Daily Food Diary – Day 242 of 365

by annemariedemyen, posted in 2025, Health and Fitness

Today is Day 242 of my Daily Food Diary. 💯

Yesterday, I came out 76 calories over my Net Calorie Goal.  This was not because I ate more than I should have.  I just took a day off from any of the workout routines that  I  usually indulge in to burn off extra  calories. 

No walk with Molly, no aerobics, no weights, and no treadmill. 

I did drive Dan out to his golf tournament, did my typical house chores, and watered the garden.  By the time I finished my blog and did my check-in with my workout buddies I was done.

I have been under the weather this past week and yesterday I  had no gas left in the tank.

I’m not feeling any better today, so my plan is to post my blog and head off for nap.

Hopefully, by tomorrow I will be getting up to a better day – ALL DAY!

Looks good to me.  See you tomorrow!  🙂

Daily Food Diary – Day 186 of 365

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!  😊

Yesterday, I scrubbed the kitchen floor – including moving the fridge and stove.  That was a bit scary. 🙄
Today it is time to tackle the living room.  👍
