My thoughts of the day

My Thoughts for the day 7th Jan 2014
As my birthday approaches, I cast my mind back to a promise I made to myself as I approached my 40th birthday. I said to myself at the time I did not wish to be fat and 40, so did something about it by eating the right things and exercising. I reached my goal and since then have adopted the same attitude to each birthday. At times I had let myself go but always managed to correct the damage by the time my birthday came around. Please do not read me wrong, I have nothing what so ever against people who carry extra weight, In fact some of the happiest people I know are big people.
Keep in mind these are just my thoughts and having been involved in sport all my life, it was important for me to try to stay fit. Keeping fit is important to me as it goes hand in hand with my personality and who I am ,will leave other people to judge, if they have a problem with who I am. Sorry their problem not mine so they are better off to walk away.
I know last year I did a lot of walking in aid of Puttinu Care, coupled with quite a few squash sessions and gym workouts. However over the festive season I know I overdid the eating bit, do not drink so alcohol was not the problem. Was back in the gym for squash and workouts the day after Christmas keeping in mind my 72nd birthday was fast approaching.
Just jumped on the scales 7th Jan and over the moon, reached my goal already. Just have to tone up the muscles for a few weeks to feel good going into my 72nd year.
Thank you God for your faith in me and allowing me to be me, I know the second set of footprints in the sand are yours as you walk by my side though this confusion called life. Picking me up when I fell and making me believe there is a reason I have been placed on this planet.
