Good To My Word

Well, I did it.

I stuck to the word of my last email and just forgot about my diet for the duration of my Christmas break  with my family.  The interesting thing was though, that I did not really over indulge in anything.  I just wasn’t that attracted to foods that were particularly bad. I would honestly confess to no more than 8 glasses of wine, 3-4 lagers, 6 chocolates, a few pieces of Christmas cake and shortbread, a bag of potato crisps and a bit more bread than I would normally indulge in [and that was because there was no alternative]. And this was over an eight day period. I actually preferred to search out healthy food and felt sluggish if I had too many carbohydrates.

That may sound boring to many, but it is more that food was not the center of my attention. I was too busy reading, catching up with family and friends, shopping [it's a girl thing!] and playing golf.

I didn’t keep up with my exercise regime as I had no hand weights or DVD player available. I didn’t even go walking each day as I just couldn’t find the time. I was however playing nine holes of golf each day, thats pulling a trundler, not lazying it up in a golf cart. Whilst not a great cardio exercise, it nethertheless was refreshing to be outdoors in beautiful settings for a couple of hours a day. I felt I was exercising my soul as much as my body.  And my golf improved, that’s a bonus.

I have now returned to my office and catching up on site updates and emails will keep me chair bound for the next few days. I feel really eager to get back into my regular healthy exercise and diet routine. It just proves how the body adjusts from conditioned bad habits to good habits.

What better start to 2007 than to be anxious to return to healthy daily lifestyle routines. So to help you get started, the theme for January 2007 will be setting goals and getting action, so watch out for the upcoming posts and the feature articles on the home page of antiaging-wellness.com

 Happy New Year
