It has been
demonstrated that various diets result in limited success. Homo sapiens have difficulty
sticking to these diets. For me, a lifestyle change in eating habits resulted
in reducing sugar intake, red meat, French fries, potato chips and ketchup. However,
at my last Sunday’s dinner prior to attending Jane Austen’s Sense and
Sensibility play at the Shakespearean Festival in Ashland, Oregon, I ordered
the Angus burger with fries and ketchup. This, more than likely, will not be
the last time that I shall stray from going off the wagon.
Further, it’s
been suggested that exercise, 30 to 60 minutes per day attaining 60-90% of
maximum heart rate is recommended. To calculate, subtract 220 BPM minus age to
equal 100% heart rate. I am compulsive about exercise and have my own
plan. For instance, I am reaching 79 years of youth, next month. For the last
five years or so, I hit the trail and run the number of years of my age in a
week, every November. I must confess that Tony reminded me this year. Over the
last few weeks, I have been toying with the idea of running those 79 miles or
little over three marathons in five or six days. My birthday falls during the
week of the University of Michigan and Ohio State football game. Depending upon
game time, if need be, I’ll complete, if necessary, those miles on my
elliptical so I can watch the game. Game time hasn’t been established as of
yet.
Remember,
you are what you eat. Don’t forget to keep moving.
