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.
He and I agree that making these monthly goals together and posting our results here for you to see helps us to improve our health. 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 actually reverse the signs of aging!
Chris’s goal last month was to get back to the healthy eating patterns that have become his normal diet since working on these goals for the last couple of years. That means less carbs, fried and greasy foods and maybe a little less sugar.
For my part, I agreed to go to the gym twice a week since my seasonal exercises were out-of-season. Chris wanted to talk me into more, but I’m going to agree to more for next month’s goal. Lol!
In the Winter, the colors of the natural world we live in become cloudy, with stark black and brown branches covered in glistening silvery white snow. It’s not the most colorful season. That lack of color tends to cause melancholy (or the blues, which tinge the cold season in a wide range of hues). Blue tends to also a give us a calm and peaceful feeling, so it definitely has it’s upside. As the daylight shines through the clouds, there are other subtle colors of the rainbow that can shine through the ice, especially at dawn and dusk. So there is a lot of beauty in the colors of Winter.
There used to be articles showing what to wear in your 20’s, 30’s and 40’s. Then I saw articles showing what to wear in your 20’s, 30’s, 40’s and 50’s. Then, once in awhile, I began to see a couple of articles showing what to wear in your 20’s, 30’s, 40’s, 50’s and beyond. When I was in my 50’s, though, I didn’t necessarily want to wear what was shown for my age category. For instance, I like a more laid-back, bohemian look than “a suit or fitted blazer.” Now, tell me, do you want to be told what to wear in your 60’s?
You can google articles that tell you all sorts of things that you cannot wear in your 60’s, and some things that you can…mostly, there are lists of what you cannot wear anymore. I’m sorry, I disagree. I have found that age doesn’t matter.
Jeans are a basic classic item that goes with anything. Age doesn’t matter. I consider a pair of jeans to be essential to every wardrobe! But finding the perfect-fitting pair is the hard part. Here is some guidance to help you find the right jeans for you. Following are the most popular brands and fits, as well as a few things I have discovered during my own individual search for the best jeans.
It’s never too late to improve your diet. Age doesn’t matter. Better health habits can turn back the clock and reverse the aging process!
I’ve always believed in eating clean, good food for my own health, my family’s health and the health of our planet. I became a vegetarian at 18 because I couldn’t imagine killing an animal myself, so I decided not to pay anyone to kill them for me. Right away, I started adding protein powder to my diet, just to be sure I had enough. I believe Hippocrates was right when he said, “Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.”
