No I Don't Want To

This blog is about my journey to improve myself and my life.  Part of that journey is  trying a variety of techniques to attain positive results.  I have been on a diet as long as I can remember. I am not good at it because I don't want to journal, I don't want to count calories, and  I don't want to count reps while exercising.  So I have decided I don't want to be "on a diet" but I do want certain results. 

This is how I want to achieve the results I am interested in.

Cooking and food.  I select a recipe based on whether or not I have the ingredients, it sounds interesting or challenging to make, and if the ingredients are "healthy".  I choose to eat  proper portions.  I follow the recipe and divide it up and take it for my lunch at work.  Eating the same thing everyday is not that big a deal to me.  Next week I will find another recipe that sounds good.  I just want achieving results to be the result of the  decisions I have to make on a daily basis no matter what my lifestyle is. I don't want to feel like I have to find extra time or make extra work for myself.  It has to be easy and efficient.

Moving or exercise.  I make time most weeks to go the gym and do Wii Fit Plus.  In addition, I use a stretchy band for only minutes at a time, I might run or march in place if I have 1 or 2 minutes left on my timer or during commercials.  The point is, I stretch, run in place, lift a dumbbell or two while just moving around the house.  It all adds up and at least I don't ever do "nothing". 

The bottom line on moving:  Move your body in such a way as it feel good to you.  Hold yoga poses, stretch, stretch, and stretch some more, run.  Do whatever "off the to top of your head" moves you can whenever your have a minute or two.  Start today......and remember:  doing SOMETHING is better than doing NOTHING.

Another thought:  Success breeds success!!

I just want to make life  simple and efficient.

Remember, your success is NOT measured by how much time you spent journaling, counting calories, but by the change in attitude, food choices, and how your body moves and looks.  In other words: visible results!!

I can, I will!!

I am soooo with you on the counting calories, reps and food journaling. "I don't want to either!!" I have cut wheat out because I feel better when I don't have it in my diet and also sugar. I try not to eat after 6PM. I now need to get walking and gardening back into my routine. Yes, let's stay in touch and encourage each other. there are many beginnings after 50 and I want to be a part of them:)
