Have you felt that beautiful sun on your face? Although the last couple days have been rainy, the last couple weeks have been amazing, especially for Indiana. We, as a family traveled north to celebrate Memorial Day with both sets of our parents. This was quite the adventure.
Both sides of our families are prone to be on the heavy side, but I wanted all of us to participate and enjoy ourselves. That is often hard when you are overweight and you feel like you are sitting on the outside watching everyone “play” and you can only cheer them on.
For my family most of their activity would focus around sedentary games such as cards, or checkers. Not this year, we had yard games set out and enjoyed a very entertaining afternoon. The smallest increase in your activity level is a change for the better. We spent several hours playing yard golf (you know, the game where you throw golf balls on a string over a goal made of PVC). This very limited activity level got a good portion of the family dancing and taunting the rival team in good old fashion fun.
All in all it was a day for the scrapbook, having both grandpas even one of the grandmas swing those balls and crying out in frustration. How many of those days do we have in our past? I can tell you I have a whole lot more in my future.
RUN DO NOT WALK! Make that change today, start out with the small things like yard golf. Not only are you making memories for you, your children and your whole family you are scrapbooking the ever changing face of your journey. Be an inspiration, a motivation to those around you. Make a difference. Make your own support group at home and them come and compare notes and learn others approaches at the support groups at Clarian Bariatrics.
