Visit your local buffet!

I found a motivator tool when I went to eat at the golden corral tonight. Never before have I ever lost my appetite in such a manner. Don't get me wrong, the food was good and I was plenty hungry. It was the other diners that lost it for me. There were at least 4 people there that were over 400 lbs each. Most of the other diners had some sort of weight issue. As a result the plate from my second run to the buffet was 3/4 fruit and I didn't even touch my fried chicken from my first plate. I pushed the chocolate cake around after a couple of bites and I had to push it away. It was maddening. That certainly was enough to motivate me to return to the gym and not give up on my venture. For anyone who has lost their motivation, visit your local buffet!

walking

I have been feeling a bit in the dumps lately and really didn't want to go to the gym today. Exercise always makes me feel better yet sometimes it doesn't seem enough to convince me to get off my duff and do it. As a compromise I decided to go for an hour long walk in my neighborhood. I was hurrying to get home before it got too dark so I could at least start my walk in the light. The most glorious thing about it was that it stayed light the entire walk! I left just after five and got back around six. I really love that the air was clear from smog and the sky was blue. Near the end of my walk I realized that I was feeling much better about life and that things can't be all bad. It felt good to get some fresh air and have time to think without interruption. What a good walk!
