in, with a little help from Oscar, and then went out to lunch with Lauren, and hung out with mom for a bit.
Mom and I walked Hobby Lobby and the mall - I'm on a quest to find a welcome sign for the front door. Didn't find any, but we did get a little over 6,000 steps in. Zach and I wound up watching 'My 600 Pound Life' on TLC last night for a while. I see these people as an inspiration. If they can make a difference and live better when they're on the brink of death because of being so obese, than I - a 125 pound woman - can do it, too.
70% of fitness happens in the kitchen, so just by eating healthier, you're well on your way to living a better life. Read the labels, do your homework, and make sure you're only putting good things into your body. Even desserts can be modified to be healthier. Then, get your butt off the couch and move! Dance along to the radio in the kitchen while you're cooking. Go for a walk and enjoy the beauty that is nature, go for a swim (especially if you have joint issues - the water will help with that). Take your mp3 player with you and listen to music as you walk, if you prefer. DO something, though, because sitting on the couch watching reruns and eating cheetos is going to get you nowhere fast. If you want your spouse or kids to make changes, but you refuse to, then how do you expect to have anything happen? You have to be the change you wish to see in the world (thank you, Dalaii Lama for that one).
Go out there and be awesome!
