Round and round

I don't know why some things are easier at one time and not others.

When I am in a certain frame of mind, eating healthy is not hard for me. In fact, I am drawn to the avocados, onions, feta cheese, bleu cheese and broccoli. Add romaine and it is both filling and good for me.

The only things I miss are breads, bagels, good biscuits and strawberry ice cream.

But for some reason I go through periods where even they are not totally necessary and those are the times I get my blood sugar under control and even lose weight. It has become almost a cycle for me.

Eighteen months eating good. Twelve months binging on bread and sweets. No amount of reasoning seems to break this.

Throw in a half hour of walking every day and my body thanks me.

My brain, on the other hand, rebels, so I need to find different places to take it and distract it if I expect to continue walking.

A healthy mind in a healthy body. I'm more than halfway there right now. This is the start of the good months.

Again.
