Is Nutrition the Key

 My life has been one long diet.  Currently the dietician and doctor have me on a low carb diet.  With emphasis on getting more protein in so I feel less hungry. I now start my morning with a high protein shake with my coffee as the liquid.  It's not bad - I am use to it now.  But pumpkin spice season is coming, do they make pumpkin spice protein whey powder?

Well, son of a gun they do - found it on Amazon - guess I will order some Friday so that I have it for the upcoming season.

I was at the hip doctor this morning - finally a joint that doesn't need to be replaced.  Tendinitis, oh well, the joys of getting older.  Now is the time I need to start reversing all these things that are wrong with me.

This morning I used the time waiting for the doctor to relax and meditate with controlled breathing.  Felt really good to do so.  Now I ate my lunch and will start drinking water instead of a diet soda to refresh and energize me.  

Yes, water can help energize you.  So water it is,

Next I am addressing all this arthritis in my joints - I have started with collagen.  Now some research into other herbs and vitamins.

As I venture out and check out different things, I will let you know what I find out as I try different approaches.

<a href="https://www.tomoson.com?code=TOPc5f3218b923f01ae4a0beca8055100f1" rel="nofollow" style="display: none;"></a> So, a couple of months ago I ended up in the hospital because they thought I might of had a mini-stroke.  I had a bad headache and while the doctor was checking me over they found some weakness on my right side - my hand and arm weren't as strong as they should of been. Well, all turned out ok, I didn't have a mini-stroke, of course, they found something else, which I am not to crazy about. So - the other week I see an offer for this hand strengthener.  I thought why not try it.  So I ordered it on Amazon. Here is where you can find it:  https://www.amazon.com/YSJ-Strengthener-Strengthen-Rehabilitation-Exercising/dp/B07F6PYKBJ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1535508583&sr=8-1&keywords=grip%20strength%20trainer The Gripper thingy is adjustable.   I t has an adjustable tension from 22lb to 88lb, from super eas...

OUT OF CONTROL

 Help, I have eaten and I cannot stop.  Well, sort of.  Stepped on the scale this morning and holy gain weight batman.  My Birthday Celebration of much food and cake finally caught up with me.  IT is now September 1 so I need to shake off the cake - however, I just ate a piece of candy (ouch).   So where did I go wrong - I turned 68, LOL - I celebrate the whole month and I did not cook 1 meal last weekend and basically ate leftovers all week - not healthy. Not healthy at all. So back on the protein bus - eat my veggies - be mindful, It is easy? No it is not.  I wish there was a way to eat cake and loose weight.  If I come across it I will let you know.   Yoga is helping my joints so much - also I have added some herbal supplements that are suppose to help arthritis - I will share those with you all on the weekend. I notice when I walk that I walk like an old lady - bent over and wabble - this needs to stop! In the meantime, have a r...

A Weight Loss Journey - Take #378

Image
 So over and over I try to loose weight - I told my dear daughter-in-law, Lauren that I have lost 1000 pounds, 5 pounds lost, 5 pounds gained over and over again.  So now, on the eve of my 65th birthday I wanted to know why. I was listening to a weight loss podcast this morning, that was Bible based and the Preacher said something I can't forget - find your WHY?  And he was saying, you might have tried weight loss for an event, for someone else, your family, your friends but until you find the real why, you will not succeed, and that you cannot succeed without God.  Because it is with God, the creator of our bodies, we will learn how to take care of them.  So I have embarked on a spiritual journey and maybe, just maybe I will find my why.   Now, I invite also, my daughter-in-law, Lauren, to join me here in this blog, I am going to give her access hopefully, to this blog, and she may write whatever she wants or feels on this journey.  If she wishes...
