This is Day 186 of my Daily Food Diary. 😊

A healthy diet is an important part of the Healthy & Fit Lifestyle that I have been working to adopt over the past Three Years and Four Months. But, it is not the only part.

I  also focus on regular exercise, stress management, adequate sleep, fresh air, and regular lung clearing/deep breathing for my chronic respiratory issues.

Living a Healthy & Fit Lifestyle has led me to living a relatively active life in general.  This active life has resulted in having more strength and energy to tackle many daily chores including deep cleaning tasks around our house.

Living in a small, older home (our house was my husband’s first home) and having a very  large  furry dog (who regularly brings the outdoors in) can make housekeeping around here challenging,  to say the least.

Having a clean uncluttered home is important for anyone’s physical and mental wellbeing.  For someone like myself, with multiple respiratory issues – it is crucial.   I cannot breathe in a dirty / dusty environment.  Dust negatively affects my sinuses, throat, lungs – everything!

This weekend our weather has turned cool and wet, and yesterday we had smoke coming down from northern forest fires.  It is giving me the opportunity to stay indoors and tackle some ‘indoor’ chores  that have  been neglected while I have been outdoors enjoying the fresh air and working in our yard and garden lately.

These photos are from my Christmas clean-up, but I’m getting there!  😊
