Today is Day 343 of my Daily Food Diary! That is a full 49 weeks of maintaining and posting my Food Diary every day!

For my December recap, My Daily Food Diary win for today is another BIG one – possibly the biggest so far!

As part of my overall Health and Fitness Lifestyle, becoming mindful of what I consume each day has helped me to FEEL GOOD.

In July,  I turned seventy years old.  I have no real idea how good I should feel – but I feel good!  When I go out anywhere, I notice the grey haired women around me.  I never know how old they are or any extenuating health issues they may have, but they do not look like me, they do not move like me, and they do not seem as happy as me.  Obviously, I cannot see myself but I know I do not shuffle, I am not bowed over or leaning on the grocery cart for support, or using one of those store scooters.   And, whether I look it or not, I know I am happy.

In the online world, I likewise seldom see myself – especially in those ‘after sixty you should never… articles’.  I read one this week, by a supposed heart specialist, who claimed that while some people may be able to shovel snow until the are 65, however most  people over 45 should refrain from doing so – unless they are using a snow blower or possibly a push shovel (if used with caution).   😳

Today I have a few general life wins to celebrate and appreciate…

1) This morning Dan, Molly, and I went for our walk and stopped off at the dogpark.  We didn’t make our full typical route, but Molly got in a few good runs with Ripple. We were out in the fresh air  for pretty much a full hour.. (very fresh air  -30° Celsius  with the windchill or -22° F).  I had no trouble breathing, very little coughing, and I didn’t feel that the cold was unbearable.

2) I got the results from my blood tests that I had done yesterday.  They weren’t as thorough as usual, but everything they tested for came back perfectly NORMAL

3) Yesterday, I did  all of our laundry – I am now officially ready to start tackling Christmas baking.

4) Tonight, I am out and about – heading off to Maddy’s band concert with Jen.

So many wins these days, so much to be grateful for! 🤗
