I don’t want to be a Greedy Grandma…
A few weeks ago, my 5-year-old and I was doing our morning routine of getting ready for the day. She looks at me and said, “Nonna you’re turning into a Greedy Grandma.” I had to catch my composure, What the ?!? is a Greedy Grandma? So, I smiled and asked her, Christal what exactly is a Greedy Grandma? She replied you know!!! Look at your hair and body as she motioned towards my body, All of This!!! Ouch, as I laughed with her thinking within, I don’t want to turn into a Greedy Grandma.
Thinking about what I can do that will stop and reverse what she has identified in motion. What she had done was put a spotlight on truth, my struggle the past few years with lack of energy, weight gain, stiffness, aches, insomnia, and many other changes, which I won’t name. However, I’m sure many of you can name some similar aches and pains as well as can relate. Staying healthy and weight loss for women over the age of 50 can be difficult.
On this Journey of Rediscovering the Gift Called “ME” I need to commit and stick to a lifestyle change of taking care of my body from the inside out. Here are my 7 steps I’m committing and disciplining myself to see the process through as I am reprioritizing my focus, not to become a Greedy Grandma. Nothing new, but a fresh outlook, perspective, and commitment…
How to Not Be a Greedy Grandma
- Affirmation: I am not and will not become a “Greedy Grandma”
- Exercise: Walking and Stretching 5 Days a Week
- Water: I will not drink less than 60ozs per day
- Healthy Eating Choices: 5 Days a week
- SWAG: Daily
- Mindfulness Techniques: Practice Daily
- Bedtime: Disconnect Weekdays by 9 pm to 5 am from all electronics
