Happy New year all my SparksPeople friends

Thursday, January 03, 2013

Well all of us in this new year of 2013, are off to Walking and keeping our bodies in shape and Keep Healthy and our body fit. I really don't care about how heavy my body is at my age, as my 73 birthday is next week. My body seems to know what it wants to weigh. I am more interested at my age feeling good every day, and moving freely without any soreness or physically strained, keeping within my BMI range . I am working on my exercise three times a week on my strength training with my muscles and walking at least 10000 steps a day bu using my life source measure, and riding my recombinant Bicycle about 30 minutes. My weight seems to remain within 3 pounds of my original weight. I would love to loose about 5 pounds, so this is really my goal to work on this year.

I know I was Bad today, I Weaken, but it was a nice Treat

Tuesday, September 25, 2012

I know you say to yourself be strong, don't weaken to that treat but today we took our yearly trip up to Apple Hill up above Placerville, Ca. on highway 50 toward Tahoe. What a fun trip that was beautiful deep blue sky and perfect weather. We went in the middle of the week so there wasn't lots of people and traffic. Enjoyed buying our two boxes of Golden Delicious Apples. They were not as large this year, as in other years. Probably because of the weather. Here was my down fall.

But this homemade Cinnamon Donuts, were so tasty. Guess we can have the little treats, unless we don't eat a dozen and don't make a habit of such things.

This was my oldest daughter enjoying the sugar that was all over the Cinnamon Donuts.

My real weakness was the Rocky road Fudge. Thank goodness it is only once a year but sure was good.

Sweets aren't my problem but that sure looks good. I doubt I would have passed on it. One donut does not ruin a week. Sometimes it can make the day. Lew Report Inappropriate Comment

A Very Interesting Last Week

Sunday, July 01, 2012

Last week we had a very busy week at our California State Convention, for the American Legion Auxiliary. It was very enjoyable, for all those that attending. We did get in lots of exercise walking. I was very privileged to be able to Carry our USA Flag and Our District 6 Flag in the Beginning Ceremony of Colors. If you have ever wanted to be in a great organization that helps our Veterans, Check out your local area for a Unit for women and Post for men in the American Legion. If you need any info. on how to become a member, you can check on the internet at the various website. We love to help the Veteran. I like their saying:
" In the Spirit of Service Not Self for Veterans, God and County"

I joined the Legion because of the nice things they do for others such as children, other house bound veterans and widows. they are a noble group and I'm humbled to belong to ones who fought so hard for us!!!! Report Inappropriate Comment

Nature Maybe Alive in Your Own Back Yard ! !

Nature Maybe Alive in Your Own Back Yard !
I love it when the Pool is warmed from the solar panels and I can just jump in the nice warm water so there is just a small jolt to my body system, then I float on my back and look at the deep blue sky, watching a few crows or other birds fly by.

My daughter loves to get in the water, and start working out. Some mornings a beautiful set of red brown dragonfly come and swoop down then fly circles around her head, as well as a smaller black winged dragonfly with white trim somewhat smaller than the other. They remain there and sit on some of the plants surrounding the pool for probably half an hour. They look at her and we laugh as they dart overhead up high and then back to the same plant on the same stem that they had been sitting on. Nature is fun to see even in our own back yard.

Thanks for all your post. It was fun to hear from you. I know I love it to, Nancy. Probably because we were gone all last week. Such fun to dive to the bottom, although I find my lungs can't stay down as long as when I was younger. Healthy14real- You are so very lucky to see them out in the country, bet you never know what will show up next. I'm not to keen on the snakes though. saw a huge one in Texas when visiting my great uncle when I was a kid. He had a chicken farm and the snake was getting his eggs from the chickens. I remember that was really weird seeing all those eggs inside the snake, like big rounds things, must have had about 10 eggs inside it. funny how some things you see when a kid you still remember when you get old. We live in a housing development , where there are drains for street water to drain, and have seen a mom raccoon with 2 young ones, that came up from the drain at night time, then they walked around for a short time and went back down the drain.. Haven't seen them any more Sugarshocker, I bet you see lots of wild things out in the wood there in Pa. Sounds like a great place. Report Inappropriate Comment

We don't have a pool but live in the country so have all sorts of nature on our property. I was walking in the garden a couple days ago and almost stepped on a frog; then saw the biggest beetle I've ever seen a few minutes later. We have had deer, turkey, squirrels, chipmunks, raccoons, possums, a couple snakes and a skunk or two pass through. We have even had a huge black bear pass through. We have countless birds that visit too. Report Inappropriate Comment
