I had a rather horrid realization last night. I’m sharing it because I want people to know and hold me responsible to fix it.
I have gained 4 inches around my waist.
Those of you who know me are going “O.o really?” while some of you who don’t know me are going “Psh, I’ve heard worse.” Okay, people who don’t know me, you have a valid point. I’m certainly NOT the widest person I know, and I’m fine with not being the skinniest, too. But I can’t fit into some of my clothes. I’ve got a “muffin top” going on when I wear some of my old favorite jeans. I used to be a twig, as so many called me, and I was very happy being thin and highly athletic. It’s been too long. So I haven’t sunk as far as I could have…but is that any reason to ignore the problem until it gets as bad as it can?
I need to become athletic again….So where shall we begin?
- Running 10 minutes every day (soon to raise and add weights when I reach 30 minutes)
- Tae Kwon Do upon waking up
- Tai Chi before bed
- No more sugary drinks at work (Tea or water to replace)
- Candy (in reasonable portions) ONCE a week at most (keeping track on my task list)
- Two “meals out” a week, otherwise home-brought food and healthy things (keeping track on schedule)
- One piece of fruit every day
And I think that will do it for now.
I’m gonna go eat some fruit.
