Day 5 .... Getting Fit

Happy end of weekend,
Well, I went to my second bootcamp yesterday morning at Central Park. It was really tough. I did as much as I could and I limped home...my arthritic knee feeling the results of too much fitness. What can I say ... I'm not 25.. I'm 63. My body doesn't do all those things that many younger then me can do.

I don't bend, fold or contort that well. And, I breathe really hard when trying to run up and down the stairs at the Fountain in Central Park ... not to mention the push ups, etc. But, the important thing here .. I AM taking it on!!!

I followed up with eating everything in site ... burger, fries, chocolate cookies .. and that's after committing to my health counselor that I would change my eating habits.
What always happens when I commit to changing my food regimen is that I immediately go into deprivation ... I know the things I love will be removed from the OKAY list So I crave them more than ever. It's like a squirrel gathering his acorns ... just in case there won't be enough for the Winter .. only with me .. I eat it all, in ALL seasons!

My excuse: I don't do drugs, I hardly drink, I'm NOT having sex these days ... so DON'T take away my food. I mean, a girl's got to have some pleasure in life.

So, what to do?
I finally went to the grocery store today. I bought fruit, veges, healthy 7grain bread, and all the rest of the recommended foods. I stocked up. Now, the trick ... eat what's in my frig rather than eating poorer choices in restaurants.

Wish me well.

Meanwhile, I walked all over this city and I thought positive thoughts ... "I'm sexy, I'm happy, I'm open to being in love, I'm great, I'm successful, etc." I must admit the little hop in my step was greater with these thoughts.

So, I invite you to take on yourself ... commit to whatever you want to achieve.
Let's do it together.
Remember, I'm doing it with Joshua .... www.mindovermatternyc.com
Happy New week!!!
Thanks,
Ann
