Being Deliberate
Katie J linked to the Christine's blog the Deliberate Life. She linked to a particular post titled "How to Lose 100 Pounds Cheap and Easy." After I read this post, I realized that I haven't been taking my weight loss journey all that seriously. If I want to lose weight, it's up to me to make the right choices and decisions. I know I have to eat less and move more. I know, in truth, there are no miracles. And I am the only one who can lose the weight—no one can do it for me. Even if I were filthy rich and could hire people to do most anything, I still couldn't hire someone to lose weight for me.
Christine recognized that you have to be brutally honest with yourself to succeed. You can't sneak bites of brownie and expect to lose weight. You have to exercise; she chose to walk. Exercise doesn't have to cost a thing. There really are no excuses. So I think I'm getting to a new place—a new mind set. I've been deliberately moving more, no matter how little, just to do it. I'm more conscious of every bite I put in my mouth. I also have a better understanding of why I continue to overeat despite what I know. So now I'm working on moving forward.
P.S. It depends on what's really important to you.
Baby Oil Allergy
Of all things to be allergic to, I'm allergic to baby oil. How do I know? I was using it to soothe dry, winter skin. But I kept getting itchier until finally I developed a full, blown rash. It's just now going away. I had no idea you could be allergic to baby oil. Isn't it made from hypoallergenic ingredients? Well, take a look at the label. Right there it says, "If rash develops, discontinue use." Seriously. So beware of that strange winter rash. It may be from baby oil.
Later—
