For Topic Tuesday, let's discuss our "whys" -

I can take the week of the 21st.

My big why is because of aging. When I’m not taking care of myself I get stiff and brittle and wobbly and feel old. I also get stressed when I can’t catch my breath going up hills.

Not having control over food has been a very good thing. For these days at the cottage our host has been preparing everything for us and all I’ve had to do is put food on my plate. And I’ve been very careful to stay away for my problematic foods. This has been such a good break to rest my routines, I fully intend to carry this shift home with me.
