For the past few months, I have not been exercising, and not eating all that well.
For the past few weeks, I have made an effort to correct this. A few weeks ago, my wife threatened to cancel my gym membership if I didn’t use it. Now I go at least once a week to lift weights and swim, and I started a weekly fitness yoga class (which was really hard the first time!).
In addition to this, I’ve also started running. I’m using the Couch to 5K running plan from www.coolrunning.com that was set to music in a pod-cast I downloaded several years ago. I’m on week 2 of 9 with this.
As far as my diet goes, I am trying to break some bad habits. My routine for a while has been to run through the Tim Horton’s drive-thru on the way to work and pick up coffee and donuts. My Mom never spoke truer words to me than she did when I was a teenager “if you eat donuts for breakfast every day, you are going to get fat.” So now I am bringing some food from home to eat in the car. I am also packing a lunch instead of eating out. This is way cheaper and way healthier.
So far so good with all of this. My wife accuses me at times as doing things in a non-sustainable, all or nothing way. We’ll see…
