Today is DAY 365 of my Daily Food Diary! One FULL year of mindful eating, mindful living, and daily progress in my Health and Wellness Journey. 🤩
Today is New Year’s Day. 🎊 In lieu of posting my Daily WINS, I decided to share memorable moments from 2025.
January 1st, 2025 – Committing to maintaining and posting My Daily Food Diary February – Embracing the Good LifeMarch – Signs of an early spring that didn’t happen….April – Our bedding plants are ready to grace our flower beds.May – Cooking from scratch – no yeast, no additives!June – A trip north to spend a week with son Dan & Family July – Celebrating Alec & Genie becoming husband & wifeAugust – A short trip to Gravelbourg to visit Mom and Dad – gone but not forgotten. September – Helping daughter Jen strip down her Jeep and enjoying the Health and Fitness that allowed me to do so!October – putting miles on our treadmill.November – Grateful for all of the benefits of collagen supplements. Strong nails were not my goal, but they were a notable and welcome sign that the collagen was working for me.December – Celebrating Christmas hosted by the newly weds, following my hernia surgery and a short but delightful visit from son Dan andfamily.
Yesterday, I was back in holiday mode so I took another pass on counting every calorie – but I did remain mindful of what I ate. Breakfast was crumpets with butter and jam. Tea and Christmas Cake were my afternoon snack. For supper I enjoyed Arby’s roast beef with fries and gravy. And.. I rang in midnight with a couple of chocolates and a large glass of water. 🥛
2025 is a wrap. While I will no longer be posting my Daily Food Diary, I will be staying mindful of what I eat – and I will keep working to improve my diet going forward.
And, I will be back with my 2026 Daily Activity Journal!
This is my 146th consecutive day since I began posting my Daily Food Diary! 🎉😳
Molly is waiting at the back door for our morning walk so I have to make this one really quick!
I lost some time this morning making pancakes and sausages for breakfast. It isn’t the healthiest breakfast, especially for someone who is working to be mindful of what I am eating. But… I used vegetable oil in and to cook the pancakes in, rather than melted butter. I used one tablespoon of sugar rather than two in the pancake batter. I went very light on the butter on the pancakes I had, and we used Pure Maple Syrup – which is supposedly the least unhealthy option for processed sugar.
Yesterday, we spent much of the day outside working in the yard and garden and enjoying the beautiful weather.
That Tiny Tim Tomato plant looks pretty tiny, but it is double the size it was when I planted it in this grow bag. And the flowers seem to be happy in their new flower bed. This little petunia burst into bloom overnight.
I have to run or Molly might leave without me. I’m pretty sure she could scale our chain link fence if she wanted to. So far we have been lucky that she hasn’t been that motivated.
But she could be – motivated that is!
