I wrote last week (here) about how tired I was of feeling sick and in pain all the time, and that it was finally time I got serious and I started to do something about it if I wanted to still be around by the time my kids got married...
I will be honest with you. I didn't believe in what I was writing that day, at least not 100%. I am too used to failure and self sabotage to be hopeful. I knew that the next time I had to travel I would convince myself of buying 'one final burger' or having 'the last Diet Coke for now'. It was just a matter of time...
But it didn't happen. To my surprise, I have been making better choices and also eating less (and better). It's been only a week and I already see a big difference in how I feel, my mood, my aches, my blood sugars...
Will this time be the one?

La semana pasada escribí (aquí) sobre lo cansado que estaba de sentirme siempre cansado y con dolores, y que era hora de que por una vez me pusiera serio con el tema de mi salud e hiciera algo si quería estar por aquí todavía el día que mis hijos se casaran...
Voy a ser honesto. No creí en lo qie escribía, al menos no en un 100%. Ya estoy demasiado acostumbrado al fracas y al auto sabotaje como para tener esperanzas. Sabía que la próxima vez que viajara me convencería de comprar 'una última hamburguesa' o de tomarme 'la ùltima Diet Coke por ahora'. Era sólo cuestión de tiempo...
Pero no ocurrió. Para mi sorpresa, he estado eligiendo mejor a la hora de comer y también he comido menos (y mejor). Ha pasado sólo una semana y ya veo una gran diferencia en cómo me siento, mi humor, mis dolores, los niveles de azúcar en mi sangre...
Será nomás esta vez la que cuente?
Ánimo, señor.
