“I want to get old gracefully. I want to have a good posture. I want to be healthy and be an example to my children.” Sting

These are the supplements I take everyday to help my body stay healthy. I am a Type II Diabetic – well controlled on the minimum dose of Metformin. Diet and exercise have helped me keep my blood sugars in the borderline range over the last several years. I am determined to live as long as I can to enjoy my Grandkids and Great Grandkids, and to travel and check off all the items on my bucket list.

Oh my, I’ve got a lot to do in the next 40 years!

“May the Smoothie be with you…Always” Unknown

I’m on a Smoothie kick.

I love coming home from a workout and whipping up a yummy, energy boosting smoothie.

This one is made with delicious Yukon blueberries, delivered by my sister who picked them herself. I threw the fresh blueberries in the blender with non-fat plain greek yogurt, unsweetened almond milk, frozen mango chunks, vanilla whey protein powder, ground flax and hemp hearts. Yummy!

Hippocrates

Yum, Yum . . . Sweet Potato Fries. Actually I had planned on Yam fries, but discovered that these were red skinned sweet potatoes rather than Yams. No bother . . . they were delicious regardless! Drizzled with Olive Oil, and tossed with a bit of Cumin, Paprika and salt . . . then baked for about 20 minutes at 450 degrees. Excellent!
