“Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food”

A new year is the perfect time to move out of your comfort zone and try new recipes and ingredients…NEW HEALTHY ALTERNATIVES!

I have been trying to eat a more “plant based” diet the last few weeks. Not ALL plant based, just MORE. I have been struggling with a few issues, most likely age related. I thought possibly eating more “green” and less “animal” even though I enjoy meat would help. I love food! All kinds of food! Here are a few things, along with the various soups, I have been enjoying…

Yum! There are just so many fun and delicious things to make.

I was awake super early this morning, actually I didn’t sleep much. Today I went for a CT scan. My doctor and I have tried a few different things for this “reoccurring dizzy” that I seem to get, so we both figured it was time to test further…pray the results come back good! I have to say I was a wee bit nervous going in the scan even though I have used a tanning bed before ( a few people said it’s kinda like that) But I didn’t think it was at all like that. In fact because I only needed my head scanned, my whole body didn’t go in and it was very quick. In and out and finished and a quick walk home ( the hospital is practically in my backyard) before my actual appointment time. Now to wait for the results…

And… I also went for my very first “full body massage” today. Sure I’ve had my legs and feet done, also neck and shoulders, but I have never taken the time or booked an “official” appointment for a massage. It’s usually something I decide on a whim when we are vacationing. My son and daughter in law LOVE their regular massage appointments and convinced me that I need to add that to part of my “health care” The problem is…if I enjoy it too much, I don’t know if my husband will be able to afford all the appointments? haha

And as I imagined…it was lovely!!!

Ahh…

Well, that was my day. This year I need to concentrate on me ( just a bit) get some things changed ( fixed) that need changing! This is part of that commitment!

I hope you’re having a great day! What do you do to look after yourself so you’re healthy?
