Time flies. Before you know it, we’ll all be dead.
Pondering quitting sugar.
Picked up part-time seasonal work at one of the large shipping companies. After more than 5 years tracking exercise on an Apple Watch, I thought *maybe* I could hit 400% of my Move goal with a full day of skating plus 2 dog walks, but 400% seemed a bit out of reach to be honest. Within 1 week of loading trucks, I hit 440% of my move goal.
One week later I hit 530%.
At 52+ years, I wouldn’t have thought I could handle it but one other thing has changed: my diet. My wife and I made a pact a few weeks to eat a bit healthier, so lots of oatmeal, fruit, greens, tofu, etc. After almost 7 hours of non-stop loading trucks last night, I feared this morning would be horrendous. On the contrary, this morning was easy and included a 50 minute dog walk.
My change in diet seems to be a tremendous advantage. Is sugar next? Mentally, It feels like quitting cigarettes and weed and alcohol all at once but then again I know sugar is a problem for me.
Also, I “talk” too much here don’t I?
