The beginnning of last year
Excercise: I did not only started the last year as a fat person, I also started as a very very lazy person. Lazyness was kind of a "lifestyle", something, I took very much effort in. I sometimes was even a little proud, how cozy I was all the time while other seemed to be so stressed out. Some years ago, his person was sometimes too lazy to get cigarettes (lazyness beats nicotine-cravings!) and rather did not smoke for some days. So it wasn't all bad, I guess:)
Eating: Two bags of chips instead of lunch? Not a problem! Cooking is overrated anyways and I am not up to this anyway. I hated cooking. I was not very good at it (Today I am still bad with spices), I was not very creative with it and I was too lazy to stand in the kitchen for 10-30 minutes. I just had something frosted "prepared" in the microwave or the oven. I did cook, don't get me wrong. But it wasn't very much fun or motivation involved
The beginning of this year
Exercise: I went for a walk with the dog yesterday. I maybe have to say that this is not a daily routine, since we live on a farm where nearly always somebody is outside and the dog follows us around, "taking the dog for a walk" is not a neccissarity. We went for about 1 1/2 hours. After being home for half an hour I found myself thinking "Wow, I didn't do ANYTHING today" regarding to sports, because I totally forgot about the walk. Don't get me wrong, I know a comfortable walk is not sport. But last year I would have "suffered" 3 days after that kind of walk, which probably would have been a lot shorter. And and this year I even did not remember it half an hour later!
Eating: I ate a Bag of Nacho Chips with homemade cheesedip yesterday. I planned this treat since Christmas, if I would make the 2nd DietBet round. So it wasn't so much of a craving but a plan. Motivationally it was totally ok to eat it. But: I did not like much after being half way through. I still at as if there was no tomorrow - don't think I could have put away half the back, no. But I was aware of not enjoying it as much as I thought. That is a good development in my books. Apart from that I keep on eating as I got used to last year. It is a very good and satisfiying diet and my mind seems to be right set. I can enjoy a day of "bad" eating at a party or just because I need a day timeout, but that does not happen very often. I cook nearly every day, I get inspired by recipes but change them to my needs and taste and I try new things.
The beginning of next year
Exercise: Next year I want to say that I ran and finished 10km (6,73miles) in 2015. When it gets warmer, I will start to train for these 10km, doing them at first with walking included. The goal is to run the whole 10km, pace is not that important. And I bought a seat belt for dogs, since he starts to get a little more comfortable driving with me. And therefore I also want to say that I took long walks with my dog in places he (or us both) has never been before. And maybe also go wor a jog in other places than only our usual rounds.
Eating: I want to be able to stop a meal/food, to which I looked forward to and which turned out not as good as I imagined (or as I remembered from days when I ate EVERYTHING just because it was available). Somebody in the Transformers Bet said, that she (or he?) made a plan for christmas food, about which one really was delicious and which one only was eaten because it is the season. I want to make a similar list. I want to remember, that theese Nachos weren't that good and not worth the calories overall. That I still love a Double Whopper but that once half a year at most is enough because it is not THAT good as I remember. I will also note every "oh sooo gooood" treat-food which comes across me:)
Exercising and eating feels very good and right at the moment (and at the moment is nearly a year now). I hope I can keep that feeling up!
