Be FOREVER STRONG!

I can think of many things that are easy,  Smiling, walking, hiking, getting my kids to just stare at the TV. LOL But sitting on the couch for too long and complaining about how I feel or look, can only last so long. Some people feel they don't have time to be healthy. Some people think that healthy eating is too difficult to organize or too expensive. Some people just haven't had the moment yet, where they decide what they really want in life is more important then their negative thoughts regarding the above mentioned. Our thoughts really control us if we allow them to.  It's truly amazing that living on this earth is all about choices.  We have to make choices every day.  Everything we do & say is a choice. WE ARE SO LUCKY (blessed) that way. So, If something seams hard...it's probably because it is and it is worth it. Many great things are worthwhile. Many great things take time. Many great things take effort. But the wonderful part about difficult thi

It's easier then you think.

So Kelsey & I head to Trader Joes today.  We live out in the sticks. So its a good 25 minute on the freeway:(. I'm thinking since she's never been and I just was there a week ago, I'l just pick up some nuts & dried fruit.  Lol. Then spend time showing her around... $88 later & 3 grocery bags full. I have all the yummy things I forgot I needed.  Hummus Feta Dried fruit Roasted almonds Lime chilli cashews!!! Artichoke spread  Turnkey apple bacon brauts  Rice crackers  Olive oil Blue tortilla chips & a ton more.  It's easy to eat healthy.

So, why not spend your $ on nutrient dense, nutritious, healthy & yummy foods. Your body requires vitamins, minerals & antioxidants that are naturally  found in foods that are not processed. Processed & packaged  foods lack all these essential nutrients.  Eating well, eating clean

Back to business!

  Now, the kids are back at school...I'm kinda sad. I truly love hanging with my kids. They keep me young. They keep me laughing. They don't let me take myself too seriously.  Dah, really, what sane 39 yr old jumps off cliffs?  But, dang, what a rush;). So, now my crazy little buddies are at school and I gotta get on a bathroom cleaning schedule...poo;( Now is your time to get on a  regular fitness routine.  It wont happen unless you PLAN!   During vacation I was lucky to be with girlfriends who loved (well mostly) rock climbing, jumping skiing, tubing, surfing, and joining me on early morning runs through sage brush while I spat out orders to do push ups, dips, jump squats & planks in the dirt. I was blessed to have that happen.  Realistically if it's not on your schedule, it usually doesn't happen.  I live by my calender.  If I don't check it daily, I can miss important stuff.  HOLY crap, i missed my massage appointment;( So, If you are maintaining yo
