THIS I KNOW....


The more I eat...the more I want to eat.

The less I exercise...the less I want to exercise.


~~~~~~
When I eat right and do my daily exercises, I feel so much better and I'm energized and ready to do more...but it's so easy to get sidelined and get lazy. This morning, I really planned to get back to my normal routine of exercise and back to my normal "diet". Well, I ate my normal breakfast of bran ceral and skim milk and added my walnuts and fresh blueberries. I played tennis and then planned to go to the gym. But....a friend needed me to take her somewhere and we went through the drive thru at McDonalds for a quick lunch. By the time I got home, a HARD rain started. I felt tired and drained, both physically and mentally. With the sound of the pouring rain, I gave in and just took a l-o-n-g nap. So much for exercising. So much for my plan. Tomorrow is another day though and I have BIG plans.

My cup runneth over with love.... for your sweet comments and bloggy love!! Thank you!

Kat,

I am so glad you had such a nice visit with your family but so sorry that you got the nasty comment. Some people are so jealous that they can’t stand to see other people be successful. I am sorry they made you their target but you handled it with total class.

Enjoy the rest of your week.

Hugs, Lyndy

Long naps while listening to the sound of rain are so wonderful...they help recharge the mind.

I'm still trying to find the amazing resolve and self control I had last year at this time. I am getting to the gym, but I'm just loving to eat way too much right now. As you said, tomorrow is another day.

Oh - I know what you mean! If I have to do the fast food route, I always shoot for Subway. I have to mega diet this week since my daughter fed me so well on my visit!

Glad you are well and "Miss Sour Britches" did not rain on your Florida sunshine!

You should be perfectly proud of yourself and you seem to do more in one day than most of us in one week - seriously!

Take care - Kellan

Boy, I know what you mean about eating and exercise. The older you get the harder it gets to do the right thing. We started cutting down on our eating today after gaining a few lbs. last week. It is hard. I'm hungry right now but think I'll just go to bed and forget about it. It will soon be time for breakfast. Oh boy, CHEERIOS again.

I am finding as I get older that I need those nap times to reenergize. I call them my power naps.....Have a great week my sweet friend.....Mary

I haven't visited in awhile, it's been so busy at our house! But, I just wanted you to know that I enjoy reading your blog. You always seem to remind me about the simple things in life and inspire me to take better care of myself too. (ex. dieting and exercise..ha)Thanks friend!

I'm so far behind in blogging and leaving comments. Not that I want to fill my mind with bad thoughts but I did have to check out that comment that someone left you referred to. Well...your response was great. I live here in Florida too...I call it paradise too!!! And I think we're all rich with blessings and friends.

I know exactly how you can get off track...it's so easy to do...but I'm sure you needed that nap, so don't stress over it, you're right Miz Scarlet, tomorrow is another day!
hugs
Sandi

You are so right. It is nice to enjoy a treat though. I LOVE McDonalda's!!!!!!!!!!!! Big Mac Combo Value Sized....:) Now that's a treat in my book. I am out of my regular exercise routine too. I feel it. I will have time to get up earlier once school starts. I Iike to exercise before I go to school...starts my day off right. I was also doing my Bible Study while I did the eliptical.

Tonja said...

Well, I just feel so convicted! I have not done what I said I would do. I promised myself that as soon as school got out I would start dieting and exercising...didn't. Then said that as soon as I returned from my trip with the girls, I'd get started...didn't. Then, I said as soon as July 4 was over, I'd get down to business...didn't. What am I waiting for? I just can't get motivated! I swore I would not be as big when school started back in the fall as I was in May...and school starts back in a month. I need a big hiding place. I can't decide which diet to do, and I just want one more bowl of ice cream before I start. Yuck! I'm a mess! So, if there is any beating up on oneself...it should be me and certainly not you!

I wake up with such good intentions of eating right and exercising. The eating right is going better than it used to, but that exercise thing...well, let's just say I've barely worked up a sweat in recent history. lol
