DAY 41

• Walked the dog for 35 min this morning
• 4.23 mile run after work burned 465 calories per map my run

Man it's hot. The run after work kicked my butt. I was cooped up all day working hard and desperately needed to get into the sunshine. Good run though and I also needed to burn off the birthday dinner I had last night (crab, lobster and some wine). I definitely went off the grid over the weekend with my trip to Blue Mtn. Brewery and then my dinner last night. I also enjoyed my favorite beers and wine as well. So, now I'm back to a heart-healthy diet. I read an article on the Mayo Clinic website recently about this. Pretty basic stuff good to remember and it's from a reputable source.

Mayo Clinic - Heart Healthy Diet

 

1. Control your portion sizes
2. Eat more vegetables and fruits
3. Select whole grains
4. Limit unhealthy fats and cholesterol
5. Choose low-fat protein sources
6. Reduce the sodium in your food
7. Plan ahead: Create daily menus
8. Allow yourself an occasional treat (for example, on your birthday)

 

 

Thought for the Day: "If overindulgence is the exception, rather than the rule, you'll balance things out over the long term. What's important is that you eat healthy foods most of the time." Mayo Clinic
