I am having a lovely weekend, it is free of any commitments to others and appointments, just Reg, Indigo the dog, and me, doing exactly what we like, in our own time, keeping each other company and enjoying life.

With no commitments, just choosing what I wanted to do, I have chosen a quiet day with the TV on, watching parts of the Winter Olympic Games, blogging, creative writing, a few home chores, the laundry and healthy delicious meals for two, also my  full body workout, which I now feel lazy if I do not do.

It is three weeks since I began my new exercise routine, so I should be through the hard part, it should now be ‘habit’.

I have experimented to try to work out the ideal time plan that is going to allow me to fit in all my busy life activities, when we are travelling between locations. Today I feel I have found the time management formula, I will be able to make work and one that is compatible with the contradictions of my love of sedentary creative arts and my need to be an active, person so I have the fitness level and health I desire

I can see that my current exercise and eating plan is working for me and I know that for me exercise is an incredibly important part of my initial weight loss and latter on, weight management journey. Three years ago, I was unhealthy, morbidly obese and almost very sedentary. I will never be one to exercise for the love of exercise, I LOVE what exercise does for ME and I exercise because I have learned to respect and love myself.

I know for some people, the area in their life they are working on improving is the eating part, and they do not have a problem with being active, and here am I, with no desire whatever to eat chocolate or chips. How different are we?

Certainly, no one fitness plan suits us all. The basics of energy balance remain the same but just as some people clean the skin successfully with little more than water and others have a beauty parlour of brand loyal or assorted creams and lotions, there is no ‘one size fits all’, anything. That is why I always suggest, ‘ask for personal guidance from experts’, in anything your wanting to master.

I took a look, at forum topic about blackhead treatment, about two weeks ago. I left my own advice in there, knowing at the time, mine would not be the usual suggestions. That is just an example of how, what feels right for my face, and what feels right for me to do for my body, may not be a program that is manageable nor desirable, for another.

Each person does, what works, for them.  The only time we need question this, is if what we are doing is not working and then it becomes a case of not continuing to do the same thing we always did and expecting a different result. Sometimes we have to change from what is comfortable, to attain a goal we seek. Sometimes it is even fun to push outside of our comfort zone, try something new, increase activities, and discover, we are getting results after only three weeks as I have just doneJ.  It is fun, when we get to see some results.
