A torrential day in the north end of Niagara Falls… Warm, but wet! Fine day for a walk. 1.7km to go and I hit my 10km mark. I don’t know what it is about the rain, but it brings me inner peace. It embraces you. The Arc’teryx makes all the difference… I walk in 2.5 to 3km sets, never more than four times in a day, but I never miss a day. Even when I start waffling, I know when I get out there, that will all disappear. That said, just like a diet day, not every walk is easy. I sometimes struggle from beginning to end, turning around early because I just can’t make it. But three hours later, I’m back out there. Sometimes that walk is no easier, but I don’t give up for some reason. It just isn’t in me, and before I know it, everything is okay again. There was a time, not very long ago, that I used to cave to that waffling feeling every time! It is why I couldn’t diet in the past. Now, when I do cave, it makes me nervous. I used to think that was guilt, but what it is, is that I am afraid I will cave again the next time. So, now when I do cave, I am determined that it is just going to be this one time. I love my tomorrows. I refuse to turn them into a struggle. I think you have to trust that dieting is that way too. That doing your part on those days that you don’t really want to, that by the end of those days, everything is going to be alright. The thing about dieting is finding that instant gratification. That thing that makes you feel good about doing it. Find something enjoyable about the process. What makes dieting interesting for you? For me it is wellness. I think it is for a lot of us, but we get lost in overcomplicating the process.

I love this photo! And your post. It's such a great way of thinking. Skipping something occasionally is totally fine, but trying not to skip it twice in a row is a great goal!

Absolutely Suriliel: Where is the enjoyment in life if we have to give up everything that we love. I can’t remember the last time I had a piece of chocolate cake, with chocolate icing and two scoops of vanilla ice cream, but when the right piece of chocolate cake comes along, that baby is mine. I’ve earned it damn-it… but it’s not going to be just any piece of chocolate cake! I think the big difference is in how I feel about myself. By that I mean, I care for myself a lot more than I used to. Because of how I feel about myself, I probably will not gorge myself the way I might normally. I think that is the real key to enjoying your diet. I don’t even think of it as that nasty word “moderation”! I think of it as self-compassion. It makes me feel good about myself and that is what keeps me coming back…

I hope you find your perfect piece of cake! I know what you mean there. Sometimes I feel like indulging and I do and whatever I had was just not worth the calories and it's disappointing, haha. I want to give it back and have a do-over 😂

Hey Suriliel: I get what you are saying :) Weight loss is not my goal, but with what I have planned, it is part of it. I don’t want to miss out on what makes me happy trying to achieve something. Like I say, my goal is wellness, and for me, that means balance. Like every other weight warrior out there, we are willing to change everything to reach our goal. The key for me, is remembering what my goal is. If I am just fighting for weight loss alone, I would lose that war, because losing the weight is not enough for me. If I am not happier, healthier, and more mindful doing something that I will have to do for the rest of my life (weight loss for most of us is not a one time thing), then I will have to reassess my goals. I love myself that much! Life is too short. That said, I am not arguing for that piece of cake, I am arguing for the importance of having a meaningful goal and what it is going to make you happy to achieve that goal. I just lost my first pound today, so I am not ready to give that up for that piece of cake and ice cream. But, in six months, if I have reached my first goal of 195, then I am going to my favourite little patisserie for a quiet moment with an espresso, and I am taking all my wellness with me. No guilt. No shame. Just happy doin’ what’s it is I’s doin’ and nuphin’ else…

Walking is my favorite physical/mental health break, I do a mile everyday come rain, shine or snow. Some days when it's -30 (C), I'm sure burn more calories getting all those extra layers on than I do walking... LOL! Although my chart shows I want to lose another 10 lbs. right now I'm just maintaining, with all the other things going on in my life (spouse with worsening dementia), keeping the 40 pounds off that I've already lost is a priority. It's 0 degrees and snowing lightly where I live, I just came back from my walk and after a rather stressful morning, I feel sooooooo much better.

Hi Sideview: One mile is right there in my comfort zone, and it does burn calories, not to mention, what I like to call “Gearing up, and gearing down Calories - especially those fancy new self lacing walking boots” — indistinguishable from kitchen prep calories :) I feel for your heart… You’re doing the right thing… cherish those peaceful moments. Caring for ourselves is always the most important thing, especially when we making time for everyone and everything else… Be well — big hug… I will think about you and your’s on my next leg today. One mile down, three to go… talk later :)
