30 days: Day 23 – My wife was in my head

If you know me, you know I love to eat. Yes, I’ll admit that I have a sweet tooth! Donuts, candies cakes, and pies, I love them all! My favorite snack is to have an afternoon cup of Coffee (Starbucks) and a donut!  The truth of the matter is, as I tell people, eating those items is the reason that I have a focus on staying active. And I really enjoy it!  On the occasions that I have to cut back on my workouts, such as a leg injury,  it is really a struggle to remember to also cut back on the sweets.
Recently, I’ve made an attempt to modify the foods that I grab when I go for a snack. For the longest time, my wife kept telling me to grab a bag of peanuts and raisins to keep at my desk for a snack. I don’t know what took me so long to listen to her but, I finally did it.  I purchased a bag of raisin, peanuts, and some M&M (for my sweet tooth). I even complained to the cashier that my wife was making me eat healthier. This homemade trail mix is rapidly becoming my favorite snack to munch on. Of Course, I must remember that moderation is key. Wish me luck!

MODERATION IS KEY

I’ve kept a food journal off and on for a number of years, but I have not done it consistently. The idea, as I understand it, is if you keep tabs of what you are eating, you’ll actually eat less, or make healthier eating choices.  So I’ve decided to try it on a more consistent basis.  Check me out on MyFitnessPal.  I could use all the support I can get!

Today’s run was a nice and easy 1.5 miles, preceded by 45 minutes of an upper body workout with Fitness Blender, followed by abs.  I used my Fitbit Blaze to track the distance. I couldn’t figure out how to set it for a 1.5-mile run. And once again, the auto track feature on the Fitbit  combined with #NRC seems like a better bet for me.  Man, I miss my TomTom!
