Monday, Monday

Today has been great. I did an hour and twenty minutes on the treadmill. Did a higher speed and a few jogs in there too.  I would like to work up to more running/jogging.
I watched a couple of different things today, one about diabetes/prediabetes, etc. It was very interesting to learn about. And then I also watched some of another show from Frontline about obesity in America.
I like learning a bit about nutrition while I exercise. I am really happy that I am working out and plan to keep going for the rest of my life. I have made a choice that I just don't want to be overweight and out of breath anymore. I also want to fit into cute clothes and be more active and able to do things with ease.

I want to travel and not feel tired half way through the day. It really limits you and makes life much less fulfilling. I just can't see that there is any downside to losing weight and being healthy. My only regret is not starting sooner. But I can't beat myself up about that. I have to just go from here and improve and become a better person and make the good and right choices for health. I don't want to die at 49 like my mom did from not exercising and being overweight.

I guess you could say that I've made the decision to live and not to die young. I want to live into old age and be a healthy older person. I don't want to have diabetes and have to have limbs removed because I ate whatever I wanted and didn't exercise. 

Today for lunch I had leftovers of a chili I made the other day. I took a photo of it. It was made with turkey that was 99% fat free and pineapple, salsa, tomato sauce, kidney beans.
It's very good. I also had some pop chips and 2% cottage cheese.
