Exercise builds muscle…and muscle helps your mitochondria and glucose regulation which is good for your brain… Yesterday I went to enjoy Kickin' it Irish with my friend from church. She makes it an annual tradition to go for St. Patrick's Day💚. A former River Dance dancer started the program over twenty years ago. It was a…

MO I plated some tulips a few years ago but only one batch comes up. I also plant the hyacinth I buy this time of year and have had better luck with those. I find I am busy doing other yard work in the fall so it is hard for me to find time to plant bulbs. I am looking forward to start gardening in about a month. I hope…

About a year ago I noticed I was starting the beginnings of hammer toe. That is caused by the misalignment of the big toe (also the cause of bunions. I learned that the cause is wearing shoes and socks. Even jogging shoes do not leave enough room in the toe space. I have started going barefoot in the mornings and try when…

(((Katie ))) Penny a walrus does have nasty tusks so I can see why polar bear loses in the fight. I would think it best to watch them from afar… Decided to not go down to see a play with son today. It starts at 9:30 in the morning. I would have to leave by 8 to get there. With adjusting to daylight savings time I just…

Michele…this is a picture of how… I do TP in my downstairs bath at my house and I do something similar at son's. In both homes where the dispenser is the towels can cover up the TP depending on what kind of towels I use. My cousin Petra had something like this at her home and I liked it. I got this small doll chair years…

Rita I had a sweet gum tree in the yard where I grew up. The tree is still standing. those gum balls are a menace to step on and are not easy to rake. Allie When DH had his kidney removed about ten years ago I remember it was important for him to take his pain meds before the pain hit. He did get off of them just as soon…

Tracey I would add reduce your glycemic load. More and more chronic illnesses the amount of extra glucose in your body aggravates these illnesses. One way to reduce is to watch for added sugars. Ideally you have less than 25 grams per day. Fruit unless it is overly ripe is not added to this. Fruit has fiber and that helps…

Good Morning…I got my resistance training for the week yesterday. shoveled out half my driveway and helped two different people get there cars unstuck on our street. Turns out we got 9 inches of heavy wet snow. Drew didn't do much walking yesterday. She hates rain and snow. Should be better today. I will try later to get…

YAY! Figured out picture sizing. When you copy in a picture, the icons at the top let you pick the size you want. I first had to highlight and make a copy of Rita's post. Then I pasted into my comment. Then I went to paragraph icon and found code block under " . I did have trouble copying her comment I am going to try…
-
Heading under paragraph symbol is new bold. I tried the photo size. If I do nothing it comes out large like my first post. Always something new to keep the mind humming! The icons look like what you find on Facebook. When typing you can highlight and bold feature comes on along with you can add an delete word by crossing…

Picture from Kitchen window…Yesterday no snow on the grounds to wake up to this..Knew it was coming so I bought myself some pink yesterday. I look at these on my kitchen table. I had nice dinner with DS last night. He wanted pork chops(I bought from local butcher, red potatoes, sweet potato, and green beans…desert was a…

Took my taxes in to be done today. More complicated because of DH death this year. It will be easier next year. Reading The Health Habit by Elizabeth Rider. Her suggestions for a healthy diet are similar to mine. I liked how she talked about the difference between being a moderator versus and abstainer in approach to diet.…

Rita Happy Birthday :flowerforyou: Michele When I looked up cons on Google the AI pointed out that it may cause muscle loss. In the interview this was discussed too. That is why unfortunately when people go off it they regain and more because muscle helps keep glucose in check and muscle also helps keep your bones strong.…

Watched an interesting interview on insulin resistance and the effect it has on your body and weight. Again it convinced me at my age almost 70 to stay away from the refined carbs and to be more careful of starches and fruits. I also need to up my movement during the day and if I do eat a refined carb to make sure I get…

Went out for tea with the daughter of a friend of mine who passed last year and her husband. The husband is making many of the major changes I have been making this past year. It was great to find a kindred spirit. He is trying to get his wife to address how much she likes to go out to eat both for cost and for health. We…

Listened to a interview with Dr. Seyfried about the theory that cancer is a metabolic illness not a genetic illness. Take aways for me are continue high fiber diet but be more mindful of foods that can spike glucose level like too much fruit, up greens and other veggies that are low in sugar and starch, continue…

Treated myself to some pink yesterday. It felt like spring here. What a difference a week makes...Hyacinths smell spring to me! <img src="https://scontent-msp1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/481659239_2470845739921889_4149689436219436975_n.jpg?stp=dst-…

One of the books I am reading is exploring the fact that some cancers are a metabolic disease. The theory is mitochondria becomes damaged when it is damaged it feeds on glucose to get it its energy. They are experimenting with having people fast before a chemo treatment. The theory is the healthy mitochondria gets stronger…

Lanette I just read this on one of my feeds in Gmail...I liked how it puts a plan into a habit you are trying to create. Our brains need 3 main things to make a new habit actionable. 1) A time 2) A specific place 3) Duration So, instead of saying, "I want to meditate today." You say, "Today, at 9 am, I'm going to meditate…

Lanette My take away from Atomic Habits is remove the trigger if you can. Example he gave was someone who would stop to get a fast food treat daily. Changing the route and choosing a healthier chose in its staid made for a better result. Also figuring out a reward that is healthy for a change of habit as a motivator. We do…

Kylia More and more is being learned about lifestyle and how it affects our genes. I am learning more and more how diet and life style affects our microbes in our gut and the profound influence it can have on our health. Unfortunately the SAD American diet is addictive and adds more misery onto those who suffer with…

Tracey This past week we had the same kind of weather. It will finally break today and tomorrow no overnight below 0. Yeah! It has been hard on my little dog. It is less than 5 minutes in and out. Even with that I have double coated her. When we come in I walk her around the house by throwing freeze dried food for her to…

Beth The book It is Okay You Are Not Okay helped me and still helps me. It also helps me know what to say to others who are experiencing grief. One thing I often say is nothing or I say there is no wrong way to experience grief. One thing that helped me in reading that book was when someone just loses someone it is not my…

I had trouble downloading one of tax forms today. I had too much stored in my downloads and my computer was not happy about it. When I tried another lap top it loaded just fine. I did try to delete files but I still have more to do to help this computer to work better. Some I thought were deleted but I guess for some…

Weather will start taking a turn to getting us out of the deep freeze. By Saturday we will be back in 20's, 30's at least for awhile. We have not had massive snows this season but there is March to come. The end of winter is in sight. Brother in St. Louis informed me his home in south of St. Louis might get 9 inches of…

Lanette I just bought a new Lazer printer to print off what I needed for taxes. I wanted to do it from my laptop that has more security. My old desk top has a printer but it takes forever to make prints off of it and because of its age I don't feel it is as secure as my lap top. Like you I use a cable. The printer did not…
