Following The Plan
Posted by Prairierose on Apr 25, 2009I keep talking to David about different weight loss plans we could try, reading what all we could eat and not eat, and what else would be involved. I’ve even suggested that we could take the medication route. But, I have to agree with him. Even with the best diet pills or right kinds of food, you still have to get up off the couch and do. something. Exercise is a vital part of weight loss. Positive mental attitude is another. There are several different things that have to come together and you make it work, or it doesnt’ matter what you do. Yes, anything you do is going to help. But, to get the full benefit of what you are doing, you need to give each area your best.
I had to laugh at David awhile back. He has gotten into an exercise routine again. When he first started a month or so ago, he would walk evenings — and go to the Rec Center in the mornings. This was great. Except. When he walked at night, he would walk to the grocery store. Its a mile up there, a mile back. Great! you say. So did I. Except, when he walked back, he had 2 plastic bags of groceries. And it wasn’t fruits and vegetables. It was pop and chips. But, he has finally broke himself of that, and now he is just walking in the mornings. I’m proud of him. I know he wants me to join him, but for now … no.
