Finding Out Stuff I Already Knew
It's Saturday morning and by 5.30am I am wide awake and can't get to sleep, so what do I do?.....I get the iPad and start researching about being over forty and how it effects your weight....stupid thing to do really at such an early hour, when I should be sleeping in! Any way I found out stuff I already knew, such as I am slightly overweight for my build (my belt has already told me that one), that when you're over forty your metabolism slows down, you are more stessed (especially women and especially me in 2011), harmonal (definitely me again), and less active (especially now since it is Winter, and too cold and too dark to go and walk the dog). So what should I do? I know I need to cut down the food intake at dinner time (I'm extremely good at breakfast and lunch time during work days) and cut down on any snacking after dinner and cut down even more on the wine (weekends are harder to be good for me as I am so much more relaxed (maybe a little too relaxed), but I'm good the rest of the week, usually), and I need to move my body more.....but it's so dark outside when I am not at work. That leaves the weekends at the moment to do the physical stuff. We have been going on our little walks and adventures so that's a start. Well there you go, we have already started on our journey to healthier bodies, on weekends anyway! We just need to be a little more active during the week. I am so grateful that I woke up soooooooo early just to find out stuff I already knew. And when I lie in bed thinking that I should just get up and go for a walk or jog, I should actually get up out of bed and go for that walk or jog and not get the ipad , and not research anything I already know and not snuggle up to Dave and fall back to sleep. Well I am only human, and we can't all be perfect!
