Yesterday I went to the doctor for my yearly physical. My blood pressure was high, my cholesterol was high, I’d gained some weight, and I didn’t feel so hot.

My doctor said eating right doesn’t have to be complicated and it would solve my physical problems. He said just think in colors... fill your plate with bright colors.. greens, yellows, reds, etc.

I went right home and ate an entire bowl of .......






And sure enough, I felt better immediately. I never knew eating right could be so easy

Giggles, thank you for that Friday pick me up. Seriously My Late Father-(of Irish Ancestry) diet: Meat, Potatoes, Bread and Butter, Beer, no Tomato Sauce or Pasta, nor Rice or Tofu could never understand nor consume any of the Items on My Mother’s-(of Japanese Ancestry) diet: Fish, Rice, Tofu and Vegetables but putting it into perspective - My Mother’s diet was better for your health. I could eat from both but I do not eat enough vegetables./Just Asking - seoul62......

Good Morning Amy and All!
I have been AWOL for a week here. Just stopping in to say hello. We have granddaughter and daughter coming nightly to stay after treatment at UCLA Center. I am hardly having time to take a deep breath these days.

Because she also has autism, it is creating a problem in treatment...
Grandma is tired but still alive!!

Waving HELLO’s ......

Lol, Amy, and I Love M & M's, too! (And Reeces, which I just had for Dessert!)

Last Year, I had Borderline High Blood Pressure, and when I Lost a Few Pounds, the Pressure Came Down to a Normal Range. I Love my Sweets, though, but have been Eating More Fruits and Vegs for Many Months to Crowd Out the Sugar. A Plate of Fresh Strawberries with a Lot of Splenda on Top is One of my Favorite Things to Eat Now.

Best Wishes, Dear Amy, and I Hope your Pressure and Cholesterol Come Down.
