This is a diary of the healthy lifestyle goals that my son, Chris, and I are making together each month. Since it takes 21-30 days to develop a new habit, making a goal for the month ahead is an effective strategy.
The buddy system is one of the main ways to get motivated. I’ve always found that if I say out loud to someone what I plan on doing, I’m more likely to do it. Because if I say I will, I feel responsible to follow through.
Age doesn’t matter. It’s never too late. You can always make progress and even reverse the signs of aging!
Last month, Chris’s goal was to try to meditate. My goal was to try out the Map My Walk app by Under Armour in conjunction with My Fitness Pal app. Here’s how we did: Continue Reading

Color Series, Things You Don't Know About Me
For a limited time, Custom Swimwear by Exelnt Design through Your True Self Blog is offering $10 off when you buy a swimsuit using discount code YTS10 in store or online.
My friend, Mary, sends me letters in the mail from time to time. After a recent visit, she sent a note with a $10 off coupon for Custom Swimwear by Exelnt Design. She wrote:
“Enclosed is a card from the people who made my beloved swimsuit. Very likely you already know about them but if not I am pleased to highly recommend them. I never wear out my swimsuit unfortunately so I don’t need another one…but it gives better strategic fig leaf coverage that store-bought swimsuits often don’t. People who would like styled suits with desired coverage will like these suits.”
As you can see from this note, age doesn’t matter. If you need or want coverage in a swimsuit, this place will deliver it. I’ve never done business with this company, but based on Mary’s note I thought it would be nice to share this with you, my readers. 🙂
I discovered that you can buy one of these swimsuits ready-made in-store or online; or you can order one in the style, fit and fabric of your choosing. They make the swimsuits right in the store. They are made to lift, pad, tuck and please your particular sense of style. They offer free fittings. Continue Reading
