Re-setting Goals- Getting HEALTHY

So It's Post-Cruise reality. Yes it truly is. On a Cruise one is so spoiled with all the delectable and savory delights. It's a cornucopia of gourmet dishes & guilt-ridden desserts that tantilize every sense- It's absolute heaven. Luckily, Jason and I were determined not to come off the ship packed with too much personal cargo and this was helped by deciding to take time to exercise appropriately 5 out of those 7 days of heaven. Previous to past cruises I've lost weight in order to enjoy the cruise....after the cruise, I'm CURSED with laziness and lack of motivation...it's unbelievable. Then the effects of lacking the motivation, going back to old eating habits will develop into 30 more lbs of me to love and 30 more lbs of me that my joints would love to hate. In addition, I'll never wean myself off my high blood pressure medicine...and I feel at the age of 33, I shouldn't be on them. How does this happen? How does food do that to one's psyche? Because it tastes good...and it translates to good times right? It's a topic of conversation and enjoyment, and essentially with how much food we have accessibility to, eating food has also become an "Extracurricular Activity". I think to a certain point the abundance of food is a curse. We are guided to portion control and eating "sparingly", yet we are victims of rationalizing that it's okay to eat more just because we CAN. I do believe we should be able to eat what we want...but if it plagues our health, we really need to face the reality of what effects it has on our lives. It's interesting how the diets have changed as well...yes fast food restaurants, food to go at your favorite eat-in restaurants, easy meals and canned goods have plagued our lifestyles...and have profited from our "TIME" by making our life "easier". Concerns for the disease of obesity and diabetes on the rise...I need to snap out of my "I love and want chocolate and ice cream mode" to...."I need to get healthy mode". I'm choosing to be Healthy. That's why I'm typing out this blog to motivate myself again on the eating sparingly diet (HCG diet). Who's with me?............................................Wait a minute.......................are those the sounds of crickets?
