I live in Richfield, Minnesota, and work in downtown Minneapolis. I have two grown daughters and a granddaughter who calls me "Nona." The Daily Challenge and all the friends I have found on here motivate me to be a better person. I'm ready to retire in 2014. Peace, My Friends!
- Thank you, Ms. Keecha, for the encouragement this morning. I sure need the extra push on this DST.
I like the review of the challenge today. I usually think "orange juice!" when I think of vitamin C, but it is also in red or green bell pepper, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, strawberries, kiwi, cantaloupe, and papaya. It was also nice to hear that a deficiency in vitamin C may deplete your levels of carnitine (a substance that helps your body burn fat for energy) by as much as 50%. So, it's time to push away from the comfort foods and stock up on these yummy fruits and veggies!
Okay, well it's Monday, so let's hit it!-

Thank you Sherree for the encouragement today. Thank you too for teaching me about vitamin C deficiency. I'm going to make sure I'm not deficient. :-)

Nothing better than cantaloupe from the western San Joaquin Valley. I never ate it as a child, and I don't know what I was thinking to pass on that delight. I hope we have the water for it this summer.

- Hey Eileen! We are on our LAST day! Let the points begin!
Thanks to Rhonda and Pat for encouraging me this morning. For the record, I'm not a fan of this time change.
As for the challenge -- already done! Sunday morning is the Sunday paper including crosswords and suduko. I love that time by myself. I do get lots of time to myself, so I can't really call this a "challenge."
Later today, I will sit and watch the snow melt. I am chomping at the bit for Spring."Pledge to spend at least 30 minutes this week doing something that's just for you"

Sounds good! I admire you for doing the suduko. I freeze up when I see them. Have fun watching the snow melt!

- Good morning, DC! Thanks to Keecha for my Saturday morning nudge. Day FOUR, Ms. Eileen.
I just need to expend more energy. Period. I'll have to find a mall or something to walk around in today.
Let's get out there and make the most of this beautiful Saturday!"Find how much energy you burn during 1 type of exercise or everyday activity"

Have a pleasant evening, Sherree! Hope you're able to enjoy some of this "nice" weather we have this weekend! ♥

Gaynor E. replied March 10, 2014 at 10:41 UTC:
I spent hours in the back garden yesterday, and more hours in the front today! I wish it would stay looking decent longer. I'm all worn out.

- I'm floating on a cloud of blessings today -- thanks so much to my pals Lauretta, Keecha, Melanie, Diana, Janet, Vivian, and Kaye for lifting me up!
Eileen and I are already on day THREE!
I am just itching to go for long rambling walks OUTSIDE! Very slowly, we are moving in that direction. Today I have lots to get done in the house, so my walk may be in my house.
I'm doing this this for Lent called "Walk to Jerusalem." We track how much we walk every day and it is calculated and put on a big map at my church. We want to get enough steps to make it to Jerusalem by Easter. If we don't keep up our steps, we might end up in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. It really is hard to get in walking around here.
Enjoy this Friday, ya'll!-

It would be pretty cold in the ocean, particularly at this time of the year. Hope you do enough steps to make it over!
-
- Thank you, Keecha and Debbie for encouraging me today. I feel so loved!
I already do this. I try to keep going all day long, and then I slow way down in the evenings. It's called being old.
Tomorrow I have a day off, so I'll probably sleep in until 7:00 or so. Wheee!"Take a step to get enough sleep tonight: Set an alarm and start to wind down 1 hour before bed"

Haha! I am looking forward to a sleep in until 7. I have had the stonemason here for the steps starting at 6.15 for the last few mornings, which has meant that I am getting up Much Earlier Than Usual. He will be here tomorrow, too. The stone steps are looking good!

- Good morning, DC!
I'm on Day ONE of a pact with Eileen. Let's go get 'em, Eileen!
I fully intend to eat a yogurt and a banana for lunch today -- and I'll throw some nuts in for good measure. So, I did this challenge without batting an eye!
Fun fact: (Apologies to Gaynor) In New Zealand, trail mix is called scroggin, for "sultanas, carob, raisins, orange peel, grains, glucose, imagination, and nuts.""Eat 1 high-energy snack today, such as apple and cheese, or yogurt with fruit and nuts"

Sherree, did you get all that :white stuff" again last night? We had about 10 inches! Thanks for the encouragment today! Hugs ♥

Gaynor E. replied March 7, 2014 at 11:43 UTC:
Hoot! I never knew how scroggin got its name. I had never even heard of it before I saw it on an episode of Kath and Kim. (Kath loves it.)
