Listening to my body

 


The older that I get the more I realize that I need to start listening to my body.  I have never been one to be in tip top shape, but I have definitely let myself go over the last six months.  I know that the stress of finishing school and other things have added up to this blob that I am now. But it is time to put those excuses to bed and start paying attention to my body.  It is telling me that I need to make changes if I want to live a healthier existence. I know some of those changes will be hard, but I am stronger than I give myself credit.  I can do it.  It is just a matter of discipline, which has never been my strong point except for the vices in my life. 

It's just where I am right now.  I hate to see pictures of my current self.  It is quite embarrassing, and it is time for me to do something about it.  Having to constantly buy new clothes because my old ones no longer fit.  And I wear something until it turns into rags, so having to restock takes a toll on my psyche.  I just know that if I don't turn some things around, I may not get the chance to do that down the road.  It will be a good challenge for me.  And, as an adult, I love a good challenge.  We shall see how things go.  I need to start checking in with myself daily as far as my weight, BP, and other things go to see where I stand.  I can do this.  It is just what is on my mind this morning.  That is all.
