Day 25- Running

Today I was exhausted from our trip to Lethbridge. I had a nice 2 1/2 hour nap. It was wonderful. I cooked some Halibut for supper tonight and it was delicious. The run was nice tonight. The weather was cool, but refreshing.

Day #14- Overcoming poor eating habits

"I want to change the way America lives, not only by helping people eat healthfully and lose weight, if necessary, but also by helping them become more fit. We must begin to overcome the poor eating habits and sedentary lifestyle that are making us fatter and sicker with each passing year. "- Aruthur Agatston, MD

Day #13- Choosing nutrient-rich foods

"Choose nutrient-rich, high-fiber carbohydrates found in vegetables, fruites, whole grains; good, unsaturated fats; lean sources of protein; and low-fat dairy."- Arthur Agatston, MD

Day #11- Problems from a toxic lifestyle

"A list of real problems arising from our toxic lifestyle is getting ever longer. A partial list includes- and you may want to sit down for this- heart attack, stroke, prediabetes, diabetes, many types of cancer, Alzheimer's disease, macular degeneration, arthritis, osteoporosis, psoriasis, acne, depression, and attention deficit disorders. And this is just a sampling."- Arthur Agatston, MD

Day #9- Lean Proteins

Lean Proteins- lean cuts of beef, lamb, pork, skinless white meat chicken and turkey, game meats, fish and shellfish, soy products, beans, legumes, eggs and low-fat dairy products.

Day #8- Blood Sugar

Did you know- A piece of white bread will raise your blood sugar faster than a teaspoon of table sugar will. That's why highly processed baked goods and sugary low-fiber cereals are among the worst carbs you can eat.
