Daily Food Diary – Day and 223 of 365

by annemariedemyen, posted in 2025, Health and Fitness

Today is Day 223 of my Daily Food Diary. 😁

Yesterday was one of those days when I realized how far I have come in the past three and a half years – since I first set out on my health and wellness journey to build up my strength and stamina.

Yesterday, I walked Molly first thing in the morning.  I came home to do half an hour of yard work, clear my lungs and then do my Daily Food Diary blog.  I was just about to post it, when my daughter arrived with her dog Sasha.

We had previously arranged to take Sasha for a bath at Pet Value.  But first,   we tag teamed a serious brushing session.    Once done, we headed off to bathe her.  An hour later, Sasha was fully groomed.   Jen and I should have both been exhausted.

Sasha, in the zone – enjoying her first Pet Value bath.

However, once I got home, I changed and  did my morning aerobics followed by my Monday weights and cardio. 

Following that, I made a batch of caramel corn and tidied up the house.  I made homemade macaroni and cheese and fixed vegetables while Dan barbecued the chicken for our supper.  After, supper I set up the coffee pot for this morning, straightened  up the kitchen and Dan came in to help with dishes.

This may not seem like that much,  but three and a half years ago, I would never have been able to take Molly for a walk…  much less everything, or anything else.

I honestly don’t know what most people expect life at seventy should look like.  To me these days, mine looks like a miracle. 🌹
