Weight Loss and Good Health are at the forefront of most people’s minds. However, there is a considerable gap between thought and action.
When you stop playing a sport (any sport), you inevitably lose the fitness edge that helped you stay in the game.
Fitness falls away ever so slowly; we don’t even recognise that we are losing it.
Weight goes up a little, ever so slowly. The only time we notice it is when we let that belt buckle out a notch or when that dress that fits so perfectly feels tight when you sit down.
At the same time, our health starts slowly moving in the wrong direction, and the following issues and many other complications can impact the quality of our lives.
- Feeling irritable
- Problems sleeping
- Depression
- Disconnected from reality
- Isolation from friends
- Problem concentrating
- Changes in weight and appetite
- Feelings of guilt
- Elevated blood pressure
- Elevated sugar levels
It could also be that none of these applies to you, but that doesn’t mean your health hasn’t started to decline.
When you consider the most profound definition of life I have ever heard is that it is a “sexually transmitted terminal disease” you have to agree your health is changing every day.
Good Health
It would help to decide whether you are a passenger or a driver.
Passengers go where the journey takes them; drivers decide where they are going and how they will get there.
Bad habits can affect the quality of your life without you realising it. Identifying those bad habits, changing them, or replacing them with good ones is always a challenge.
Finally, it’s about ensuring those new habits become part of your everyday activity and understanding that temptations will always exist.
