I love trees!

I love trees!

Perhaps it has something to do with growing up with the address Oakfield; where I could open my front door and be greeted with a collection of mighty oak trees,none of which were lost in the Great Storm of 1987!

I love their shape, size, variety of colours but most of all the strength that they represent.

So today I have made a decision, I want to be more like a tree!

I want to be strong – physically, mentally and emotionally.

I want to stand tall  – physically and metaphorically.

In a bid to keep control my weight, I have previously tracked my food consumption, but now I am going to trust my instincts and believe the fact that my body will tell me what I need and when I need it. I will continue to drink plenty of water, eat healthily with good nutrition at the heart of this and get out in the fresh air regularly for a dose of Vitamin D.

There will be deviations from this because I am human, but I will not beat myself up and feel guilty. I will enjoy that moment and then move on.

I don’t need a number on a set of scales to measure my vitality, I know by my health and by looking in the mirror .

Thankfully trees are everywhere so I will be constantly reminded of my goal.

Have a great week.
