One Thing – Week 2

Last week, I decided to blog once a week on Sundays.  

Yay, I made it to the second week.

So this week my new one thing is tracking the iron in my diet.

Did you know that women up to the age of 50 need 18mg a day? To put this in perspective 3 oz of red meat is only 3.5 mg. Are you getting enough iron?

Also, did you know that iron adsorption is enhanced with Vitamin C. Spinach contains iron and vitamin C, so you can see Popeye was on to something. “I’m strong to the finish ‘cause I eat me spinach…”

As usual here are some extra things.

  1. My favourite book to share this week is Story Sparkers: A Creativity Guide for Children’s Writers. Of all the writing books I own, this one is the most practical and takes your through the entire writing process with a book published by the authors – Frankenstein Doesn’t Plant Petunias.
  2. This week I learned that the actor who played the fiancé Rudy in 16 Candles is the same actor who played the custodian in Breakfast Club. This tidbit came from the book – John Hughes: A Life in Films.
  3. Hubby suggested a sandwich pickle in a hot dog. And you know what? It’s great! I “relish” the flavour combination.

What’s your one thing?

On to your success this week!
