It's strange how people come into your life who affect you and you don't even know them that well. Let me fill you in, where I work the people who own the store next to us run a motorcycle repair shop. They are a nice couple who actually invited me over for cake when the wife was celebrating her 62nd birthday. Anyway, the man is sick, very sick from what I can gather. They are packing their shop up, I guess they are going out of business. Their friends have been stopping by to help them pack & move, you can tell it is such a sad time for all of them. I feel bad that here they must have worked really hard over the years to have their own business and now sickness is robbing them out of it. The wife looks so sad as you can imagine, she must be dealing with so much. It really makes you look at your own life and say "What the hell am I complaining about"!! Life does go by so fast and then you are at middle age and the body starts to have issues just when you need it most. I mean really your eyesight goes bad, your pains gets worse, things just start flaring up. Then you yell at your self for not taking better care of that body of yours when you were younger...... Last year I think I was in the best shape of maybe my entire life and I let it slip away! I can tell you when your body feels good it really feels good (does that make sense?). I pray I can get back to that soon. I know I CAN do it, it is just a matter of doing it. Like today I bought another box of the weight watcher ice cream bars! I know I can not keep eating them and get back to where I need to be weight wise but I still keep eating them : ( I am at 143.2 pounds this morning and my pants are tight as hell. At work I had to unbutton the top button of my pants to be able to do my job! But yet I was there at Target buying that box of ice cream, WHY! I just don't get it. I have been buying watermelon as much as I can because I LOVE watermelon and I am hoping it will help be move away from the ice cream. It's funny how I find so many reasons to buy the ice cream each day like, I'm tired from work and I need a quick snack, I have had a shitty day, I feel depressed ect., all of these reasons would correct themselves if I would just stop the ice cream because eating right makes your whole out look on things so much better, you have energy for the stress that pops up and you just feel so much better you can handle anything. Isn't it funny how we all know this but yet we still eat incorrectly.
Anyway, I really am going to try and get myself back to feeling better. Just seeing my work neighbor and what he is going through just shows me we don't know how long we have got on this earth but you might as well try and be your healthiest while your here so you can enjoy it!!
Until Next Time - God Bless!!
