In my life, now is the phase where i have to think about health, about reducing weight so that i wont't be in the obesity category, to be fit, to enable me to run and play without having to face the out-of-breath situation at only the first 2minutes....hmmm....
It is not that before this i did not need to think about reducing weight and stay healthy but before this my life, my schedule is very different. I eat a lot but i remained thin because all the calories were used. But now...i eat a lot, but i do nothing. So the calories were all turned to fat which then turned me to over weight. I have lost the pleasure of eating a lot but did not put on weight. Missed those years...
Ok...enough of the pass....time move on and so do us...we need to move on....and this is what make life interesting...you were given different set of tasks at different time...so you need to once in a while strategize again to fit our conditions...or else life will be bored la kan ;)
I would like to be fit. This is my mission. And this mission is in my dream. Execution wise - failed.
I wondered why it failed. And i say to myself, because i love eating. I don't see ways on aligning the mission and the action. Hence the mission become mission impossible, the version of mission impossible without mr tom C in it...
I've read in Dr Covey book on how a man decided to be healthy....the story goes like this....
I had been working very hard in my career. By the time i turned forty-five, i was quite successful. I was also about sixty pounds overweight, a compulsive eater during times of stress, and one who didn' t have time to exercise regularly because of work. On his fifth birthday, my son, Logan, gave me a book on healthy living. Inside, his mother had helped him write the following words: "Daddy, for my birthday this year, I want you to be healthy. I want you to be around a while". Talk about a punch in the gut..ouch...that plea from my son changed my perspective of my lifestyle completely....
The story above is quite long in Dr Covey's book and i am lazy typing. But this man committed himself to being healthy for his children, not to lose weight but to be healthy. The plea from his son is a strong driver to him to be healthy. So, i need that strong driver too. I need a real purpose, the end in mind of what i wanted from this mission. And in order to stay persistent, i need to remind myself of the purpose and vision again and again...
But yes....what else could be a good driver for you other than your love ones. We need to be healthy for our love ones so that we could go through life with them happily. We can't compromise work and money with health. Working and working while ignoring health will most likely resulted with us spending that money that we earned to cure our unhealthy body. And if we die due to our recklessness in taking care of our body, then we shall have to answer to Allah. So, why choose this option?
No time to exercise? I often gave these reasons.....and well....there are reasons that you can get rid of...if you want to....
The truth is ugly....but yes....we are what we choose to be...We are responsible to our own body....so before its too late....minna san...let's practise healthy life style :)
