Nice to see you!

Three major events occurred for me last year (2010), all in the space of about 2 weeks. I turned 50. The following day I got married. Two weeks later, my oldest daughter became pregnant with her first child and my first grandchild.

Most middle-aged people will tell you that in their minds, they still feel 20 something. It's the same for me.

Wasn't it only yesterday that I was planning a night out with guys from the surf club? That gorgeous new perm. Flaired, cuffed denims and the red t-shirt with the off-the-shoulder frill. Corked platform wedgies. **sigh**

Suddenly I'm looking in the mirror and wondering how 30 years can flash by so damned quickly!

So here I am in cyberspace, sharing my genuine shock and horror with anyone who'll listen and maybe I'll even meet some other over 50s who find themselves in the same predicament!

Welcome to my dilemna!!

Lost Mojo

These are today’s efforts ...



Not happy Jan.

I need to clear my head before I paint, so I think that tomorrow, I’ll meditate first and see how that changes my mindset.

I wasn’t feeling the best this afternoon so I came to bed (where I still am) and watched a couple of Netflix movies, then a couple of health documentaries, I took some notes on information that I’ll include in my health challenge/workshop and made some firm decisions about my own health, diet and lifestyle.

Adoring Husband and I are on the same page so we’re going to work together and get our health back on track.

As you could probably tell, after seven weeks, I gave up on the plant based diet. While it took away that horrible lump, pain and discomfort in my stomach, I had trouble sleeping, had my old joint pain return in my knees, hips, back and even sciatica which I haven’t had since 2013.

Of all the types of eating I’ve tried over the years, Paleo (when sticking to it strictly), has had the most profound effect on my body, joints, digestion, weight, clarity of thought, energy, sleep and motivation.

I want all of that back again.

Now that Spring is here, I want the spring back in my step!

That’s my Monday. Disappointments and epiphanies!

Nite all.
