It’s Day 42 of tracking and reporting my daily intake. It is also two days before I begin Year Four – of the health and fitness journey I began in 2022. It is ALSO my daughter Jennifer’s 44th birthday!
Jennifer is my youngest of two sons and one daughter. When she was born, Mark was 3 1/2 years old, Danny was 1 1/2, and of course Jen was a newborn. I was NOT in the shape I am today. I’m glad that young mothers now seem to be much more aware of their health and fitness and take better care of themselves than I did back in the day.
We are still in the deep freeze. This morning it is -38c without the windchill. I won’t be venturing far today. Dan and I were out and about a bit yesterday. We went to a mall to check out a couple of sales. I didn’t break the bank shopping but did come away with a new pair of summer shorts. We also stopped for lunch at Burger King on the way home. It’s funny how I miss fast food, but the reality never meets my experiences. 🤔

The BK was not worth the cost, the calories, or the salt content. And the burger was definitely not worth the effort of eating it with wooden utensils. I am not sure what the options would be if plastic is no longer allowed, but wood does not cut it. (No pun intended 😂). The only thing that was worth it was sharing the experience with Dan. Our meals out in general are few and far between and still moments to be treasured.
That’s it for today. Take care and have a great day! 💞😊
