respiratory health – Seclusion 101 with AnneMarie

It is 160 Days since I started posting my Daily Food Diary. 😬

Yesterday was not a banner day in the the kitchen!

I was over on calories *, processed sugar, sodium, and saturated fats. I fell short on fruits and vegetables. 😞

There was a BUT on the calories. I was over because I didn’t do my aerobic workout in the morning. BUT, I was active all day – I was just doing things that I don’t count the calories used for.

I brushed Molly, we took her for a bath, and I walked her home from the pet store (to help finish drying her).

I finished the laundry, baked Lemon Squares for Danny and cut up all three squares I made and packaged them up. I watered the garden and the flowers in the front yard. I packed. I did the dishes from breakfast, lunch, and baking and cleaned the sink, counter tops, and stove top. I tidied up the house, had a bath and did my hair.

I had a short visit with granddaughter Genie and I brushed Molly AGAIN.

**Clean, fluffy, and totally exhausted!**

Today we hit the road to go up to son Dan’s to watch the boys for a few days. It should be a few active days and a few healthy days in the kitchen! 👍

It is Day 21 of my Daily Food Diary. Three weeks since I began recording my intake and sharing it here on JetPack. 😊 (I cannot begin to express my appreciation for those who have checked in and especially those of you who have been regular visitors to my blog. Your support and encouragement goes a long way to keeping me on track!)

My diet still needs improvements, but daily tracking has already helped me to up my water intake substantially in the past few days. This has had two major positives for me.

Number 1 – My between meal snacking has decreased naturally and easily.

Number 2 – My sinuses have improved significantly, which in turn is beginning to improve my sleep and my lung function.

The best thing about building healthy habits is how easily one good thing leads to another. 🤗

Our cold weather snap broke yesterday, so with the our sun shining and feeling good, I went outside to feed the squirrels. I also took Molly’s new Frisbee to play fetch with her. Molly does not play fetch particularly well but I did get fresh air and a bit of exercise (fetching Molly’s Frisbee) in addition to my regular morning workout. I’ll take that as a win!
