Midnight Thursday. Up at this time is pretty standard form me. I pay those bills, I plan our home supplies inventory and our groceries. Groceries are my thing- I have special spots to shop. I make a list... This somewhat new for Sandra. We make a conscience effort in buying produce from local shops or farmers markets-green like that. Our proximity to Plateau, Mont-Royal and Ontario St. makes it easy. My poor wife at first did not understand all the walking but its necessary; It keeps us healthy and every dollar counts, so we hunt for deals at home and then walk to the different spots. When I first met Sandra I weighed 240 pounds on a 6'4 frame it 'looks' alright but it didnt feel alright; I couldn't run as fast and as far as before. So I changed my diet, started working out again and lost 25 just by adding more greens in my life. I never paid for a gym subscription, I never owened more than 4 dumb-bells. Most of my workout is body-weights. I dropped another 15 pounds, bringing my weight to 200lbs. Finally, with some adjustment I got married at a whopping 195. My secret...Dedication to good nutrition. In my quest to find the best information on food and heath out there, I stumbled upon:
- Great blogs like Summer Tomatoes
- Great scientist, Brad Pilon
- Best weight free trainer,Craig Ballantyne
- Books like Fast Food Nation, In Defense of Food
- Movies like Food Inc. which was eye opening for Sandra and I.
Buying REAL foods...that REAL people grow locally as much as possible.
Of course your first post would be about nutrition,ha! I enjoyed it, I specially enjoyed the part where you say "this somewhat new for Sandra" but thanks for the help and patience. Your 'poor wife' may now understand all the walking but still does not love it since she depended on cars way too long. You gave me something to think about with the taste of foods in paradise- cant wait!
