Daily Food Diary – Day 355 of 365

by annemariedemyen, posted in 2025, Health and Fitness

Today is Day 355 of my Daily Food Diary! 😄

There are 10 DAYS left of 2025 and 10 Days before I meet my goal of maintaining and posting my Daily Food Diary for a full year!

Being retired and somewhat of a homebody hermit, meeting my goal has not been that challenging, for the most part.

Trying to do my Daily Food Diary today, with a lap full of small dogs, is a little more challenging than usual this morning.

My WINS for the Day today:

1) Wrapping ALL of our Christmas gifts yesterday!  There are a few things about the Christmas Season that I really do enjoy.  Wrestling wrapping paper, ribbons, and tape is NOT one of them.  But, I am done for 2025 so YAY!

2) Son Dan & Family arrived safe and sound yesterday.  So good to see all of them, including Gabby, who is at the University of Alberta in Edmonton this year (working on completing her Psychology degree).

Gabby, Dan, Cason, Amanda, & Lucas!

3) A feel good yesterday and a great night sleep. (8 solid hours – slept like a rock!)

BONUS WIN – Maintaining peace and joy despite vacuum cleaner dying AND one perfectly aimed fling of Molly’s tail taking out a full can of rootbeer and sending rootbeer foam flying from the coffee table to the carpet, to the wood floor, to the sofa, to the wall, stool, desk, Cason, and Gabby. 

My Daily Food Diary WIN for the day..

Cutting back (significantly) on sugar this year.  For most, this would be a good thing, for me it is great! With multiple lung issues (asthma, bronchiectasis, and COPD) plus an allergy to yeast – sugar is a bad thing – and a big weakness of mine! Especially CAKE with frosting! This year cake was minimal. 👍💪😉
