ZOE, YUKA, and a Step Counter
My new doctor recommended an app for the smart phone called YUKA which rates various foods (and some cosmetics). It tells you what the ingredients are and for the most part, tells you why it gave that product the rating that it did. For example, it might say that it is too processed so it got a low rating, or that it has too much sodium added to it but that it's still got some good stuff so it got a medium rating.

Brrrr....season change. Ugh.
Where I live, there are abrupt season changes. Some years we get no Springtime to speak of and some years (like this one) Autumn is elusive shifting from summer to winter without much in between, which would be called Autumn if it were there. This year I am already cold. Indoors. I am already dressing in layers trying to stay warm. I have broken out the long pants and leggings. I have reintroduced the thick, fuzzy socks. I have terminated the use of sandals and gone to sho
