In the beginning...

January was the beginning...going healthy.

I remember walking into a health food store, shopping up and down

the isles leaving with only a few things... then calling my daughter crying "I can't do this, I just don't know how."

What did all that stuff mean anyway?

She took me the next time

and

2   1/2 months later...I CAN and DO... this!

Hope you don't mind if I share with you as this new lifestyle unfolds.

I meet with  Dr. Yeh in Calif.

He's 75 chinese and has a wonderful practice.

He seems 50 and has no pain.

His wife Pearl 59, youthful

so amazing.

He has put me on the Eastern food pyramid

Beans,nuts, grains, fresh fruits/vegetables, organic beef and fish,

no dairy,only natural sugars.

system, regulates cholestrol and blood pressure.

We are building a healthy strong immune system.

2 things we must do in life...

2 things in life we have to do...
(are we not taught that in school?)

                         taxes
                    and dying...

Today we did our taxes... ugh!
( takes all the fun out of owning a business )

Finished up our two days of dismantling a room & complete garage of collections from a good friend who recently passed away, he was 89. It was his "man caves" where he enjoyed collecting and fixing up all day long.

Mixed emotions...as we packed away his lifetime collections.

 Missed him alot, and also enjoyed thinking of him as I wondered about each piece, it's history. Enjoyed all of it.

He was a collector and a seller like us, kindred spirits in this life. We miss you Terry and will make sure your collections go to new homes to be enjoyed again...reclaimed.

Now tonight the blizzard...we just went from 60 degrees yesterday to 20 degrees...going under the covers now.


Talk about heaven and hell...
of course I mean taxes and blizzards are hell!

Have hope. be strong

Still at it...I mean,eating healthy.

Mr. Roses doesn't miss stopping at the store anymore each night on his way home from work...he usually bought french bread, farrs burnt almond fudge ice cream, cheese, lays

chips, cases of Diet dr. pepper for me, fruit milk, stuff for potato salad.

since Jan. we have both lost 15 lbs.

He did start later than I, but you know

how men lose much faster.

No measuring or counting, just

eating healthy and eliminating alot

and not going hungry.

It's not about the weight.

its about eating healthy.

Organic grass feed beef from wholefoods

hamburgers 95% lean

flavorful.

And now I do most of the shopping. dang!

(and alot of cooking. dang again!

A white onion a day is healthy

these are cooked in olive oil/chopped garlic

Fresh avacado slices

Organic wheat buns fill you up

and taste good.

Haven't missed white flour/white pasta

AT ALL, besides where is the nutrition?

Don't need to eat the whole bag

when eating healthy either.

Food should taste good

sweet potato chips.

3 types of vegan handmade cookies

from wholefoods, so good.

Good thoughts for comfort

and comforting.

and I dont know how this got here! lol!
