Staying on track ...

So far this has been a good week for staying in my calories and exercising (yay!). The weekend away in North Bay was tough .. but I was happy with the results considering all the drinking and lots of food .. I made time to go for a run ...unfortunately I didn't lose this week, but I stayed the same .. with that kinda weekend I was quite happy. I also have a bit of a knee injury that has me sidelined ... but I'm not letting it stop me too much. I have physio tomorrow so we'll see what they say about it in terms of what I can and cannot do.

Said no to a milkshake last night at one of the best burger joints I've ever been too. I had a turkey burger - delicious ... not the most clean option .. but I was proud of the no milkshake. BIG shout out goes to Laura Tripp who definitely motivated me not to order that milk shake. There's no doubt in my mind if Laura had not referenced my past blog post about saying I need to rely on myself (not friends) to ensure healthy eating. So she helped me by referencing it, proving the statement wrong and encouraging me not to get it. Yay Laura!

I did a stress test today - pretty neat stuff ... got quite the work-out 13 minutes of running. All clear in the heart department (just have a higher than normal resting heart rate) which who knows may change as I get even more fit (here's hoping!).

The interesting thing I found out was that the technician told me she gets people in their 80s who are able to run the same length and incline on the treadmill as I did. It was definitely not an EASY last few minutes with the steep incline (heart rate was up to 180 so it was a work out) .. so to hear that she gets people in their 80s there was quite incredible. I hope that can be me one day .. keeping active in the future is going to be so important to me .. just gotta stay on this roll.

In other good news ..Nick has joined the gym with me - proud of him of him for making that big step. :) Now we will have to figure out how we get dinner made and eaten as he typically used to be cooking for me while I was at the gym ... - crock pots meals it is!

In closing I'm leaving you with this image as this is what resonates with me right now ... the idea that everything you do today impacts the body of your future tomorrow ... so start now with eating right and exercising often. Your 2030 body will thank you!
