Just general workout, on the tmill, while watching T.V, had recorded these hour long programs aired on Discovery channel-You on a diet, You staying young and You - the owners manual. Eye-opening programs- show the insides of the overweight body and the weight increasing dietary patterns, to avoid enriched flour, high fructose corn sugars, unsaturated , or was it saturated , fats.
My head was spinning by the end of it, and I was motivated enough to change my eating patterns to check out the book from the library. Went thru all the foods I ate today for the unwanted ingredients- there is nothing which does not have some of those three.
Cereal has whole grain but then the second ingredient on the list is high fructose corn syrup. The breakfast bars all have HFCS, juices , even gatorade, bread, lunch meats, salad dressing, packaged snacks like cookies have all three. Starting with breakfast and ending with dinner, there is nothing you can put inside your body without a trace of that stuff- unless you turn totally vegan.The only good habit I have is that I dont drink soda- regular or diet and i dont smoke. The rest of my diet needs a major major turnaround.
More on this as I read that book.
Also took the Real age test at www. realage.com. Turns out that even tho am chronologically 40 yo, my real age in terms of health etc is 36 years- so that was the only saving grace in all that info I collected.
Yesterday walked a 2.83 mile trail with GB, lots of elevation and 'deflation'?, ending in a hill but we finished that in 50 min and felt good afterwards instead of sore and tired. I was feeling a bit anxious about the speed , or actually the non-speed and then realised again, the goal is to finish, and finish strong and with a smile, not to make a record, tho we might set a record for the last to finish- do they give a medal to the person who finishes last?- i mean, just because they didnt give up. I can imagine GB and me arguing over who will step over the finish line last.
Rest tomorrow.
