Alberta temperatures dipped
to -35, without the wind chill, causing most
people to hibernate. Even some of the school busses didn't run on Wednesday.
Mom says the post-Christmas slump is a result of holiday
bills piling up, (much) colder temperatures, and failing New Year’s
resolutions, that time when eating better and working out is already boring.
Not for me.
I’m happy to say I survived Blue Monday with only one frown
– which happened when I stepped out into the cold and realized I wouldn’t be
running outside this week. Turns out going to the gym was a lot of fun.
This year, I resolved to really commit to my health. Not
just to be a better track and field athlete, but to be concerned about my
overall health. After learning about my grandfather’s diabetes, I’ve really been
watching what I eat.
Don’t worry. I haven’t cut out everything. I’m working on moderation, and choosing healthier
options most of the time.
Like on Wednesday, when Dad told me it was National Popcorn
Day. To celebrate, Mom made a healthy popcorn recipe using canola oil from this
website: http://simplyrecipes.com/recipes/perfect_popcorn/
It was delish!
Mom made a basic recipe, but if you want variety, you can email
learncanola@canola.ab.ca and they’ll
send you an entire pamphlet on popcorn types, flavourings, and more!
Gotta jet. Sophie is meeting me at the gym!
