I wish I could say that my food habits have changed overnight, but I ate a lot of rich food this past weekend during the holiday festivities. Thankfully I can be happy that I kept the calories a little lower than they could have been. Taking lots of veggies and satsumas with me, gave me the ability to munch to my heart's content without going overboard with calories. I am eager to get together with Maxine at Gold's Gym so we can plan my nutritional strategy. As soon as that happens, I'll start tracking my food on this blog also.
Exercise: 3 miles of jogging/walking this morning. I alternated between the two. Discovered that I like the treadmill much better than jogging in the cold on the hard pavement. My knees and shins are definitely grumpy but I'm happy to be sticking to my schedule.
Step two accomplished - new running shoes. Another Gold's Gym member had suggested that I get fitted for a good pair of running shoes at Super Jock & Jill. I have many minor health issues (back, neck, knees, and hip) and good shoes should make this challenge easier on my body. I am looking forward to seeing these issues improve as my overall health improves through this process.
