by Lorna Martinez Magill As we age, it's important to stay active and engaged in social activities. Not only does it keep the mind and body active, but it also provides an opportunity to connect with others and build meaningful relationships. I personally love social activities and find many ways to engage with my friends to help maintain and foster my relationships. Yes, it takes effort,...
By Marianne Clyde We have to normalize some of the things that can potentially come with aging. I tried not to pay any attention to the fact that it was getting harder and harder for me to hear. Particularly in a crowded restaurant where there was a lot of "din" in the background. But then, my 3 year old grandson started turning to me when I talked and said, "Hm. What?" I mean, he did it...
By Marianne Clyde Aging has little gifts all along the way. Yes, there's the sudden weight gain that I didn't expect. But there are other things as well. My eyes for example. I got lasik surgery on my eyes along with my husband for our 10th wedding anniversary. (Yes, I know: romantic right?) That was over 25 years ago. Things were going along just fine until about age 55. We were living as...
By Marianne Clyde Part 2 from “House of Mirrors” blog Life Transitions can be nerve-wracking and crazy-making if you let them. So don’t let them do that to you. The list of life transitions that a woman experiences after 50 is long. Here are some of the most common: Empty Nest Syndrome Retirement Menopause Caring for Aging Parents Widowhood or Divorce Health Challenges Relocation Becoming a...
By Lisa St. Ledger So, you’ve patiently waited months for an all-important doctor’s visit. How can you make the most of that valuable face to face time with your physician? After all, those precious moments can have a huge impact on your health. In those few minutes, your doctor has to diagnose your condition and create a treatment plan for you. That diagnosis can sometimes make the...
We all know what we need to do to lose weight. Eat less, exercise, drink more water, sleep enough, and eat “real” food. Yes, there are other areas that we can consider such as number of calories consumed, tracking macros and protein intake to name a few, but the bottom line is eat less food, eat food that is good for you, get your tush off the couch, and drink water. So why is it so hard? I am...
I have FINALLY decided to get serious about my weight loss. I gained 20 pounds since COVID, and I just can’t seem to get back to a healthy weight. At Isn’t She Amazing, we focus on taking the first step to implement a change or achieve a specific personal outcome, so I started to think, “Lorna you need to be serious about this next step and you need to just take it.” I’ll start with a short...
So, this week started out with an unexpected twist. I was preparing for my week on Sunday night and as I was updating my calendars (now that is an entirely different blog), I decided that I would treat myself to a nice warm cup of tea in preparation for bedtime. I put some water into the tea kettle. Should I mention the tea kettle that I hate? I need to digress for a minute. Years ago, my...
Well, we’ve made it to week two of assessing and adjusting our eating habits. I like this terminology better than dieting since it sounds more life altering. My accountability partner and I are determined to stop the yo yo weight and make this a life change. So, how’s it going up until this point? Let me back track a bit. She and I both had prior success with Weight Watchers, but we don’t have...
I haven’t always been a fan of green smoothies, but I have to tell you, that in the last several years I have learned to love them. Not just for the health benefits but for the taste. They can be really yummy! Of course you have to be careful because you can run up the calories and sugar content pretty quickly. There’s no easier way to get your daily dose of fruits and veggies, or at least get...
