Day 55 and 56...

Gradually rebuilding things.  Still not totally on track but getting regular activity and eating from each of the food groups.  Hanging in there but still looking for the big break through where the food guide becomes automatic!!

Day 54...

Back on track!  Not perfect but I pretty much followed the Food Guide (a few too many extras) and had a great walk this evening.  Still a long way to go but feeling good about being back on track.  Eating 5/10 Exercise 6/10 R&R 4/10 and Work and learning 6/10!!!

Day 49 to 53...

I started to doubt if I can really do this, I have totally abandoned the food guide and have been eating at random again.  But I am determined to do this!!  So I am extending the goal until July 20 and will start in the morning with redoubled efforts to make this happen.

June 25-July 20  Canada's Food Guide and the Canadian Guide to Physical Activity will be my bibles!!

Day 46... 47....48

Okay, apparently things had to get worse to get better, and they have.  It was a total wash on the weekend and Monday wasn't much better.  However, today I started to crawl back out of the abyss.  No, not a fantastic day but much improved.  I am going to redouble my efforts to bring this ship into port on July 2 as planned with some much improved results... stay tuned!

Day 43... 44... 45

Man, the wheels have come off this train altogether!  Lost all semblance of the food guide, feeble efforts at exercise and life is in general disarray.  I'm going to go with it for the weekend because everything will be crazy with the Ultra on Sunday but Monday marks a renewed effort!  

Day 42...

As they would say in Newfoundland, the arse end's come right out of 'er.  Nothing good to say about today, awful eating, no exercise... a really bad day.  Eating 2/10 Exercise 2/10 R&R 2/10 Work and Learning 4/10
 Kind of depressing.....

Day 41...

Struggling today, eating has gotten worse, but I did exercise.  Don't a good day at all Eating 4/10 Exercise 5/10 R&R 4/10 Work and Learning 5/10

Day 40...

The weekends still seem to be the bane of my eating existence.  I just can't seem to get them under control.  The worst part is that it then makes Monday tougher.  I am determined to get back on track tomorrow!  I have a lot of travelling this week so will need to plan for that, that is the other time I run into problems... there are a lot of things to trip on doing this.  It does make me realize how often I was tripping on them without even knowing.  Exercise wasn't too bad, did the 5 km Ultra Marathon course this afternoon.  So Eating 4/10, Exercise 5/10 R&R 4/10 and work and learning 4/10.

Day 39...

This was an interesting day, haven't had one quite like it.  Eating was not good but everything else was great.  Started the day with a nice hike then did a few errands.  It was a wet day so I took some reading and sat in the car down by the river. Had a nap :-) So Eating 4/10 Exercise 6/10 R and R 7/10 Work and Learning 6/10

Day 38...

Free Fridays are the best time of the week ;-). The truth is that although I do enjoy it,  Free Friday is less important each week,  I think that is a good sign.

Day 37...

A good day.  Ran some hills this evening and ate pretty well.  Nothing special but a good day.   Overall Eating 6 / 10 Exercise 6 / 10 R & R 5 / 10 Work and learning 5 / 10.

Day 36...

Pretty good day today.  Eating went reasonably well and I took time at lunch to get out on a trail for a few minutes at least.  Great workout this evening run/walk almost 10k.  Took some training on LEAN/Six Sigma that was very good.  Overall Eating 6/10 Exercise 7/10 R&R 6/10 Work & Learning 7/10

Day 35...

Eating went well today but still not getting the whole food guide in.  No exercise today at all, wet and cold and after coaching at track didn't feel like going out.  Overall not a great day Eating 5/10 Exercise 3/10 R&R 5/10 Work and Learning 5/10

Day 34...

Much better eating today.  Exercise was a little light but at least I got out for a few kilometers.  A busy evening reading and writing.  Eating 6/10 Exercise 5/10 R&R 4/10 Work and Learning 6/10

Day 33...

Not too bad again for exercise and overall a very productive day baking.  However, I did eat a lot today.  Overall eating was a 5/10 exercise 6/10 R&R 6/10 and Work and learning 5/10

Day 32...

Got some great exercise today with a run through the trails in Rothesay.  The eating on the other hand was still that weekend problem.  It almost seems insurmountable but I'm not giving up get.  Eating 5/10 Exercise 6/10 R&R 5/10 Work and Learning 5/10

Day 31...

Another. Free Friday!  I find it interesting that I don't have as much drive for junk food as I did the first few Free Fridays.   That has to be a good thing!  Had a nice stroll this evening so it wasn't a total wash out!
