A healthy reminder

As 2025 is winding down. I have a difficult time believing these spring and summer months have gone so quickly.

Here are a few Fall reminders I hope you find to be useful.

Positive thoughts, positive actions= positive reactions.

This week since summer is wrapping up and there won’t be as many fresh fruit and vegetables to select I have decided to work at eating healthy meals.

I use these for a healthy snack.

I’ will try posting one healthy meal

as often as I can.

It’s just a suggestion to help anyone who wants to work on their health and lose a few unwanted pounds.

I don’t plan on being strict. I’m going to count calories. I did it before and I CAN do it again. I’m not giving up going out to eat either.

I occasionally like to do that but will avoid fast food restaurants if possible unless I can see something worthwhile and tasty.

I will continue to focus on portion control and no eating in between meals.

***This is tough one for me because I’m not a big meal eater and I snack in between. Of course my snacking is not healthy snacks so that has to change. No snacks at all is my goal. To eat More protein to fill me is.

By no means am I suggesting you join me but I welcome everyone. It’s about me and it can be about YOU.

I recently had my second knee replaced and am starting to feel better.

I belong to Silver sneakers and do my workout at home. It’s about 1/2 hour 5 days a week.

I also walk most days (weather permitting).

I will still post all of my YUMMY RECIPES because I intend on still making them but I will DEFINITELY be exercising portion control. I think most know what an average size meal should look like.

Note: ON TO EXERCISE. No pricey gyms are in my plan. Simple at home exercises(even chair exercise) will work. If you try to do too much you’ll get frustrated and lose interest. A good paced walk is a start. Weather permitting. A mall too is a good place to walk! (No shopping allowed) lol. Leave the shopping until you lose a few pounds.😃

****Also most IMPORTANT tell your DOCTOR/physician you are planning on doing the above and for obvious health reasons make sure he or she is ok with it.

PLEASE NOTE!!!! This is not a diet! THIS IS A LIFESTYLE CHANGE. Rome wasn’t built in a day to coin a phrase so take it slow. Inch by inch you and I will do it.

I know the first week will be the most difficult so allow for slip ups and look to me or anyone that will encourage and inspire you to reach your goal. Nay sayers are everywhere... avoid them!!! I have had people I am with say to my face when they see me eating healthy “what diet are you on”? It annoys me but I respond “I am not on a diet”! I’m Just trying to eat healthy .

If you have suggestions please comment . I appreciate a good piece of advice or suggestions and PLEASE post your pictures and or recipes.

Support is important so let’s support each other with this hopefully fun and not too serious getting “back on track “with good food choices.

Good luck and positive vibes being sent to you.
