]]> Comment on A Yearning Greater than Weight Loss by Janet http://patbarone.com/yearning-greater-weight-loss/#comment-1054 Janet Thu, 19 Jan 2012 16:03:21 +0000 http://patbarone.com/?p=3143#comment-1054 I resonate with your points in this posting. My experience in coaching people who are overweight and in my own life is that the most important part of getting healthy is knowing that yourhealthy vision is bigger than the 'comfort foods' or 'time on the couch'. The instant gratification. It's not an easy journey and most seek 'instant' success. I resonate with your points in this posting.

Don't forget that YOU can define what an activity session is for yourself. I have clients who define it as "turning on the music and dancing like crazy behind their desk for 10 minutes" and I have executives that have it defined as "a 13-minute walk around their office park." That's cool! Make it YOUR decision, your limits. My purpose of the post is not to tell anyone what to do, or to suggest they do it my way, but to demonstrate how I've found my groove. After all, this works for my lifestyle and has evolved over time. Find something that works for you. Just remember, YOU are the most important person on earth to YOU. Love, Pat Thank you Bonnie.

I have been able to tell the difference working out at least 30 minutes this past year. I will now have to add a new goal to the 2012 plan --- find a way to get a 30 minute walk into bowling day and to strongly reconsider not taking days off and making excuses. Congratulations on keeping your weight off permanently and sharing your wisdom with me. I appreciate you Bonnie Wow Pat!

Here's the tally: In 2011, I had <strong><em>417</strong></em> exercise sessions! There were 365 days. I had 9 days with no activity. There were 61 days where I accomplished 2 sessions a day, such as yoga in the morning and a walk in the evening, or I was teaching a full day seminar and split a walk into two thirty-minute morning/evening sessions. That's it. No dieting. No deprivation. No sick days. No excuses. I have a bum knee with no meniscus and they want me to have a knee replacement but, so what? It looks like our winner is Teri and our 2d prize goes to Jules! I will be contacting you to send your prizes! Congratulations! Love, Pat Awesome guesses everyone! Here’s the tally:

But my activity levels this year gave me amazing reserves of energy and vitality and I experienced not one down day of energy lag, illness or fatigue. Not one! My permanent weight loss journey has taught me how to care for my body in a way that fuels my life. Believe me, not what I expected at all! I was always the person trying to "get out of" exercise. Excuses. Pretending. But, as I get more in touch with what my body needs, I find I move more and feel more alive when moving. Also, notice many "activity sessions" were a simple 30 minute walk (that's my minimum). Given my sedentary coaching/writing profession, this is not excessive at all. A 30-minute break between clients when I've been sitting for a while is welcome both physically and mentally. Think how much more productive offices would be if they had a quarter-mile track built around the perimeter of the office! All that sitting/computing does a body sad!
