Today is Day 364 of my Daily Food Diary! ๐
Today is New Year’s Eve.ย This year has had its challenges (as they all do), but it has been a good, productive year.ย I look forward to an evening of gratitude and reflection with my husband and our Molly dog.

Today,ย my Daily WINS are worthy of being celebrated every day..
1) Nature – we are fortunate to live in a relatively rural city with an abundance of greenspace to enjoy year round. Fresh air, natural beauty.. a win every time.

2) Fond farewells – this year I am particularly grateful to look back over the passing year and to celebrate everyone and everything that has been a part of it.ย 2025 has been a year of change, of growth, of living life well.ย ย
3) New beginnings – I have always loved new beginnings… I love the hope, the anticipation, the fresh start, the unlimited potential, the opportunity to start over, and to do better.. I celebrate new days, new weeks, new years!

My Daily Food Diary WIN for the day is the realization that, having become more mindful of what we consume, we have become more flexible about what and when we eat.ย
For the most part, supper has been the big meal of our day. When we worked – that worked for us. Now, there are an increasing number of days when breakfast/brunch is taking over the honors. We need the protein to carry us through the day and we both feel better in the evening following a light supper.
