Yay, I like that everyone is trying to do a play on the age game.
3+7 = 10 items
1. My very favorite person, my son, Cody
2. My parents giving me such a good life.
3. My mom beating breast cancer.
4. My dog Peter.. He helps me with my empty nest syndrome that I have gone on.
5. My boyfriend, he is such a good supporter of everything I do.
6. My jobs. I wouldn't be able to give my son or myself the life we have without having my job securities.
I will have to ponder the 7-10 items.2 -
60 years old, so 6 items.
1. Becoming a Christian 10 years ago is my Number One gratitude. I have learned to lean on God and rely on Him, and not on my own understanding. This has brought me much peace during some really rocky times, and has also helped with my weight loss journey.
2. My best friend. He has helped me in my spiritual walk so much during this past 10 years. Although we have been friends for 30 years, our friendship has grown and strengthed mightily during this time.

@ngk2000
So sorry about your doggie. I know very well how difficult those final days can be. My dear old boy has been gone over a year and I still think about him so often. But they leave us with so many happy memories and treasured moments. I wish you the best.

Looking for after supper snack ideas. I usually eat a tuna and cracker snack pack but I am sick of them. I have been snacking on fruit but it drives my blood glucose up in the mornings.0
-
@lindamtuck2018 My favorite evening snack is Triscuit Fire Roasted Tomato crackers with Swiss cheese. I follow a lower sodium diet and just love the saltiness and crunch of these crackers. Plus the Swiss cheese is lower in calories.3
-
I am a cheese and crackers man as well. There is a wholemeal cracker from a local store, mature cheddar or wensleydale with cranberries. Not the lowest calories but satisfying.1

Week 4 goals
1. Walk 8000 steps every day except Sunday
2. At least 20 minutes of activity daily

Spent most of the day recovering from 2 busy days with the grandkids. Love them to pieces but they wear me out. Next week is the last week of the outdoor pool be open every day so I am considering taking my gym membership off hold. I am thinking with some of the weight gone I may try a group class or two.

I liked your goals! Will be doing same from today.

lindamtuck2018 wrote: »Week 4 Challenge from Shrinking AssetsThis week is going to be about what makes us happy or thankful. Let’s make a list of those items. But how long is the list going to be? Well, it’s all about your age. Add the 2 numbers of your age together. For example, I am 55, so 5+5=10. My list will have 10 things that make me happy or thankful. Everyday take a few items from your list and share it with the your teammates.
I'm 40, so get off easy with only 4 things to list!
1. I'm grateful for the natural world, and having the privilege to live in such a beautiful place. My home is a suburb between a mountain and the ocean. Almost every day I walk by the beach (in warm weather on the beach, in cooler weather overlooking the sea), and if I turn the other way, my view is of a forested mountain (in fact, at the right angle I can look at both the mountains and the sea at the same time).
My home itself is nothing special, but on a nice day I can sit in the sun outside or go for a walk, breath in clean air, smell the salt spray, look at the trees, water, or animal life, and appreciate our co-dependence and interconnectedness to all things.
Yesterday I went canoing with my family at a river about 1 hour from where we live, it was so peaceful, and we saw wombats in the wild for the first time (normally they are nocturnal, and we'd only seen them in a zoo, or dead by the side of the road). We were able to get up really close. My daughter wanted to pat it, but I reminded her that it is a wild animal and could bite if it felt threatened. We also saw an echidna, which is rare for us to see. The day before, we saw a blue tongue lizard in our backyard - which we knew had been living there, but weren't sure if it had moved on as I've only seen it maybe 4 times in the past year and a half. Where we live are also lots of beautiful birds - rosellas, rainbow lorikeets, kookaburra, cockatoos, parrots, corellas.
I'm not a real "nature" buff, but spending time in nature definitely helps reduce stress and to 'slow down', get perspective, etc.
Wow! You are living in a wonderful place!👍1 -
I should count 9 things I am thankful for but I would count three today.
1. My mother: lucky to have such a multi-talented intelligent and intellectual person who cared for me and taught me many things. Always there for me!!
2. My kid: Nothing can compare to experience of motherhood and though it's not easy I grew up, he is the source of eternal contentment, joy as well as worry for me.
3. Thankful to God for giving me strength and knowledge and a sense of belonging to it.3 -
