Many people need to revise their physical story. Issues of overall health, weight, choices of habit (or lack of habit), self-image…the list for where to begin is long.
Few of us get it all right. Like most, I have my weak points. I have some things going for me…non-smoker, no drug habit, no prescriptions thus far.
I have some struggles. I never met a carb I didn’t like. I’m short (5’2″). I don’t particularly like to work out, though I do it, mostly out of guilt and fear of losing ground if I don’t make it to the gym.
My biggest challenge…I love to cook, and I enjoy food.
I’ve always used portion control to manage weight. And I generally have a healthy diet, supplemented by a few favorite sweets now and then.
Though this site can’t compete with Pinterest to offer recipes or work out posts, I can use this space to encourage readers to be healthy. We can all use reminders, right?
