Daily Food Diary – Day 66 of 365

I am  66 Days into tracking and reporting everything that I eat and drink in a day.   Generally, this is getting easier as I go.

Using the Lose It! app has made tracking calories and nutrients easier so that has helped.  Being retired has made it easier to take the time to do a blog every morning.  Using habit building skills that I have been utilizing for years, definitely helps me to be consistent without a lot of effort.

On another note… Today is International Women’s Day.    Of course,  I am celebrating the women in our family.

All of the women in our family – young and not so much,  are strong, independent, intelligent, capable, caring, adventurous, ambitious and so much more. It is easy to celebrate them. 

However, I have to admit that I am disappointed that we are still at a point where we need a special day to celebrate women,  a special day to fight for women whose lives are made harder simply because they are women, a special day to show respect and appreciation for women who deserve respect and  appreciation every day of the year.  

In my mind men and women are different in many ways, but as humans they are equal – and  they should just be treated as equals, in the workplace, in the home, in the news, at the ballot box – everywhere and every day.   😏
