Today is Day 244 of my Daily Food Diary. We are officially 2/3rds of our way through 2025! 🥳
I know that my Daily Food Diary has been beneficial. It has kept my unhealthy snacking in check. It has helped me to pin down foods that cause me issues. It has helped me to tweak some of my cooking habits. It has encouraged me to add collagen supplements to my daily round of vitamins. And while it is an ongoing battle – it has helped me to eat more fruits and vegetables and to drink more water.
That being said – I am struggling with my health and wellness lately.
As much as I love spring and summer, they have not been kind to me this year. I am almost excited to see September arrive and with it the end of wildfire smoke, a drop in humidity, and hopefully an eradication of all the mould and mildew this year! The last being the worst lately. 🥺
At least for today, I am just avoiding the not so great outdoors.

I think you are doing fabulous with your diet, Anne! Well done! That’s a great photo of Molly, she’s kinda fuzzy, so cute. I see that you changed the header image, the girls have sure changed since that day in the swimming pool! Chicken soup sounds wonderful, yum! 😋❤️

I watched something on CBC News this morning that said forest fire smoke is more toxic the further it is from the actual fire. I sure hope they get the necessary rains to extinguish the fires rather than having to wait for snowfall. Take good care, Anne.

9th grade was Junior High back in those days, today in Michigan and likely everywhere, 9th grade is high school. Why, I have zero idea, it makes no sense. Oh wait, money?
