Distracted Eating

Confession time. I can eat a lot of junk food and not feel full. Thereby I eat a lot of dinner or whatever meal is next, and I might feel full. Part of the reason for this is that I don’t pay much attention to the fact that I am putting things into my mouth, chewing, and swallowing. I am too busy reading, watching videos, or reading, or plotting my next book. Distracted Eating can steal all the goodness from food.

Healthy and Obese

As I approach my 65^th birthday, I am realizing my excess fat is too much at home on my body to be shifted easily. For a writer, I am fairly active. I have set appointments to walk twice a week for a distance of about 1.4 miles. We often dawdle because we have our dogs with us and we are neither as young as we used to be. But we are Nature Bathing with the trees, the mountains, the wildlife, and the lake around which we walk.

Flabby Body, Flabby Brain

The older I get, the more muscle tone I lose. At the same time, my memory is like a steel trap, rusted shut. And I absolutely have a limited amount of time to get my books and stories written. So you would think, wouldn’t you, that I would make healthy living a top priority. Totally the sane way to go during my sunset years.
