It is 201 Days since I began posting my Daily Food Diary. It is two years since I eliminated yeast from diet and started taking a serious look at improving my diet in general. And, it is three and a half years since I started living a healthier and more active lifestyle.
One would think, I would have it all down to a science by now, but looking at my Food Diary entry from yesterday – obviously NOT.
What is truly ironic, is that yesterday I was messaging back and forth with my sister Lorraine and we were discussing our health issues, our eating habits, and our frustration with North American attitudes towards diet in general. Every day is a celebration – and every celebration needs an overindulgence of poor food choices and alcohol fueled fun. (At least I dodged the alcohol fueled fun. 🙂)
Fortunately, another Monday has come around and it is a new opportunity to dial back on the calories and amp up on the exercise. I’ve been one of the 35% of Canadians living with obesity, and I am not going back there!
We started our Monday with a walk with Molly. Dan and I both struggled with the 100% humidity – as well as with trying to keep Molly out of the burr laden weeds along one stretch of roadway.
We managed to walk a respectable distance – and brought Molly home ready for a nice quiet nap. 👍
Being Monday, I still have my aerobics to do this morning, weights this afternoon, and chicken salad is on the menu for supper. 😊
