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: 279,431

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

    We go to the dentist twice a year for cleaning, xrays, and hopefully nothing else. Hubby's eye appointments are once a year and mine are twice a year. My vision is not the greatest, but thanks to glasses I can see. I've had several eye operations over the years, but I am managing to see well enough with glasses. "Old age" they say, but we're all headed that way. Hubby is getting new glasses this visit.

    I don't mind wearing glasses as I've been wearing them all my life. Daughter uses contacts when she runs, and son and older daughter both wear glasses. I guess glasses run in the family (ha ha).

    I'm glad your vision is good. Take care of those eyes!

    I'm glad your dental appointment went well. Actually I was mistaken and wrote that hubby had a dental appointment when, in fact, he had an eye appointment. His dental is next month. Oops, big blooper. Anyway his eye check up was good with slight changes in his vision. All's good though. But, yes, we need to take care of our teeth especially since we only have the ones we have now. No more second chances. Flossing and brushing are important to do daily!

    Yes, nice to "meet" you, and yes, I joined the group. I had no trouble being included. I already saw some awesome photos.

    I wouldn't trade living anywhere else. Our "cold" is your "warm."

    Brrr....53 degrees. It would be freezing for me. Did you have sunshine with the 53 degrees?
