Today is the 339th day of my Daily Food Diary! 😁
Recently, I have been noting my daily WINS. With the full moon finally behind us, it would appear that things are finally starting to line up for me again.
Yes, I am still booked for surgery on the 17th and NO I am not happy about that, however..
1) Yesterday, I stayed under my daily calorie goal and I did my walk with Dan and Molly, plus my aerobics, plus 30 minutes on the treadmill. 👍
2) This morning, I walked with Dan and Molly – Minus 19° Celsius (- 2.2 F) feels like Minus 26° Celsius (-14.8F) and I made the full route with very mild breathing trouble. YAY!
3) I received a text from our DIL Amanda this morning. They will be here from the 21st to the 24th to celebrate an early Christmas with us. They stay at a hotel when they are in Regina, but we host their two little dogs for the duration.


It was a bit of a doggy free for all when they were younger, but things are calming down as we get past the puppy years – and Molly loves the company.
Dan is gone shopping, which brings me to my Daily Food Diary WIN!
Dan does virtually all of our shopping. Since I have become more mindful of what I eat, we have both become more engaged with the shopping process and it has brought about a new level of communication between us. We discuss our menu and Dan has educated both of us when it comes to ingredients in prepared foods that we buy. He has read a LOT of labels and eliminated or changed a number of products that we used to buy. In the process, he has also become much more mindful of what he eats. In this way, my Daily Food Diary has become OUR Daily Food Diary WIN.

Thank you, John. It’s amazing that my lungs are able to handle the cold temps this year. Will be interesting to see how I do when they drop further.

Thank you, Mags. They are adorable – especially Cornelius who is just a cuddle bug. But when they were younger, they were a houseful! 😂

Yes, reading the food labels has become quite important as the big food companies put more and more unhealthy stuff in the foods they sell.
