My medal would be in "Record-Keeping" lately, I think, and "Improving". I'm still not fully up to speed on exercise - better on nutrition but not as ideal as I used to be, only because of adding sweets for no apparent reason (peer pressure!). Drinking water is a fight with my remembering muscle, and at least I usually win. But on all of it, I'm keeping watch with my planner and habit-tracker, telling myself the truth!
Some research on "superfoods" nutrition powders for shakes/smoothie bases has finished up here. Dd43 started it, and first found K'Cha va. She did not care for the price and pretty soon decided it was a gift to me during my recuperation. Also, she didn't like the vanilla flavor (chocolate was fine to her). Then she tried Vita Hustle, giving me one bag to try and keeping one for herself (all chocolate, lol). She is sticking with VH, feeling much better about the price. Even though it has remarkable nutrition, when all of my VH ran out, I opted to purchase the even more nutritious K'Cha va again after all. I only use one scoop of these, not the 2 they recommend, because I put so many other ingredients in to make a full meal of it anyway, so the price doesn't bug me as much. Also, I really wanted to buy the healthiest one because I'm giving half to dd24. She is racing through her days, sometimes has nothing to eat until lunch, so I'm hoping this will help her.
Several in the village have chatted about sleep issues. Ya'll may remember that we go back and forth in my house about having a tv in the bedroom. HRH has some tinnitus (ear ringing), very common, and likes tv in the room. I like a little background noise but not the flashing, changing screen, and HRH says my sound machine doesn't give enough variety of sound to help him. Lately I found youtube long-playing videos of rain falling and that seems to be a compromise for both of us. Favorites have rain with fireplace crackling (not thunder, not crickets) with a somewhat dark screen picture with minimal visual change. HRH laughs that he can awaken worried about all the rainy weather we've been having lately, but he's just kidding, I think.
