My Journey

When I began ww one of the things that was most strongly taught was that it is all about balance. Balance food wants with food needs. Balance day to day. Balance food types, tastes, textures. But the things about balance can so easily be translated into other things in life. Balance work with play. Balance 'them' time with 'me' time. Balance material self with spiritual self. Last night when I went to dinner, we arrived a little early so went for a walk down some rustic stone steps and found a little park set in a niche along the pathway. We sat on the bench and looked out over the lights of the Harbour Bridge and Sydney whilst listening to the screams of joy coming from the rides in Luna Park. The boats were all twinkling lights and muted music as they moved across the water. It was absolutely beautiful. I sat there holding hands with DH, saying nothing, and thinking, "this is what it is all about". This is why I want to be alive. This is why I want to be fit and healthy so that I can come back here with my children, with their children, and just sit in wonder of something so simple, and so beautiful. I know that I can't foresee that I will be here for my grandchildren but I am going to give it the best shot that I can, and send the message out to the universe that I want to be around. So I am more than motivated to continue down the path I have started to good habits and good health and I will just have to remember that from time to time I have to step off the path and just enjoy the view...
