If anyone is guilty of this, I am surely the biggest culprit! I understand, from a logical perspective, that I need to excercise and take care of myself. I am an insomniac, who is hugely over weight and who at 50 is starting to have the usual aches and pains that come with this particular territory. Excercise does not come naturally to me and it is something that I have to consciously think about doing and now with owning my own business, I tend to think about it for a nano-second or so before it is dismissed out of hand because of other more pressing issues that need to be dealt with! Not a good thing I know, but there it is.
Ironically, I am the first one to tell my friends and/or colleagues that they need to take care of themselves and excercise properly, eat properly and get enough rest - just when it comes to me I seem to think that I am some sort of 'super woman' who does not need to follow the rules of maintaining good health.
Oh don't get me too wrong - I go every year for my annual check up from head to toe and I tell myself that this enough. I am very proud of the fact that a couple of years ago, I discovered that I was 'slightly' over the acceptable norm for cholesterol and so I gave up beer and drink whiskey instead - that seemed to have sorted that particular problem out and within weeks I was again well within the "norm". I am now conscious of the fact that I may have a problem in that particular area and in all honesty, I am very aware of what I eat. Most of my food is grilled and/or cooked without any oil (except olive, which is actually good for cholesterol), but when it comes to excercise, well that's a whole different ball game for me. It takes time you see!
The botton line here though is don't do as I do, but rather do as I tell you! So I'm telling you all - get proper excercise, eat properly and get sufficient rest - or believe me the Universe will make you do it!
