I am cooking again! I had my sister Sandra and cousin Maxine over for dinner on Saturday and my brother from another mother, Ian and his lady friend Gina, on Sunday. I even baked a banana bread and made sorrel (a drink brewed from dried hibiscus). I made enough of everything for them to have take out containers for dinner the next day.
This is huge. I cooked AND baked AND brewed with NO backache. In between all of this, I did laundry, washed windows, vacuumed, dusted and cleaned. No backache! Energy level on high! The old old Heather, of many years ago, is back! Hallejuah!
It's not that I haven't been cooking, because I have, but just for myself, once or twice per week. I bring lunch to work, but since I eat such small portions, I freeze most of it. Cooking for others bring me joy and I am happy that I can once again.
In the first photo below, notice the light beaming through my side. That is called a waistline! You probably can't see it, but the flabs in my upper back are disappearing.
Time for Akinny jeans
