Thank you...

I want to thank you all for the overwhelming support that you have given me in my quest to accomplish my blog goal, of more than 1000 page views, for my psychology class!! The semester has come to an end and well, this blog may be over for now. However, I have some big plans for the future.  Stay tuned...

Bingo!

Homegrown tomatoes from my mom's garden here in Lake Havasu City, AZ. These tomatoes are not like our grocery store tomatoes. These are the real deal! We are just lucky enough to live near family members with green thumbs.

As the semester comes to a close...

I tried very hard to stay caught up all semester, thank goodness.  Now as the semester comes to a close and I have only 2 weeks to go, I am trying to balance it all.  Only 2 more finals, and term paper (that is almost done) and some loose ends to tie up.   Thank goodness summer is coming and my load will be lighter. And this blog only needs 215 more page views.

No pain...no gain...

Weight training is beneficial for women! Mix it up, variety is key! Make YouTube your friend and find some fun exercises, or even better join an awesome group that will keep you motivated. Exercising with friends will not only build muscle, but it will also build strong friendships.

Jump!!

Shout out to my fit camp girls at JLK Fitness, this morning we jumped 1000 jumps with these ropes. Jump rope for awesome cardio benefits.

Set no limits

This is a reminder for myself. Push yourself every day to set records, surpass goals, and accomplish the impossible. You will thank yourself someday.

Some comfort "healthy" dinner

Tonight I was in a bind, pressed for time, so I had some left over grilled chicken, some brown rice, some red pepper and a little crumbled bleu cheese. I made a salad out of it and the blended flavors went well together.

Friends and Family

We just spent the past weekend 350 miles away from home, and worth every mile.  We were able to visit our newest grandbaby, our son and his girls, my dear old friend of 25 years and my childhood best friend that I have known for the past 40 years.  All of these people have a special place in my heart.  Remember no matter how far apart, visiting those people we love are worth every mile.

Bike ride on the beach today.

Reflecting on life and all of the positive moments in mine while we are here in southern California. We are visiting with family, and seeing the newest addition.

Happiness is a peaceful sunset glow

Happiness is homegrown fresh greens

Work Hard

Strive to be your best... work hard, keep a POSITIVE attitude and the benefits will come

On this Good Friday...

Drink a big glass of water for these benefits

Sweating may seem like a gross topic but it is good for your body to sweat.  Sweating boosts your endorphins, detoxes your body, lowers your risk of kidney stones, prevents colds and illnesses, and cleans your pores. So, whether it be cleaning house or running a mile, get up and sweat.
