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!

The Night before...

Okay, the night before day one!  I must admit I am kind of nervous.  Usually I am trying to help someone else get fitter and healthier but this time I need to do it for myself.  After years of telling people "you can do it" it is quite scary to try to say "I can do it".  But here I go.  Of course I just had a big plate of fries to celebrate the last night of the "old way".  I have reminded myself of the details of Canada's Food Guide and created my personalized guide (more about that another day) and I am ready to roll.  Healthy food is in the house (unfortunately so are some leftovers from a fairly rowdy weekend but temptation is part of the challenge.  Is that hunger I feel... no I just ate... a lot!  Maybe not knowing full from empty is part of the problem.  This is it... I AM COMMITTED!!
