P. went to Brazil on a business trip early Sunday. I’m thrilled. I like when he goes away. He’ll be gone till Saturday so I have all week to be stress free. I planned my meals, (small and healthy), invited my son and granddaughter down, (they couldn’t do this week), and lined up shows I…

I am constantly aware of the struggle I have with standing up straight. Most of my day at home is spent either sitting or walking around with my walker. This has contributed to my forward leaning self. When I am standing, doing laundry, washing dishes, cooking, counting out my daily pills, making coffee, etc., my…

On an episode of The Today Show, their guest was Sara Gottfried, M.D. She is the author of several books relating to resetting your hormones as you age. The book that I am giving an overview of is: “The Hormone Reset Diet.” This appealed to me because of the claim that it will heal your…

In the February/March AARP Magazine, one of the cover stories; “A Flat Belly in 6 Steps, AARP’s First Diet Plan for People over 50.” What a headline! Upon reading the article which is a book excerpt from “The Whole Body Reset,” by Stephen Perrine. The diet is a 10 day reset plan. Basically it is…

This month, March, I weighed in on the 6th, at 138.4 lbs. I’m entering late because we went away again. Honestly, I don’t believe it. Since the start of monthly weigh ins I’ve lost 3 to 3 1/2 lbs. I don’t feel it at all. I am not dieting but I have returned to riding…

My frustration with P came to a head this weekend. We were going out to do some errands. First of all I had to wait until he was ready, which ended up being very late in the afternoon, 4:30. No matter how many times I’ve stated that my high energy is in the morning. Next…

My energy is back! I’m so grateful. I volunteered yesterday and came home very tired. I didn’t do anything the rest of the day and felt guilty. Today I woke up thinking of all the things I needed to do and feeling a bit overwhelmed. I wanted to do a load of laundry, write in…

I’m not feeling well at all. Last Wednesday my right thigh started itching. I discovered that there was a raised red mark that had something sticking out that I removed. After that it didn’t itch anymore. I thought maybe some kind of bug bite. Right after that was when I first started being so tired.…

This is the day exactly one year ago that my girl, Maggie, died. I thank God every day that my family was there with me. It was probably the hardest thing I ever had to do, was to put her down. I still feel bad about it and in looking back, I should have done…
