I live a chubby lifestyle. It's true! After whatever rockin' workout I may or may not get in most days, I'm sedentary. I sit - on the computer, on the sofa, at the kitchen table, at a friends', at a bar, at a volleyball match - I'm sitting. And I'm happy to do it!
I eat well til about 4:00. Then I start dinner. I pour a glass or three of wine. Eat my healthy dinner then snack on stupid stuff like pretzels, chips & cheese or chocolate. I sit. And I enjoy it.
This is a classic example of Life GOALS and Life VALUES conflicting! My GOAL is to lose 20 lbs, be leaner, be active. My VALUE is to sit. To be clear, I don't just sit. I mean I do but I'm doing something at the same time; like reading the news to find out what scary shit our government has done in the last 24 hours, reading a book to escape from the reality of our country's scary shit, completing Sudoku (I rock!), doing a crossword (I suck!), scrolling thru Facebook to see which friends lean which political direction (and to see cute videos of cats & kids), occasionally blogging, and, my all time favorite: sitting, drinking wine and talking smart with friends.
You get my point; other than the hour or two spent at the gym or outdoors exercising, I don't move much. And I don't really mind.
Huh, I may need to rethink my VALUES...
Make it a Terrific Day My Friends!
