This is my 98th day of posting my Daily Food Diary. That is a full 14 weeks. 🙌 It is a pretty solid habit by now. One that I should be able to easily maintain, moving forward. 😃
Staying committed to living a healthy active lifestyle can be reasonably easy, if we build solid habits along the way.
Building good habits has been relatively easy when it comes to diet, activity, and developing healthy sleep conditions.
Building good habits to develop stress management has been more difficult for me. Chronic lung issues cause stress and stress exasperates lung issues. (I think that is true of any chronic health issues, whether the issues are breathing difficulties, pain, heart palpitations…)
Fortunately, I have developed one habit that has helped me with healthy stress management.
Over a year ago, I started listening to You Tube meditations when I go to bed. I have found countless guided meditations, nature meditations, musical meditations, etc. The biggest issue I had was falling asleep wearing ear buds – never ended well!
Fortunately my daughter, suggested trying a soft sleep headphones product. That was a gamechanger for me!

I’ve got to say this – you’re writing everyday about what you eat with a blurb at the top. I really don’t know how people like you do that. By now I would have wandered off into why I wore my blue shirt today instead of my red one just for lack of saying anything of substance. Looking forward to pics of your flowers this spring. Keep on doing what you’re doing. I never miss it.

Thank you! (BTW I am wearing my blue shirt today…). 😂. I don’t know how people keep reading it. TBH that is how my health and fitness journey plays out in real life. Consistent insignificant efforts every day and three years later I am happier, healthier, stronger, and fitter than I have ever been. I’m turning 70 in July and planning to keep doing what I am doing as long as I can do it. As long as it keeps me off of oxygen tanks and out of the ‘home’, it is a small price to pay. 🤗
