Meet the 88 year old!


WELCOME TO HEALTHY MONDAYS!

 
My 88 turning 89 year old active and still employed as 
Special Ed Teacher friend taught me the most valuable thing in losing weight. 

What is? Down-to-minimum-SUGAR-intake!

She said in two weeks I’ll lose 10 pounds! 

She also advised me to look at the Nutrition Information at the back of the package. 

Less than 4g is OK but more than that, I need to be wary.

No candies, no dough nuts, no chocolates, no cakes, no ice creams, no cookies, and no to all sweets! 


Her tips: (from her own words – she typed it!)
1. Minimum Salt intake - Salt is deadly.

2. Water - Lots of water, and I hate water.  
My drunken friend of seventy years always tells me that water is deadly!

3. Milk-  at least a quart daily, unless you are allergic.

4. Exercise -  get up from the table! “push the plate away”…. Best exercise!

5.  High protein - my daughter after serious operations needs a 
high protein duty, and put me on it.

Her message:
“Love your neighbor – hate kills you!” – Meadow Lark* (her pseudonym)


She is turning 89 this March, and she is still mentally and physically capable! 

She is healthy, she stands straight, her mind is sharp and yes -she also uses the computer pretty well 
(except for forgotten passwords and what-page-to-go-to and what-to-do-with-this-page issues) 
but nonetheless,  

she is one amazing woman! 

 What do you think?


NAMASTE.


P.S. The Meadow Lark* is looking for a hawk over 90. LOL!

    definitely the secrets to old age. And don't forget a positive disposition towards life. Like someone said, "growing old is inevitable, growing up is optional" ;-)

    I think the tips can be practiced by all ages... for example, I know that salt is very bad and drinking lots of water is very good for everybody... :D

    Wow. Her age and how she is now is the very testimony of how she lived with her healthy tips. I might as well start following these 5 simple tips and will love my neighbors (more)...As usual, this is another great post. Thanks for sharing.

    Hahaha, love love love it! I love her tips! Reminds me of my 87-year old grandma who's turning 88 this Feb. Kudos to your friend for all her sense and sensibilities. I know I'm forgetful at my age so please do extend my advanced birthday greeting for her birthday on March. :D

Outside the Box!

Welcome to WEALTHY TUESDAYS! Money-Matters!   Let’s me face the fact.  The fact is anything can happen.  Everything is possible and possibilities are infinite. Good. Wait! Everything? Is possible? Infinite possibilities? Yes. That’s correct. (It is only our mind that sets limits; try pushing your mind beyond the box!) I learned from seminars I’ve attended in the past that  “If the intention is clear, then the mechanism will appear.” Formula: Intention 100% + Mechanism 0% = Achieved Goal 100% If my intention, (belief, purpose, faith) is clear then the mechanism (activity, action, system) will appear! ~ and that will make me achieve my goal! 100% intention that is ALL IT TAKES! Wow! Then, let me be clear: “I want financial wealth; I want more money, so I could be of more service to people esp. to my family, relatives and friends.” and “I want financial wealth; I want more money, so I could enjoy more of life’s grandeu...

Imbalance

For years, I’ve never had a credit card. A friend literally shouted at me when I looked at the application form. He said, “DON’T YOU DARE APPLY!!!” and so I didn’t. I didn’t even try to mind  what effects they were trying to tell me if I own one.  Come 2007, in the land of milk and honey?!, I was forced to apply for a credit card. “Credit cards are needed to have credit scores”; “It is a must here!”; “Everyone’s got a credit card!”; “No we don’t carry cash, we carry cards”. So I did get one, nope, two, nope, three, nope… OK, to date I have 8 cards!!!!  Yes, I’ve been managing my accounts really well, never had a month without paying, at least the minimum amount. Yes, credit cards made us survive financial turbulence! Yes, credit cards made me say YES, YES, YES!  Since coming here in the land of the free?!, never had we stayed home for long breaks.. we’ve travelled and travelled far to beautiful places, checked in to different hotels, ate, bought, spent… NO budgeting,...

Say IT!

http://www.flickr.com/photos/70285332@N00/3032368925 "Show what you feel in relationships. If you feel like crying, cry your eyes out! When you feel like laughing, laugh your eyes out. Scream when you want to scream. Roll on the floor. Surprise everybody!" "Please don’t wait to communicate your feelings!" This came from Leo Buscaglia 's book Living, Loving and Learning . (click his name to know more about it.) For now, you would have known that I am a fan! Yes, I am! Just Say IT! I hate it when my husband will not talk to me because I did something wrong! I do not know why he needs to pamper the pain!!! I am his exact opposite because I just simply communicate what I feel, well, tactless at times but, I need the communication part, so that when I’m done with it, then it’s done.   Just LET ME KNOW! There are people who are afraid to communicate their feelings to the point that instead of directly telling "what's bugging them" with the particular...
