Daily Food Diary – Day 338 of 365

by annemariedemyen, posted in 2025, Health and Fitness

Today is Day 338 of my Daily Food Diary. 👍

Recently, I have been trying to recognize and appreciate the wins in my daily life.  I was anticipating my annual December funk and thought this would help me to keep my emotions and stress in check.  It was going fairly well, too.

And now..it isn’t. 

For ten months I have been waiting for a hernia repair.  This morning surgical booking called with a date.

December 17th .... not a good date for me historically and four years to the day since my last hernia surgery (which failed).

I am going to have to ramp up the wins if I am going to get through this without having a massive asthma attack heading into the operating room.

Anyway,  back to the wins… this morning I did an aerobics workout that I had never done before.

Apparently the one and only video on YouTube Tube that cannot be shared but worth looking for if you need a good workout! 😊

My December Daily Food Diary roundup win for today is a timely one…

While I started this Food Diary to improve my physical wellness, I learned how much my diet could improve (or destroy) my mental and emotional wellbeing.   That being said,  I am looking forward to a heaping helping of comfort food for supper.

  1. I like Mr. and Mrs. Clause! Ten months is way too long to deal with a hernia, Anne, I hope that the doctors get this done correctly for you. 🙏🏻 Did you change the BG color of your site?

  5. I’m glad that is stable, Anne, i have a plastic mesh inside me from a hernia repair many years ago… I am color blind so apparently my eyes are tricking me.

  8. Sending best wishes for a successful op and a speedy and uneventful recovery, Anne. There’s a big difference between now and when you had the first hernia op – that difference is you and your overall improved health. This will pay you back in spades!

  13. It makes total sense to feel worried after your last experience. But you’ve been taking such good care of your wellness – mind, body, and soul. Your nutrition, exercise, and strength work have given you a completely different foundation this time. Your body is in a much better place to heal, and your mindset is, too. Jackie and I are rooting for you and walking right beside you through all of this. Morning-focused healing meditations — YES. You’ve got this. ANNE POWER ACTIVATED❤️💪

  15. Hoping and praying that the surgery turns out well this time Anne. You are much healthier now so that should help big time with you having surgery. Just keep thinking on all the great wins you have had and are still having. You are doing great. Hugs
