Healthy Living ? Moving to the Groove !

Today I've been working through some medication reviews, particularly looking at patients who are overweight, obese or even criminally obese!! Sorry the latter should read clinically. It amazes me that no matter how much support and encouragement some people get and no matter how critical their health status becomes, they won't take any action.
I know about the difficulties in inducing change and also stabilising those changes - I've had to make a few myself. But it still amazes me how little some people will do for themselves.

Heaven knows I'm one to talk.
I don't do 30 minutes moderate exercise on 5 days a week.
I don't walk 10,000 paces a day.
Both current examples of the minimum exercise requirements to maintain good health.

I am trying to lose 10kg of weight - this will significantly lower ALL my risks of having a serious cardio-vascular event within the next few decades.

What I need to do now is work out how I can work in a 'work out' into my workin' week!

I suppose it's all a question of self motivation... but I'm too happy with the things I'm doing with my time and too busy trying to eat the right things some of the rest of the time. The bits in between seem to be at the wrong time to do the right things with the rest of my time so that all of my time will become the kind of time that glows with health for much of my time remaining....
.... I think that's enough of that.

Anyway - I've had my bowl of muesli for lunch, cut my lunch break down to 15 minutes so that I can blog this in the last part before going back to my daily tasks of looking after OTHER people's health better than I do my own!

Doh!
