Day 4

Day 4 : The Little Steps

Late post (sorry sorry), but better late than never!

I was out all day, with some of my sorority sisters visiting Montreal! The day started quite early! After meeting up with my dear sister Amy, we went to Eggspectation. I ordered the Eggsuberant (2 eggs, 2 pancakes, bacon, fruits, maple syrup & lyonnaise potatoes, whoa)! That big breakfast was more than needed since we were going to walk all day long!

We then walked around Old Montreal, went shopping on St-Laurent and catch a nap on the McGill University campus :)

Throughout the rest of the day, we met up with other sisters (Julie, Sonia and Alyssa) and a friend and went to Cinko, a new restaurant that offers a fresh menu in which every item is $5! I chose the Portuguese chicken, served with grilled zucchinis and tomatoes and upgraded the side of fries for a poutine for an extra $2.50! What can I say, all that walking made me hungry!

Day 4 helped me realise that every little step counts. All thoses steps, no matter how big or small, count. I walked for a total of 16.54 km all day which is the equivalent of a bit over 1500 calories. This is pretty close to my daily food intake burned off. Did I let myself enjoy food yesterday? Yes! But I also managed to balance it out with walking it off instead of bussing, hopping on the subway or a cab.

Ain't no half stepping 

This lesson is also applicable to other things than burning calories. Every step counts when it comes to achieving a healthy lifestyle. Choosing the stairs instead of the elevetors. Walking outside during lunch instead of chatting while sitting down. 10 minutes of meditation to help relieve stress instead of smoking! Whatever the little step is, take it and see where it brings you!

Have a good Friday y'all!
