Ok never mind, I'll just keep my blog here since I've already got mom's bookmark tab set up for this one, and I don't feel like remaking all those gadgets. :-)

So for those of you who have already reached and passed this milestone and still remember it --- did anyone have the blues shortly after the high? That's where I'm at right now. According to CNN, all major organ systems in the body start to decline after 30, and I'll start losing muscle mass. I think I'm even detecting vertical ridges in my fingernails!
I bought a book called "How Not To Be A Little Old Lady" and was horrified to see that I am already do several of the things they say to avoid! Aaack!

I honestly believe we are only as old as we feel. Physically, half of it is just taking good care of yourself. I've seen twenty year olds who look forty, and forty year olds who look twenty. As far as behavior goes, there are no rules. I think Cameron will always act like a mischevious little boy, even when he's 90- but that's what makes it fun. That stuff about our organs aging is creepy, though. I bet this might be the best decade of your life so far- and you've just begun! That's exciting!

Cayman Brac Dive day 1

We all made it safely to the island called Cayman Brac for the Dive Frendzee takeover! I have been delighted with everything since arriving! It is blissfully remote and I feel quite content to never leave the resort compound to venture anywhere else.  It is like we are at the end of the world in a wonderful day!  The food...oh my the food! (I have officially turned in my Mom)!  It is all buffet but GOOD buffet!  Rolls, soups, multiple salads, cheese board, multiple hot side dishes, and then two or three entries, one always carved with a sauce.  Last night was ham. Oh, and dessert! 3 different choices last night: coconut flan, carrot cake, and chocolate walnut pie. This place offers Valet style diving, so in the morning, we were to have our gear outside our door in bags they provide, and they pick everything Iup and take it over to the dive boats and they set everything up! Valet diving, Princess diving, whatever you want to call it.... I am loving it! After that, it was time for b

30 day sugar challenge

Image
Ok, my goal is to restrict myself to 6 tsp or 25 grams of sugar per day as recommended by health organizations who study these things.  I haven't tracked my eating for a while but a I am sure I am way over that! I watched a movie called Sugar Coated and it had inspired me, as well as all my friends giving up things for Lent.  Since I have a marathon on Sunday, I will not be able to be quite as strict on race day but will give this a whirl. I started by going through my cupboards and was stunned by all the things that contained sugar!! My vitamins, calcium, taco seasoning... it feels like I am down to salt, pepper, oil, and dish soap!! I need to research whether that 25 grams is added sugar, separate from the naturally occurring sugar in fruits, or it that is all forms of sugar. That would be much harder!!
