Because You Asked for It

Warmest of greetings to everyone, both near and far, both those of you I know in person, in real life, as well as to those of you I know only from a distance as pen pals.  I am thankful that you are here today, reading my blog!

Today's topic is how I lost the weight this time around.  So many of you, members from my gym, have been asking me how did I do it?  Everyone keeps asking me how did I lose the weight?

So, I decided I would make a video, a longer presentation for them, to go into more detail of exactly my story this past year.  It connects to past years also, and I really wanted to express completely my story.  At the gym, we only get, I only get, to share in "bits-and-pieces" of my story, and the recipient, or the listener, does not really get to hear my full story.  I am hoping that my video presentation will answer your question of how I did it, and also, spur you to do it yourself, if that is your goal.

I am actually not feeling too great right now, as I type this.  I am a tiny bit under the weather, and though I had no fever, and no body aches, I have had other minor mild symptoms of a common cold and have just been resting all day!  Right now, I am really bored from resting, so I thought I would briefly write you a quick introduction to my bio coming out soon (when I have more energy and not feeling under).  I do want to share with the world how I lost the 20-25 pounds this past year in 2023.

So, stay tuned.  My story is coming soon.

Oh, yes I gave up the sugar, and the carbs and  changed my eating.  But, I want to share more of what was going on and how I progressed through different stages or parts of my journey.  So, I hope to write more later on it, with a video and all.

Until then, happy holidays to you and yours!  And, feel free to scroll through some of my past blogs here, for more recent details on things I've been doing food-related, as well as links to my You Tube Plate by Zumba videos are there (used trademarks under license and law).  Take care and be well.  Signing out!

8 Tips for "Good Health"

  Originally, I wanted to write "52 tips for your health" or something to that effect, and now we're in the 3rd week already of 2024! So, I thought I'd write a little about my life, what's been going on (briefly), and start with 8 tips.  8 tips seems more doable, more achievable than 52 tips. Well, right now I am watching this documentary on social media (You Tube) about the sugar in our diets.  And, watching it spurred me on to at least get writing this blog today.  ("How Sugar is Making Us Sick" by Endevr channel, citing source).  Of course, this ties in to Plate by Zumba also, as we have a learning module dedicated to the addictive properties of foods, including sugar. I was getting ready to join a Revelation Wellness Plus Sugar Fast in January for 21 days, but around the time it was starting I developed cold and allergy symptoms, a little bit stronger and more unusual for me so i decided to opt out of doing the sugar fast this time around.  But, I am...
