Keep Moving and Doing

Poor Snookie :( It's not even 9pm and Snookums is already asleep - has been for the better part of an hour. He said he wasn't feeling well earlier. Seems like my poor husband is always sick. I wish I could get him to eat better, get some exercise, take a multi-vitamin. Something to help his body. It's like he's ALWAYS sick or injured. I know how that existence feels. It's just that... existing, not living. Maybe someday he'll come around and see that the way I live isn't a sacrifice, but freedom! Freedom from the disease and despair that was my unhealthy former life. I've never felt better mentally or physically (disregard the occasional bad day, I am human after all). You'd think it would be easier for him to just give in to me and eat what I cook, take a couple vitamins and come to the gym once in awhile. I'd stop nagging! I nag out of love and he knows that.

Today started out very lazy and relaxed. I slept in until almost 10am, spent most of the day lounging around. But, by afternoon I started to get restless. I need to keep moving and doing. I'm terrible at sitting around for very long. So of course, I went to the gym. I love a great workout, especially when I've got nothing else in the world to do. Snookums did all of the housework yesterday!

Even though my Y Story has been up for weeks now, it seems like everyone is just now seeing it. A day doesn't go by that someone doesn't engage me in discussion about it, but today was crazy! At least 10 people stopped me to have a conversation about it. One guy even chatted me up while I was on the StairMaster! Most people won't interrupt while I'm working out, but the second I take a rest break or get off a machine, I'm free-game. I don't mind it, really. If I can help someone else struggling with their weigh, then it's worth it. So many people think that their hard work is in vain, but I'm living proof that living a healthy lifestyle does work over the long term. You may not lose as much as quickly, like many diets promise, but over time you'll lose more, keep it off and learn healthy habits that will stay with you for life. It feels really great to NOT be a slave to food or a diet anymore. It also feels really good to not be a slave to the elliptical or treadmill. I don't have to workout for 3 hours a day just to feel successful. I used to be so obsessive...

I'm starting to get a little hungry. I'm thinking tonight's snack will be oatmeal with fruit and nuts. Yep, I eat at night *gasp*!

Wow, I was really on my fitness high horse tonight, wasn't I? Sorry, you can't fault me for being passionate!
