"Brain Working Again"

I had a much better day today. I ate early and ate often and I feel tons better. It's hard to believe but I still fear gaining weight. Even though it has stayed rock steady at 170 lbs for 6 months now, I still need to condition myself to believe that eating better will allow me to work harder and thereby gain fitness without weight.

I did an easy run around the block in ridiculous winter weather (a lady actually stopped and offered me a ride), but more importantly I also got a decent swim in. For some reason I have developed this reluctance to go to the pool which I never had in my previous life. I just have to battle through it over the next couple of months because come spring time I want the swimming to be good enough that I just need to maintain throughout the summer.

I'm not sure of the plan for tomorrow yet. I would like to do some hills but the people who are supposed to know are saying minus 20 for tomorrow morning. That in itself doesn't make it impossible but the chances are good that there will still not be any decent footing either. If that's the case doing hills is only asking for trouble and so I will wait until the morning to decide.

Today was a special day for me for a couple of reasons. Twenty four years ago today I started working for Magna, but of course that pales in comparison to the fact that 3 years ago today this princess was born!!


HAPPY BIRTHDAY KYLIE!!!

I wish to dedicate day 118 to Mr Frank Stronach, founder and chairman of Magna International, what I still believe is the best company in the world.

so on working for a living...
