It is 130 Days since I started my Daily Food Diary! π
It is also Mother’s Day 2025. This is me, ready for a beautiful relaxing day. I just bought myself a new summer dress to lounge around in on days like this – and you will note that I do own a real pair of shoes!


My favourite thing always is my family. My favourite thing lately is seeing my family putting more focus on their health and fitness. (I like to think that my own efforts over the past three years have helped steer them in that direction.) π€

My saturated fats were a big miss yesterday. To be honest, it would have been worse if I wasn’t on the meds for my bronchitis. I was in a mood for ice cream after supper last night but I can’t eat for two hours before taking my antibiotics AND I cannot go to bed for at least an hour after I take them. So… Ice cream at 8 pm just wasn’t doable. ππ§

Happy Mother’s Day, Anne!! π

You were probably glad you didn’t eat ice cream otherwise you’d have been way over your allowed calories for the day! Happy mother’s day to you and I hope you have a fun day!

Thank you, Anne! I wore heels for decades and they never bothered me. One of the benefits of having a collagen disorder. Loose joints. π Have a beautiful rest of your day! π

Thank you, Terry! I hadn’t thought about it when I started out on this adventure, but I know they can see the results. Especially, from cutting out the yeast and avoiding most sugar. I hope you are having a great day. It must feel like you are back in Texas! π

You are definitely a positive role model whether your kids admit it or not!

The main difference is that our heat doesnβt come with the humidity we get in South Texas. Thatβs both a blessing and a curse. Iβve enjoyed a very nice day.

Happy Mother’s Day πΉπ©·and I love your dress!! So pretty and looks comfy too. That is such a great saying, and I think so true about parenting. I’m glad you didn’t have the ice cream, I’ve indulged when I shouldn’t and pay for it with a stomach ache sometimes. I’m thankful I don’t do this often! Love following your journey!! ππ€πΉ
