So I have once again decided it is time to get fitter and lose some weight. My friends are rolling their eyes, knowing how often I've said this and knowing I've only accomplished it a few times. Don't get me wrong - I never say it lightly, I never plan to spend a year on my ass, doing not much at all, ignoring most rules of good nutrition. So here I go, once more unto the breach, into battle against my own poor self-control and the temptations of the refrigerator. "Set goals," some people say, or, "Just eliminate bad stuff from your cupboards." All admirable strategies, none of which have worked for me. I'll just do it my own way, hoping and praying (literally) to become a fitter, healthier woman.
To all those who join me in this endeavor, "Be strong, and of good courage!" It is a fine balance between being happy with ourselves just the way we are, and struggling with either the way the world says we should be or our own desires to change. I do not want to become someone who worries much at all about the way I look. I would like to be able to go for a hike without huffing and puffing, live with less body pain, and shop in a regular store.
So I guess I do have goals. I'll work toward them with that in mind - my own satisfaction and health. Onward and upward!
