Reality Check
So I was doing my monthly self-exam a couple of nights ago and found a couple of very small lumps in one of my "girls". I've seen the doctor and it looks like everything is just fine, but it was kind of a reality check.
Here I am, fretting about pounds and inches and points eaten or not eaten. And the most important thing (which I had apparently forgotten along the way) is the goal of GOOD HEALTH. It doesn't matter how you look if you're sick. And if you aren't giving your body good food and not exercising, you're not going to be healthy for long.
When you're young, you can get away with eating like total crap. But when you hit your forties, that stuff starts catching up with you. It's time for me to start treating my body like the precious thing that it is - if I expect it to perform well and if I expect to feel good, I'd better be fueling my body in such a way to get the results I want.
So I think I've gotten a big reality check - my health is precious and I need to treat it accordingly. More fruit and salad, less chocolate in my future.
I hope everyone reading this is doing well!
