Week 30. Holy moly. I'm out here walking along a road in my favourite place in the entire world, Wainfleet, getting my steps in and giving you this week's update.

Exercise this week

Last week I went for four yogs and still had an up week. This week I only managed one: a 5K from Alright Robyn's house and back. Lots of evening walks, and I played tennis a couple of times with Kevin.

The food

We went back to Oddbird, which grows some of its own ingredients. I had a garden tomato and cheese salad with garlic, a vegan beet tartare with crostini, and a fish taco my friend shared with me. Unreal.

We also did food reviews at Silversmith, which the Oddbird team manages. The food was awesome, and after the reviews I didn't take one more bite. That took a lot of willpower.

At home, Alright Robyn made eggplant lasagna, not once but twice. It's one of my favourites. One night in a rush I just cooked up some beef and lentils in the rice cooker. Healthy, quick, done.

What's the secret?

A common question I get is, "What are you doing to make this happen?" The answer is simple: eating well and exercising. I've heard of people having success with keto, intermittent fasting and other diets. I'm not following any special diet. I'm eating mostly whole foods and moving every day. It works.
