Life Happens

Be it as it may, life happens…

We live in a culture of enjoying life with family and friends, and for people in the south it all revolves around food.  The food tastes great, but it is very rich in fat and sugar.  My life has followed this same path.  Since my adult life began at the age of 18 I have experienced life by gaining unwanted weight. This came from the combination of enjoying life and stress.

Stress comes from stressors in our life that can be good or bad.  Our body then responds to the stress.  Each response is different and for me when I am stressed I eat.  This has caused me to gain the weight I now want to shed.  I want to remember all of these life experiences, but I have learned it is important to exercise and eat healthy.

I have had time to reflect on the choices I have made.  We cannot live in the past and dwell on what we could, should, or would have done differently.  This is not a “New Year’s Resolution,” but a “Lifestyle Journey.”  This is my Journey of Redefintion!

How are you redefining your health?  What are you willing to do to accomplish the lifestyle goals in your life?  What baby steps are you willing to take to get to the destination you envision for your life?
