It's been a few days since I felt the need to write anything. I have been ok. Staying focused, not a 100% faithful to the plan but getting there. I usually start out slow, focussing on analyzing what is is I have been eating and trying to break free of the carb cravings. I have been good at not eating after dinner also. I tend to eat dinner a little late due to my work schedule. By the time I get home and cook I really don't need anything to snack on to hold me to the morning. I tend to ignore the need and just go with the want. I want something sweet at night while I watch TV. Habit I picked up from my stepdad who eats Ice cream every night, or he used to. At 60 this habit has finally caught up with him. Regardless of his weight which has always been within the guidelines, he has now developed heart issues and is watching his cholesterol. Just goes to show nobody is immune to bad eating habits. So and so may look thin and healthy but that does not mean they are. I have been a nurse for 30 years in primary care and I have seen many, many different ailments in many, many shapes and sizes. So don't be envious of those who appear fitter and healthier than you. Underneath they may be a train wreck. It alway infuriated me that people look at overweight people and make judgement calls. Did you read about the guy who ran 10 miles a day, ate healthy foods and dropped dead on the side of the road. I did. Perfect specimen on the outside, but something was a miss on the inside. In contrast the obese lady who has perfect blood pressure, low cholesterol and no signs of diabetes. I am not saying that in time she won't have problems but it isn't fair to assume she will, and its foolish to assume the jogger is in good health. As we age all things change. The only thing you can do is keep trying to improve yourself and keep active. That I have seen with my own eyes. Age is debilitating that is true, but those who do their best to stay active seem to fair better than those who do not. The 80 year old who does yoga lives much more comfortably that the 80 year old who sits in her house all day. Just and observance.
