Yesterday I got up to 9,531 steps...and I just couldn't get that extra 500!
Today is going to be a 10,000 step day and tomorrow and Sunday are going to be over 10,000 steps. How can I not get those steps in when we are having an early, early spring? Yahoo!
So last time I wrote I left everyone hanging about some exciting news that I had. Today I will reveal the news.
I am Winnipeg bound on May 2 to take part in the Annual Nutrition Forum put on by the Manitoba Milk Board. One of my favourite researchers from McMaster is the keynote speaker and there are other speakers and the topic is:
Losing the “weight”:Is our obsession with weight healthy?
Conventional wisdom says that weight is a good indicator of health and that if someone is overweight they are unhealthy. Furthermore the idea that people who are overweight should strive to achieve an ideal body weight is juxtaposed with the fact that diets don’t work.
Join Dr. Stuart Philips, Christal Levy, Dayle Hayes and Arlene Cristall for a provocative look at weight management and to explore alternative approaches to achieve and encourage healthier lifestyles at every age and stage.
Very exciting for me to be asked to speak at this conference about my journey! Research is important and it makes a difference in the life of Canadaians! I am very honoured to be living proof how a small change can make a HUGE difference! And I am so honoured to have been featured on the CBC! My joy has to be shared for those who have cheered me on, those I have met, those I haven't met, and those who have been inspired or touched by my story.
What's my message? Get a pedometer or ask me for one and I will send it to you. Take steps that count and in just 6 weeks you can improve your health just by walking!
