Is everyone well, and counting those many blessings?
We are coming into autumn a great time of the year! With all its beautiful colors from the leaves, autumn gives us the signs to prepare now for the upcoming weather. Blustery winds, cold rains, and cloudy days can be easily put some into a depression. Let's not go there! Keep busy! Do your best to be healthy and happy and those feelings will go away with a twinkle of an eye,. Let's share the following messages from a happy and young couple from Texas, (Hanna and Bo).
Hanna says she just adores ice cream and chips. My suggestion to Hanna was to eat frozen yogurt low fat low sugar, and eat no salt chips, not no-added salt chips. Try to only have a serving. The changes we make is never completed over night, it does take time, and sometime quite a while, if I did it you can too. It was great talking with Hanna.
Bo enjoys any meat with sweet barbeque sauce he likes the skin and fat off of certain meats. I understood that Bo and Hanna has some conditions that are against their favorite foods. I told him to talk it over very well with his medical team, and in the same note I advised him the longer you continue to eat n this manner your health will decrease even more in time.
Try making your sauce with a sugar substitute, 1tsp honey to a pint of sauce, some fresh orange juice. The skin and fat on meat s going to be rough to get around try other lean meats and just give up on the fat and skin.
It was great talking with this happy couple full of life. We all as seniors have some gossiping to do, no sense of being shy, if you don't want your name mention along with your sharing that's just fine.
In order to grow in many things sharing is needed. Keep your health leaders in mind when making any changes in your well being.
Halloween and Mystery night is just around the corner
Listen! Put safety above all else. Don't take for granted the things you enjoyed and did long ago on theses days are still happening, they are night. If you just have to give out treats be sure some one is assisting you that is stronger, and alert. This is the time off year when all kinds of bad things has and can happen. Don't know anyone that well that you don't guard your well being. The elderly and very young are targets all year but at this time the devils will come out boldly using (masks, and other tricks).
