DEEEBEE'S DIARY


I haven't lost weight for quite a while but I haven't gained any, either. It's very hard for me to hold to 1500 calories/day, although I did it today. It's not the lack of exercise...it's the excess calories that I'm trying to eliminate. Everyone knows that new healthy habits are notoriously hard to develop.

Member Since: 1/27/2009

Fitness Minutes: 281,701

My Goals:
To stay healthy, eat better, and have some fun.

My Program:
 I do stretches every morning, and I walk 6 days/week. I walk with the Volksmarchers (ava.org), some friends 1X/week, and meetups (info@meetup.com). I'm on SP's 10K/day team, which is very motivating. From time to time, I have a session at our community gym.


Personal Information:
I have always lived in St. Louis. I've been married for over 30 years to Gordon, a very patient man. We have two adult children and two grandsons, 23 and 10, who live in Albuquerque. I retired from teaching high school, but then helped a friend at her preschool for 3 years. I am very much enjoying retirement.

Other Information:
 Favorite TV shows: The Daily Show with Trevor Noah, John Oliver, Bill Maher, Samantha Bee's Full Frontal, and Stephen Colbert's Tonight. We obviously like news satire.

Favorite books: The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls, The Clan of the Cave Bear by Jean Auel, Blue Highways by William Least Heat Moon, The Help by Kathryn Stockett

    I'm glad that it turned out to be just a "watch" and that it was canceled. Tsunamis that hit countries can be very devastating. I haven't experienced a tsunami, but I remember when I was very young, we used to evacuate because I lived in the town where the Hanapepe river is close by. Thankfully nothing happened. I'm glad I now live high above the rising waters of the sea. The only thing we worry about are hurricanes and thunderstorms!

    I usually get some sweet treats for the girls in my life. These girls are my daughters and our three granddaughters. This year I saw the "treats" which is usually food (such as arare or rice crackers) in a package that looks like a Japanese doll. But I don't know what I was thinking, and didn't get any for my girls. Oh well, maybe on Friday I will get them a treat.

    Some years the Japanese Society would put on a show of Japanese dancing at the shopping center, but with covid, this has stopped for now. Also, when I was a youngster, I got this castle with dolls and the whole shebang. I'm not sure if I can find a picture, but if I do, I'll post it.

    I've never heard of "friendship day" and it seems to be a nice tradition of exchanging small gifts even though recycled.

    It's my pleasure to share a recipe that I got from someone else. Sharing is caring, and I hope you make this one day.

    This recipe turned out great. It's simple to make and you can "make it your own" with imagination. We are all hoping that things will slowly go back to the "good ole days"!
