11. I love those boxed and bagged salads in the grocery store.

I hate the idea of making salads by hand.
But the salads come all prepared these days.
All the fixings including the salad dressings.
I also love the big bag of chopped salads.

I add chopped meat to them.

I also love strawberries and watermelon in the summer.
And in the winter I drink a fruit smoothie almost every day.

Which is weird because I am not a fruit and vegetable person at all.
But I found a few things I like and stick with it.

Also I always have meat or fish of some sort in the refrigerator I can snack on.
And I eat those thin sliced pretzel snacks if I am hungry for carbs.

I also stop eating about 6 pm in the evening.

I also walk almost every day. I like getting out in the fresh air and walking
around the neighborhood. At first I just did a short walk, a block or so. Now I do two miles
in less than a half hour. Not bad for someone who has a lot of pins and rods in my legs, ankles and back.

They say sitting is the new smoking and drinking. So I get off my behind once and day and take a walk.
