Today was wonderful because it was non-eventful. You need non-eventful days once in a while. Today I was able to eat three sensible meals. I had five servings of fruits and vegetables and kept my total calorie count under 2,000. There are many websites that can tell you how many calories you need to maintain your weight and to lose weight; www.calorieking.com is one of my favorites. Sure, I'd like to have logged in at 1,500 calories but I didn't but I didn't stray either. Talking (or blogging) about calories is so boring. Who wants to know what I ate today? Nothing special, I assure you. Last week, I was in Chicago. Now, what I ate there was much more interesting....and responsible for about 2 extra pounds. I'm happy to sacrafice two weeks of austerity for just a few really, really good meals. Email me if you want the details.
Here's the thing. When we talk about healthy aging it seems like we are talking about a destination. Some place we arrive at some point in time. But aging is truly a journey. Just like today most of the journey is pretty uneventful. We can exercise good judgement and make healthy choices without many problems and in the end those occassional sidetrips are just that. They've made the trip more interesting but did not lead us off our path.
