Today is Day 264 of my Daily Food Diary! 😊
Today is also son Mark’s birthday. He lives across the city from us with his fiance and two young sons. I have not seen him in almost four years, but he is still and always will be my son – and of course I wish him well on his birthday (as well as every other day of the year 🎂💝).
This morning, I took Molly for a walk by myself, as Dan is taking advantage of our gorgeous weather to go golfing.
I came home to have a bowl of cereal and found that the only container of milk in our fridge had not been wrestled open. 🤬
On my first try, with my bare hands, I got that sucker open!
Every day since I started taking collagen, my strength is increasing, and I find myself easily doing things that I have not been able to do for decades (or ever). It is incredible!
Of course the most incredible thing is how much better my respiratory system is doing. I will always have asthma and multiple environmental allergies. But in general, my sinuses, throat, and lungs are feeling strong and clear. Much better than they have been for five years. 🤗

Oh my gosh, all of the food looks so delicious, Anne! I love that cereal but I buy the type with zero sugar and use a sugar substitute. Yay for collagen! I’m happy that you are doing so much better, Muscles! 💪🏻😊

It was. Supper was a joint effort but after I peeled the shrimp, Dan did the cooking. I sliced the tomato and cucumber. 😊💖Have a great rest of your day, Martha! 💞

Thank you, John. The collagen has done so much in three months, I can’t imagine what I will be capable of in another two months when it is supposed to be noticeable. 😊💪

Thank you, Jackie – Butter, fresh garlic, and Dan put some spices on the shrimp when he cooked them. I know onion powder and Cajun for sure. 💞
