Me and My Diet

 


So the past month or so, I have been thinking a lot about my diet.  No, not a fad diet or keto or "thirty in thirty" but the everyday food and drink that I consume.  I knew something was wrong, I could feel it, so I tried to cut down on carbs and eat more fruits and veggies but, on the 62nd day of 2022 (ironically World Obesity Day), I was diagnosed as a diabetic.  On the one hand, I should be happy that it took so long to catch up with me.  I don't drink, smoke,. or do drugs, but I sure love my food!  And, on 3/4/22, I need to march forth (get it??) into the future making better choices about my daily diet.  That is why my Two for 2022 is Me and My Diet.  What I was not today was placed on insulin.  Yeah I have some prescriptions to fill and I will consult with a diabetes educator, but my PA does not want me to go on insulin until we're sure I cannot "Diet my Way" out of this.  I appreciate the chance, I have my doubts of my own resolve, but I have a lot of people who will keep me honest (and am adding so many of you online now who can call me out) and we'll see what happens.  I have lost a bunch of weight since the start of the year, so let's focus on a proper diet, more exercise, and making the right choices to continue to do so......Keep me in your prayers.

Facebook and Memories

  I know a lot of people who have given up on Social Media.  And, yes, I concur that the FB business model is filled with issues and shadiness.  But, on a rough day at work on 4/20/2022, I looked at my FB feed and a memory came up that made me beam with joy.  You all probably can see the memory below, on the 110th day of 2022, of when Alexa hit two homeruns in a softball game and Sarah got them both on video and Collingswood won 13-7.  Well, it was not a lot, but it got me through today with a smile on my face.  So I have thanks for my two for 2022 for tonight, Facebook and Memories.  Days like today are what keep me on the platform (well that and my need for this nightly reflection!)  Good Night all and may your memories be happy!

UD and Family Weekend

Image
What a day the 274th day of 2022 has been.  Started off, where Anna was LAST year at the PTA Mum Sale for Collingswood High School.  A cold and wet sale that, although it did not sell as many we had hope we would, but the teamwork, camaraderie, and good humor amongst the myriad of volunteers made the time go fast (except for 7-9AM :-) ).  THEN, it was on to where Anna is now, and the Two for 2022 for 10/1/2022: UD and Family Weekend!  The Delaware Football Team won and is 5-0.  We got to see Kassidy and the Presses, I finally got to see Anna's dorm room (it looks really nice!), meet Anna's roommates, and check out the campus when students are actually present.  And we capped off the evening with some shopping, and dinner, at the Christiana Mall.  Anna seems to be really enjoying her time at UD and I am proud of her for her hard work and pursual of a career in K-6 education.  It was also really neat to see Family Weekend from another side, at a dif...
