Living with Intention


Someone recently told me that I was lucky that my weight stays so constant. My response was,  I work at it, it’s intentional, luck has nothing to do with it. By that I mean that I am mindful of what I eat, when I eat, and how much I eat. It’s not an obsession with food, it’s a lifestyle pattern that has evolved over time. I am also cognizant of the type and amount of physical activity I build into my day and week. Being physically active is a  priority, I enjoy it, I look forward to it, it energizes me. I schedule it and it is sacred time, it doesn’t get canceled.

The morale of this story is that good futune or luck is not the reason one lives a healthy lifestyle. You choose a healthy lifestyle, it is by design, you can elect to eat healthfully and exercise regularily or you can elect not to. What do you choose?
