Good morning!
Bill I suppose, since we are all conscious
of our weight, that we don't really understand all those folks out there who don't care how overweight they are and just go about living their lives. They dance, they have sex, they go to the mall -
.
I have become a lot LESS self-conscious
when doing new things - for me life literally IS too short etc.
I'm 9 years away from officially being a senior. I've got a lot less life left and mean to LIVE that time, rather than sitting inside and being afraid of how I look doing something.
I now go swimming without worrying about my jiggly thighs or rounded belly. I bike and kayak in spandex and neoprene and don't think about how I look. As long as I'm strong and healthy the cosmetics don't matter
that much to me.
And having a temporary 2 lb. gain on what is a healthy body
well within proper BMI doesn't ruin my day or week. I don't obsess about reaching a certain number on the scale.
I am at peace with my body and my efforts (and I do MAKE an effort) to maintain it's health. All the small stuff is small stuff.
Can you tell it's a holiday here? I am going on and on
as my plan to go out on my SUP has been suspended by rather high winds so I have lots of time this morning.
Think I'll wake DH in a couple of hours and drag him out for a bike
ride. I suspect he's kinda loving/hating having such a fit partner. He refers to me as his "muscle cutie".
Good week all!
Dagmar
