Challenging the Challenges

Just 4 TodaySo I fell down yesterday.  And that’s not a metaphor — I actually did fall down. I spent a lot of the day worrying that I’d be walk-less for a while because of it. Luckily everything seems just fine (well — I’m still half-paralyzed from the pain in my shoulder but, THAT’s another story) and I’m going to take my morning walk in a couple of minutes.

This sort of thing is typical.  Planning a diet, dreaming about the results — that’s the fun part.  The reality is that there is always something coming along to interrupt those plans.  And (it seems to me) interruptions are much more common during this time of year – The Eating Season – than the others.

So . . . Just 4 Today, I’m going to pick myself up and take a nice long walk (and another one later in the day) – measure all my portions – take my medication & supplements & drink 2 liters of water.

What are you going to do today?

    Hellllloooooo KB,

    So sorry to hear that you fell and I hope you get to being pain free very soon.

    I’m not one to talk, but glad to see you posting. There are a few people on my blog roll that I have missed dearly, and I wish I knew what had happened to them, or if they’ll ever post again.

    J4T I’ll drink at least 2 liters of water. What am I doing today? Well I’ve got a quarterly check-up at my back doctor today. Everything seems to be the same so it won’t be a long appt.

    Besides your shoulder, I hope you are doing well.

    Ouch! What happened??? You would think if there were any justice, the fall would destroy the bone spur. Worst thing that happened to me today was Mason waking up at 4:30 am and then reaching into my robe & grabbing a handful of chest hair…

    Planning a diet & imaginating the results are definitely the fun parts… it’s in the execution where we all get hung up. No arguments about interruptions during Eating Season — if you’re not at one feast, you’re looking at the next one — but it seems like a diet invites interruptions, no matter what time of year.

    J4T I’ll finish drinking my 2l of water, remember to take my fiber sup, and get back on the exerbike. Two days off the bike is enough, my knee has stopped complaining so I don’t have an excuse.
