Facing the Facts of Life
"Oh, sir, it's only a tiny, little, thin one."
I do have the advantage of having done lots of sports in my teens and early twens. Running, cycling, weightlifting (not bodybuilding!) but I am now at an age where I'm faced with the fact, that if I don't change something soon, I will become fat and unfit...
Having arrived at that conclusion I figured, I'd start with a healthier diet, after all that's the easier part, innit? Turns out, not so... I currently simply have no appetite for healthy stuff at all, but rich, meaty stuff and plain old junk food have got quite an appeal. And Vitamin C alone is just not enough...
And then I realized, that that's just consequent. I mean, what more does a body need, that only walks from one computer to the other? Exactly! And then I remembered the stuff I used to eat, when I still did sports. Right! Yoghurt, muesli and sometimes even gasp! some fruit...
So here it is: I guess I'm gonna have to pick up running again... There I said it! Well, I'll keep you posted ;-)
Re: Facing the Facts of Life
problem is: healthy food maybe nice on occasions, but it is not in winter. winter requires a high-fat, high-kohlenhydrate(whats the name for it again?) diet. we're all neanderthals, you know? then comes spring. running around in spandex trousers and eating fruit is much more suitable in spring. and: you'll have to cook for a much bigger family now, tasty eintopfs like kartoffelsuppe are value=money and good food! sorry for my pidgin-english, but i wasn't sure if you would understand italian, which is the only true language for food-related topics(+ i haven't seen any mentioning of muesli and stuff in talks about the mediteranean diet...). my husband is also whining about getting fat, but i guess, this is just a sign of coming of age, ain't it ;-) ?
