Going to try and walk today.
I wish I was as dedicated as my friend and brother-in-Christ, Kyle. While consistently walking 4-6 miles a day, through rain, sleet and snow,has not improved his looks or singing; it has helped him control Type 2 diabetes for more than a year now. That is without any medication and as far as I tell no self-discipline in his eating habits. He is an inspiration in more ways than one.
Breakfast: Bowl of oatmeal, slice of whole wheat toast, 4 oz. skim milk. Cup of coffee with creamer, sweetener, and cocoa.
Lunch: No Lunch today. Didn't have time. Not a good idea to skip a meal.
Snack: Medium apple
Dinner: Taco Bueno burrito and taco, diet coke.
Exercise: Walked 2.22 miles in 35 min 52 sec., Avg Speed 3.7 mph, Max spd 4.9 mph, Avg Heart Rate 115, Max HR 143. Measurements by Garmin Forerunner 405.
Good to get in a walk.
Heard a lady on radio talking about chocolate. Milk chocolate doses not have the flavonoids that dark chocolate contains. I use Hershey's cocoa everyday in coffee for the health benefit not for the taste. I try to keep a stock of 70% cocoa bars around also. While I love Dove milk chocolate, it has very small amount of antioxidant benefits compared to dark chocolate. Remember as good as chocolate may be for you, it has calories, that you need to account for- "all things in moderation".
Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity is a measure of antioxidant power.
