Monday was the kick off to the company's version of "The Biggest Loser". Everyone was greeted at the door with a big Fuji apple and encouragement to attend the kickoff at lunchtime for details. It's a good program and I'm already doing a lot of the good stuff. One of my downfalls is getting enough exercise. I have a treadmill but it's a love/hate relationship I have with it. I have tennis shoes under my desk at work too. Yesterday I decided early in the morning I'd take a walk at lunch. I've had those shoes at work for months and have never gone for a walk. In a split second I decided that if I didn't put those shoes on, I wasn't going to make it in this biggest loser challenge. That's how it is with me. I sometimes gotta do things I don't want to do. So, I put those shoes on and my iPod and headed out the door for an awesome 20 minute walk.
TAKE AWAY: What I did yesterday isn't going to help me today.
I have to keep approaching each day with a new resolve
to keep doing the things that keep me healthy.
Eat right.
Exercise.
A little mediation.
Some quiet time.
Light box.
Love.
Write.
Laugh.
Pet the dogs.
Put on my tennis shoes.
I remember an interview with Michael Phelps during the Olympics and he said something similar regarding his training "Sometimes you have to do what you don't want to do." So true.
