What's It All About?

Follow me, or better yet join me as I journey into my sixties... enjoying my grandchildren... trying to stay healthy and fit... maybe some traveling and whatever else tickles my fancy.

You Are What You Eat!!

Even though I relaxed my usually strict lifestyle this week, I'm still eating pretty healthy. I had my Oatmeal for breakfast, Turkey on Whole Wheat for lunch, my usual apples, bananas and almonds for snacks and desserts... and now I'm going to have my turkey chili w/beans for dinner. So my diet is basically the same, I'm just not weighing everything or keeping track of the micro-nutrients.

After awhile I won't even need to keep a close eye on everything I eat... I can pretty much tell how many calories I've taken in for the day. I can even get a pretty close estimate of how much Protein, Carbs & Fats I've had. But I'm a statistic nut... I like to go over stats, examine them, compare them and tweak them. I like to be able to see what I ate and compare it to how I felt that day. Or if I wasn't feeling so hot or sluggish one day I can see if it had anything to do with what I ate... there's usually a correlation.

What you put into your body has a big effect on what you get out of your body, on a whole lot of different levels... healthwise, attitudes and moods, energy, appearance, just about everything. You are what you eat!!
Anyway, that's my strange world... I hope everyone has a great day.
