It seems like yesterday I was in shape and down to 127 pounds, (I’m 5′2 so by doctors’ recommended weight that is still on the heavier side). I was working out three days a week and I was feeling really good about my results. Then I went on vacation, made lots of excuses not to work out and ate at Wendy’s a few times. 5 months later, I have ballooned to 145 and my clothes hardly fit, what a reality check. so it’s back to the gym three mornings a week, watching my carbs and sugars and no Wendy’s or Taco Bell.
I know the basics of eating right and working out but like most of us I don’t always follow them. I think basics relate not to our health but also everything else in our life. How easy it is to watch TV at night instead of talking with our spouse and children? The question “How was your day?” and the answer “fine” just doesn’t count as conversation. Even at work, we know what we should be doing, like getting to work on time, giving a full days effort and asking for more responsibility.
I realize how easy it is to let things slide and get off track. As I get back to my basics, I hope you do too. I hope the last quarter of 2007 is your best.
Lastly, if you have gotten off track financially, comment back to me about your weak spot when it comes to handling your money, your anonymous dilema could be my next post. Don’t get caught up about the weighty topic of real estate and finances, ask me, for I love to help give you ideas. Plus, I need more topic ideas to keep you reading my blog!
