I don't have any nutritional training. My undergraduate degree was in math and my Master's degree was in community health and epidemiology. Nor do I have any sports medicine training or any personal training skills. But I've put my time in at the track and on the road. In May 2002 I was the first female finisher of the Burlington Marathon. In August 2005 I did Ironman Canada and in September 2007 I did Ironman Wisconsin. Attending and racing these events is your reward after months and months and months of extremely hard, boring, painful, time-consuming, exhausting training, primarily alone. I'm glad I did it and I'm proud of myself but those days are over and now my exercise regime is no more than a run around the block a few times a week.
People who don't see me for years at a time always say 'I see you haven't gained any weight'. Of course not, why would I? But then it occurred to me that maybe what I do to take care of myself, how I eat, how I stay healthy year after year after year might be of interest to others. That's why I started this blog. It is my sincere hope that some of the things I do may turn into habits for yourself that help you along your journey to healthy living and a healthy weight.
