Ironically enough that was kind of the topic in weight watchers this week. Everyone was listing ways that you can enjoy your friends/family without food (which is basically the same as getting through the "bads" in life without using food to cope). Some of the suggestions were absolutely absurd-go canoeing, go sailing, etc. but honestly it is so true! I was so bummed out on Saturday so I went and helped a dear friend of mine get her home ready to put on the market. It was a great distraction and I got to spend time with people that I love-all without food!
The good news is that today-when I got news that my Grandma was in the ICU, I didn't reach for food. I actually took a nap and did a work out. This was a great reaction to dealing with the stress and fear and sadness of my Grandma being in the hospital. It also hit me in another way... it got me thinking about my Grandma's health and about my own.
I want to be healthy. I want to be able to run and jump and fly with my children. I want to laugh and shop and play games with my grand kids. I want to be around. I want to have a good life, I want an active life. The best news is that I have the power to give this gift to myself.
So today I was upward and onward- I jumped back on the health wagon. I'm going to start running. I keep saying this-and it is about time I make it happen. I really need to clear my head and I know that running will help me to do this in a very healthy way. I'm still working out with Bob and occasionally Jillian cause I need the weight training. I love the style of their workouts as I don't get as bored doing circuit training. I am really missing Bob's cross fit workouts from his website-but I just can't justify spending the $10/month on being in his club when I don't have a job and I have like 30 work out dvd's.
I have the tools to give myself a healthy life. I just need to remember to use them.
