Eating Well

I am ready to do this, return to a healthier weight. I am just barely tipping the scales of obesity and though am down 10 lbs since moving here (removing stress = less eating), I do have a ways to go. It is funny, but I rarely see myself as heavy, contrary to my husband who has always seen himself as overweight, even when he wasn't. Every dream I have I see myself as slim, flexible, strong and healthy. I have never, ever dreamed of myself overweight and indeed most of my waking days I don't feel overweight at all... unless I am dressing or (shudder) shopping for clothes. Even that has become much easier since I found Cleo (www.cleo.ca) which carries great fitting clothes for my body type (big hips and a small, short waist).

But I digress. Ann Douglas blogged about EATracker, a free nutrition and activity tracker from the Dietitians of Canada. I have had fun playing with it today apparently I eat properly (for the most part) but don't exercise enough. Welcome to being a Canadian in winter. In the same breath, I love exercise. Especially free weights and circuit training (keeps things from being boring). However, I have not been disciplined enough since spring to keep a regular exercise routine together. Given that, being a mom/wife/volunteer/business owner keep me off my laurels enough that I was active enough to get a "green star" today. We shall see what the future holds! Check it out for yourself.
