I have been on my journey for about 28 months, in that time
I have gone from only knowing I wanted to lose some weight, and I wanted to get
off all of the medications that I was taking to knowing a lot more about how
food, calories, and exercise works on the body. I have learned also that as you
change your body you have to change the calories in, and you have to change or
increase the exercise and you have to change what you eat and do not eat. I
have also learned that like life itself our bodies are always changing and what
you could eat one day may make you sick the next. But most of all I have l
learnt that the body is amazing it adapts to life changes much faster than or
minds and believes do. I have also learnt that I have to continually read and
learn and to not believe everything that I read. When it comes to diet and
exercise there are as many believes as there are humans in the world. If we are
going to be successful at weight control, diet and exercise we have to find
what works for you and I have to find what works for me. I have found trainers
can be great in helping to come up with an exercise plan, if you take control
and reason out what the trainers are telling you and you then modify that to
work with your own body and conditions. So
what I am saying is do not be afraid to read, research, and or ask question but
understand that you will have to adapted it to what you can do, when it comes
to fiscal conditions and also work time, family time, and personal (me) time.
We have to balance it out and be welling to except that we may not be able to
do it all. It is better to exercise a little less than what we had hoped for
than not to exercise at all. Also be
willing to except that we will not always be able to eat the way we would like
for many reasons such as eating out, going visiting friends and family, and due
to work travels. But if we are armed with knowledge of what works and does not
work we can survive the events and have a wonderful time at the same time. Also
remember we may have a bad day or week or if a long trip a few weeks but we can
fall back and recover and we will make our goals just be flexible about the
timing and be willing to modify the plans as needed. Life is so short so we
should not be so single minded that we do not enjoy the life that God has given
us.
