Daily Food Diary – Day 155 of 365

It is Day 155 of my Daily Food Diary! 🌞

The sun is shining and we are looking forward to having a good day – much of it spent outdoors in our yard and garden and of course taking Molly for a walk  around the neighborhood.

Yesterday, I spent a couple of hours in the garden, working up one planter,  planting more tomatoes, and watering my thriving little plants.  I can’t believe how quickly these plants are getting established and  growing to fit their environment.

I also can’t believe how much stronger I am than I was three years ago.  Before I started  living my ‘healthier and fitter lifestyle’,  everything was such a struggle.  Yesterday, I was lifting five gallon pails of dirt, full (full size) watering cans, and using a garden fork to dig deep into packed  earth.  I was amazed at what I could do – and how easily it could be done!

I will always have compromised lungs.  The damage from asthma, bronchiectasis, and COPD doesn’t go away.  But,  with being active, eating well, stress management, adequate rest, fresh air, and proper healthcare, I can have a quality of life I couldn’t imagine possible three years ago.
