Feeling Good

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 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!
