Went to my first exercise class today. Yeah I get brownie points for that. https://i.pinimg.com/originals/0d/37/6a/0d376a2d09f8b1a45b9b477c010ab06a.gif

Got a bit behind but today was about eating well. Did pretty well so I'll give myself some brownie points. The doctor told me I need to work on my core and my posture to help with my spinal arthritis. Focus tomorrow on core. Hula hooping is the best way for me to do that. Halfway through December and only 2 1/2 months…

Today I signed up for an 1 month group class exercise membership at my local city gym. When I told my daughter what I did she told mom you know you aren't going to use it. So now I have to prove her wrong right? lol

Today I'm just absorbing information videos and I watched one of my favorite you tube channel people. I noticed she had toned arms and she's only 4 years younger than me so today I'm going to cut open my moving box and get out my weights. Did good on my eating which I'm refocusing on. These are two videos whose speakers…

I wanted to clarify. I'm not dieting. Last week I had an esophagus ring removal which opened up my esophagus more open so food will go into my stomach more easily. I, also, have a small hernia in the same area. I realized I was pushing it so I'm slowing down on meat as well as seeing if certain grains are bothering me. I…

Thanks for all the video. Sorry it took 8 months to look at them. I'm going to have to go through each one and bookmark the ones I think I can start with. I do think I might need to buy a pad to exercise on because I have laminate floors in my new rental house and I guess I might have moved into osteoporosis now.

Sorry I didn't message anyone. I've been having health problems. I'm glad you all got to see them this year. I saw them last year in Dallas but missed this year.

Hi I just saw your message. I've been off a very long time because of health problems. What is the IU diet? Myself I try to eat as many unprocessed foods as I can but sometimes I get weak and cave.

I just rewatched that drama again because I needed a push to get me past my current health struggles. I hit a low point this week where it was why me but today I woke up with I will just keep pushing forward.

I'm watching this interesting Japanese drama called Survival Wedding and in episode 5 the main male lead says something interesting that healthy is attractive. Beauty is sometimes seen as healthy but the real attraction is healthy when it comes to partnering up to pass on good genes. Not sure how that works with gay men…

Not one of my better days but I did 15 minutes of stretching exercise. This is kind of a cool workout video with the korean actor So Ji Sub. He's one of my favorities https://youtu.be/rx7iG8raebg

20 minutes of weighted and regular hula hooping https://youtu.be/i3CxKfGM-pQ I found like this young woman that my waist starts changing around day 7 of hooping but nothing like the 2 1/2 inches she was able to take off.

He's amazingly flexible

Worked out for at least 45 minutes. Some dancing, resistance and small weights. Had to take a kids Motrin to get rid of some of the joint pain before I started working out but the only way to make my joints better is to work out. https://youtu.be/rcEyUNeZqmY

I keep putting these in the wrong place but I don't have the will to retype it again so here it will stay for a while.

Thanks you I need that encouragement. My health problems are getting me down but I tried to get a hour in today. If I don't get moving I'm going to freeze up joint wise.

I should say fort worth not dallas.

I just saw your post. Glad you found us. I have to say I'm a tad bit boring post wise but knowing that I can't go too many days back sliding has at least kept me on the straight and narrow food wise. It will be my first BTS concert too. I am going through terrible kpop concert withdraw since Dallas has been getting a lot…

the beans were whole. I boiled and mushed them. I tend to like simple food more. I am probably the only one at a Tex Mex restaurant who is happy with refried beans, some guacamole, and a tortilla or tortilla chips.

My semi homemade refried beans. 2 canned Busch Pinto Beans with sauted onions, three tsps garlic powder and 1/4 tsp dried red pepper. Guacamole, lettuce and tomatoes on top.

Sorry for the sideways pictures. if you are vegan I guess you could so a hot sauce or ginger dressing instead of a mayo type dressing.

My broccoli slaw/light miracle whip with turkey bacon on toasted sprouted wheat bread. If you don't eat meat I guess you can use a smoky cheese or grilled vegetable or fruit. i think kimchi might be a viable substitute for the broccoli slaw or regular slaw.

Not sure how good this kimchi but nice video.https://youtu.be/7hcslHSzEDk

oh i really like kimchi. i will cut it up and put it with eggs and onion/garlic for breakfast. It is, also, a natural probiotic. Something that I like to do is eat baked sweet potatoes which kimchi on top. i think i saw it first on the kdrama Bride of the Century. I might be wrong on that. it is a nice combination of sweet…

Pretty Noon Who Buys Me Food or the other name Something in the Rain gave me the motivation to be open to dating. My divorce was finalized 2 years ago. To see such a genuinely sweet love story was so nice. My parents were best friends until my dad passed. She told me that my dad knew all her secrets whatever they were I…

Yes people thought he was super young and were weirded out by it but he is 30.

It was really good and I like both main male leads. Sometimes I like the slightly older actors because they bring so much to the parts and maybe since I am so much older than the leads.

To be honest I think what I'd like to do is keep my meat consumption down really low. When I was married my ex ate a lot of meat and I started eating more. I don't think eating large quantities is conducive to my well being. Just a small amount. I had to go without eating meat for 6 months after my gall bladder surgery and…

I haven't watched Lawless Lawyer yet. Master's Sun has been my rewatch drama. It was a drama I watched very early when I first started watching dramas. I can't remember if I watched Flower Boy Next Door. I will have to check.

my try at using flax seed oil to saute instead of canola oil was a bit of a hit and miss. The taste was good but i didn't check the right oil temp before I started so it was a bit smokey. The flavor wasn't bad so I might be able to use it in baking. Supposedly canola oil isn't good for us but I am not sure I am buying it…
