Welcome to my adventure



Thanks for checking out my blog. I have worked in the health and wellness business for over 30 years but as they say in the movie trailers "this time it's personal". I need a wellness makeover. I am 56 years old and have several chronic health problems including psoriatic arthritis, diabetes, heart disease and Barrett's esophagus, all of which have been well managed. Lately though I have realized my eating is awful, my body composition is deteriorating my physical activity is sporadic and mostly aerobic and my relaxation and sleep are terrible. I don't feel as well as I want to! So between now and July 2nd I will follow Canada's Food Guide and Canadian Physical Activity Guidelines (as I have advocated to hundreds, maybe thousands of clients over the years), and will document the adventure here. Not because I think there is a burning desire on anyone's behalf to read it... I just need a way to "seal the deal". Here's to Feeling Good!

Day 8...

Last day on the road for a while and I definitely cleaned up my act.  I took a sandwich and an apple to have for lunch, a bag of mixed nuts on the car seat (I felt right at home with mixed nuts) and a big breakfast before heading out.  It worked like a charm.  Thanks to those who recommended the idea of healthy snacks packed in advance!  Exercise was a casualty of the day but Wednesday is an optional day for me so not a big deal.  If I can get to bed in the next 10 mins it will be early to bed.  So... eating is 7/10 exercise 0/10 R&R 6/10 and work and learning a 6/10.  I now have a nice stretch of days in Saint John to get some routine going.
