| One day about 3 months ago I decided to start living better. Not because someone told me to, not because I didn't like what I was, not because I was afraid for my health. It started with me talking to a co-worker who liked to jog, and me thinking, "I should try jogging..."
So I now jog, bike, walk, and will soon start swimming once again, something that I loved to do as a kid. I lift weights nearly every day, but mostly because that helps in my job, which can be labor intensive. I drink more water and juice, and if I have to drink soda, it's diet (which I didn't think I'd ever get used to, but I now find regular pop to be far too sweet). I eat way more fruit and veggies (I've had 2 oranges, an apple and 3 bananas today, surpsising how filling that can be).
I'm not trying to lose weight, and I never think of it as a diet, it's just a healthy lifestyle, and it's fairly easy to get used to. In fact, I find that instead of trying to think of reasons not go for a jog every day, I'm always trying to find time to squeeze it in, because I like it. I feel a lot better and my work is much easier.
Bottom line is, before a few months ago, I'd have said I'd never do anything like this, because I didn't want to. My time was precious to me, and I wouldn't spend it doing things I didn't want to and eating things I didn't like. Thing was, I didn't realize that it's not only not bad, it's pretty cool. So don't think of it as a diet, or an exercise regiman, and before you know it, it'll become second nature. My willpower's not all that great, but it's not about willpower, its just about making a decsion. At least it was for me. |
