Clients, our home sewer system was backed up due to roots outside and flooded the basement and main level bathrooms. We are having it all fixed and demolished today and tomorrow all day, hopeful that part of the gym will be useable Monday but I will keep you posted.

Enjoy! 🤣

Dear Diary,
For my birthday this year, my husband purchased a week of personal training at the local health club.
Although I am still in great shape since being a high school football cheerleader 43 years ago, I decided it would be a good idea to go ahead and give it a try.
I called the club and made my reservations with a personal trainer named Christo, who identified himself as a 26-year-old aerobics instructor and model for athletic clothing and swim wear.
Friends seemed pleased with my enthusiasm to get started! The club encouraged me to keep a diary to chart my progress.

MONDAY:
Started my day at 6:00 a.m. Tough to get out of bed, but found it was well worth it when I arrived at the health club to find Christo waiting for me. He is something of a Greek god-- with blond hair, dancing eyes, and a dazzling white smile. Woo Hoo!!
Christo gave me a tour and showed me the machines... I enjoyed watching the skillful way in which he conducted his aerobics class after my workout today. Very inspiring!
Christo was encouraging as I did my sit-ups, although my gut was already aching from holding it in the whole time he was around. This is going to be a FANTASTIC week!!
________________________________
TUESDAY:
I drank a whole pot of coffee, but I finally made it out the door. Christo made me lie on my back and push a heavy iron bar into the air then he put weights on it! My legs were a little wobbly on the treadmill, but I made the full mile. His rewarding smile made it all worthwhile. I feel GREAT! It's a whole new life for me.
_______________________________
WEDNESDAY:
The only way I can brush my teeth is by laying the toothbrush on the counter and moving my mouth back and forth over it. I believe I have a hernia in both pectorals. Driving was OK as long as I didn't try to steer or stop. I parked on top of a GEO in the club parking lot.
Christo was impatient with me, insisting that my screams bothered other club members.. His voice is a little too perky for that early in the morning and when he scolds, he gets this nasally whine that is VERY annoying.
My chest hurt when I got on the treadmill, so Christo put me on the stair monster. Why would anyone invent a machine to simulate an activity rendered obsolete by elevators? Christo told me it would help me get in shape and enjoy life. He said some other crap too.
_______________________________
THURSDAY:
Butt head was waiting for me with his vampire-like teeth exposed as his thin, cruel lips were pulled back in a full snarl. I couldn't help being a half an hour late-- it took me that long to tie my shoes.
He took me to work out with dumbbells. When he was not looking, I ran and hid in the restroom. He sent some skinny witch to find me.
Then, as punishment, he put me on the rowing machine-- which I sank.
_________________________________
FRIDAY:
I hate that jackass Christo more than any human being has ever hated any other human being in the history of the world. Stupid, skinny, anemic, anorexic, little aerobic instructor. If there was a part of my body I could move without unbearable pain, I would beat him with it.
Christo wanted me to work on my triceps. I don't have any triceps! And if you don't want dents in the floor, don't hand me the darn barbells or anything that weighs more than a sandwich.
The treadmill flung me off and I landed on a health and nutrition teacher. Why couldn't it have been someone softer, like the drama coach or the choir director?
________________________________
SATURDAY:
Satan left a message on my answering machine in his grating, shrilly voice wondering why I did not show up today. Just hearing his voice made me want to smash the machine with my planner; however, I lacked the strength to even use the TV remote and ended up catching eleven straight hours of the Weather Channel..
________________________________
SUNDAY:
I'm having the Church van pick me up for services today so I can go and thank GOD that this week is over. I will also pray that next year my husband will choose a gift for me that is fun-- like a root canal or a hysterectomy. I still say if God had wanted me to bend over, he would have sprinkled the floor with diamonds!!!

YES!

We tend to think disease happens suddenly. It doesn’t.

Chronic disease is the slow accumulation of inflammation, insulin resistance, nutrient deficiencies, toxin exposure, poor sleep, and chronic stress.

Day after day. Year after year. Until one day, it shows up with a name.

But the same is true in the other direction.

Health is also built gradually. Every meal, every step, every night of sleep, every choice to care for your body shifts your biology.

That’s why it’s so important to start now.

Start with your diet. Cut out ultra-processed foods that drive inflammation and metabolic dysfunction.

Focus on whole, real food, high-quality protein, healthy fats, and plants rich in fiber and phytonutrients.

Stabilize your blood sugar.
Build muscle.
Prioritize sleep.
Reduce your toxic load.
Create space for movement, connection, and recovery.

Small shifts, done consistently, change everything.

Choose wisely.

Crock-pot Burrito Bowls. Everyone loved these and you can top with whatever you want. Warm, filling and nutritious. I didn’t add corn, but the recipe is in the comments.

Loaded Mexican chicken salad bowls with homemade honey lime vinaigrette. Soooo good and filling! Look at all those colors and nutrients.

Veggie and lentil soup with fresh Parmesan.

Mexican bowls with quinoa, black beans, pico de gallo and avocado.

Chicken teriyaki bowls with roasted veggies and my boyfriend’s homemade yum yum sauce…the bottled stuff is nasty compared to this!

Seriously one of my favorite soups made recently. I LOVE soup: one bowl, loaded with protein, vegetables, broth, warmth and wonderful spices. How could it be better?

High protein shepherds pie soup.
