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: 283,992

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

    You sound like me. This is the 5th house I have had to clean out, but it is the dirtiest by far!. I have cleaned out 3 of my husband's aunt's houses and my MIL's house. One of the aunt's was a hoarder - ceiling to floor - but not dirty. The other houses were very tidy, my brother was a hoarder and nothing was cleaned or thrown away since at least 2012. I think his "wife" left him at that time (he was married 5x) and I believe he gave up. We are having his house torn down this summer - it is that bad. I don't know how he lived in it. I know you know what I am talking about! So sad.
    After three weeks, I finally feel like I am making some headway. I've always been the one that the family calls on for help. I need to learn to say "no" more often! HA! Prayer gets me through.
    Have a good week! Lee Ann

    Our temps range from low 60s to high 80s. We sometimes get 90s here. It's been quite chilly in the mornings (even low 70s is cold) and then it gets hot (high 80s). Actually when the sun is out (even though it's not too hot), I keep myself covered with long sleeves, long pants, a hat, and of course, dark glasses. I don't want to get burnt by the sun!!

    I like the tomato mozzarella panini and the kale and portabella mushroom bites. Of course, I just love the brownies and the green tea creme frappuccino!! Our Starbucks in Kukui Grove has been open for a while now. I love using the app to order my food. It's so convenient! I truly hope the end of this pandemic is near, but who knows. One must still be very careful!!

    Right now walking is our best form of exercise since hubby has a sore arm. He can't do his regular exercises. Even tai chi or qigong is hard for him. But he tries...
