So it has not been a great start to the year, with a death in the family (my beautiful grandmother), the last thing on my mind was whether that chicken drumstick will go straight to my thighs. Recent events have definitely affected my fitness and health. I didn't gain huge amounts of weight but I have significantly reduced exercise and physical activity for the past month. Thinking of adopting some of my late grandmothers lifestyle preferences into my own 'fitness regime'. She was a formidable woman; back in her day she didnt need exercise because when she was my age she was an active woman; tending to 6 children, a farm of animals, a field and orchard of plants, trees and vegetables and her frequent travelling with my grandfather. They didn't eat the 'processed' crap that we consume and is readily available in supermarkets these days; everything they ate was fresh and nothing went to waste. So 2 things of what she used to do and I plan to include in my goal to losing the flab;
1) Reducing processed food and try to consume more fresh food/ingredients instead. (realistically
I don't think I could eliminate processed packaged goods; ie herbs are from bottles, we cant grow certain
herbs here!)
2) Make exercise part of my daily routine. Ie taking the stairs, parking miles away and then walking.
Hey Nenek I miss you and yes I will live healthily and try to make the right choices. Even if I fail once in awhile; it wont be the end of the world. R.I.P my dear grandmother.
