Spring is gradually making its presence known and I, like
many others, find myself longing for something different, something new and exciting.
I want fresh air, sunshine and rainbows! I want white wine instead of red and
(dare I say it) salad. –For those of you that don’t know salad is the one thing
you will almost never see me order. So what if I’m a vegetarian? I still
appreciate hearty meals. Give me melted butter, creamy potatoes and thick,
cream sauces every day and I will die happy… in a hospital… with high blood
pressure, diabetes, and a smile.
But spring is here and it is time to put away my gluttony
and shed some of my winter weight. I must wean myself off oversized sweatshirts
and perhaps even say goodbye to the thick, creamy soups that are responsible
for a good chunk of my winter love handles.
Someday I might be persuaded to join a gym… maybe. I do
occasionally walk around the block and opt for green tea instead of coffee.
That counts, right?
The real motivation for change has more to do with aesthetics
than health: I miss showing my legs! I want to shave and buff and polish until
my stems are once again capable of stopping traffic. Superficial? Absolutely,
but I’ll work with what I got. Does it matter why I put on my workout clothes
as long as I get out there?
