Getting warmer....

Ahhh this is the weather I've been waiting for. You wake up in the morning and go outside and it's perfect! Not too cold, just right, and warms up later in the day! Perfect! Now if it would just stay this way all the time that'd be nice! But no...it's going to get awfully hot this summer! Wish the pool was open, I'd be tempted to lay out. haha.

Felt good running outside this morning with my workout and playing some tennis ball with Bud! Work was work, kept busy which makes the day go faster, and that is nice! Our presentation went so good last night, and people having questions today. So glad to help!

Well missing Conner a lot but he had an amazing opportunity today! He got to suit up for a Oakland A's spring training game! He got in during the 9th inning and played second base, helping out getting a double play, and then even came up to bat and hit out to first base. Wow what a cool thing! I know Conner your sick of hearing it, but it's pretty neat for us fans! :) Love you!

Well wish tomorrow was Friday, but at least it's Thursday! Weekend get here already!

Relief

Well today is about to come to a close, and have been quite busy these past couple of days at work with a speaker we brought it. But all turned out great! She shared some amazing information with others about health/fitness/nutrition! I hope she inspired others, cause she sure did inspire me! To live a healthy and joyfull life! Put the effort in & you'll get so much in return!

This morning Buddy and I went running on our usual path we take. I have to tug on him sometimes to get away from crud on the ground or something, a usual task. But today I tugged and his collar came off. Not only came off, I go to put it back on and it was broken! Ahh, and come to find out, I'm the fartest I could possibly be on the path we usually run, and I have to carry him home! All 24 pounds of him! So I guess I got my workout in doing that! haha, funny story, so back up collar back home.

So what amazing weather we are having, except stubborn Kansas wind! But 80's tomorrow! ahhh love that! Spring is in the air! Literally, I guess allergies are bad around here, I'm lucky not to have that problem right now! So go take in some fresh air! :)

Ahhhh sun!

Well got up nice and early to be in the gym by 5 a.m. Way too early if you ask me but made it through. Taught a wonderful spin class that woke me up nicely! I was done and leaving and it was still dark outside! HA. So went home sat down a bit and discovered I was tired again. So took a nice nap at 7 a.m. haha! Woke up and got around for work and had lunch about 9:30 a.m.! haha once again! Getting up that early just throws everything off! Then back off to work for afternoon.
Ahh the sun came out today and was warm and felt GREAT! Let's hope that it stays out now! Love how the days are getting longer! And it's beautiful sleeping weather, not too cold, not to hot, just right! Buddy likes too! ;)
Well early morning so early to bed. What a moon tonight too! A nice BIG full moon! So pretty! God's wonderful gifts he gives to us!

Where did the weekend go?!

I'm ready for next weekend and to go visit home! Enough said!

Tired and have to get up at 4:30 a.m. to go teach spin class at work! A morning nap sounds great already with Buddy! So cuttin it short tonight!

The sun will be out tomorrow, so don't frown it's Monday...embrace it! :)

Picture Perfect

Tonight I was going to put up a picture on my blog cause I didn't really have much to say. But then I started lookin at all my past pictures from this last year and realized how much has happened and gone on. Just so many blessings and good memories all caught on film. Pictures are awesome! I use to always have my camera with me and take tons and tons of pics, but I have been slacking lately. So I need to start doing that again! Buddy has been my main focal point lately but I will try to explore more! A picture is worth a thousand words! So SMILE and take a pic! :)

Champs!

Congrats to the ESU Lady Basketball team as they became National Champions tonight! What an amazing achievement and boy did that team have Faith! They always talked about that! In the semi finals game they were down by 18 points with 8 minutes to go and they did not give up! They had hope and faith in their team and came back and won!! They sure did believe tonight and had rewarding results! Watched the game at Bruffs with some girlfriends and just an awesome atmosphere!

I always wanted to win something BIG like that. Some kind of a championship in any sport or anything! Never did win State in high school or anything like that. Were Regional champs in tennis in high school and regional champs here at ESU in tennis. But I wanted the big RING! Ha! I want I want I want, but I did not need! God gave me the amazing opportunities to play many sports with many teammates and learn many things! I always had such an amazing time growing up! I'm so grateful and thankful for that!

TGIF! Oh thank gosh!!! So glad it's the weekend and tomorrow don't really have anything I have to do, which is a change for once. The next couple of days after tomorrow will be quite busy! So I really hope it doesn't rain Saturday!!!

Temple

"Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, Who is in you, Whom you have received from God? So use every part of your body to give glory back to God." 1 Corinthians 6:19-20

Our bodies are our temples and we must take care of ourselves! There's so many things we can do, with first off exercising and eating right. I grew up being active, I can't really remember not being up and doing something. I was lucky that my parents kept me involved in whatever activities that I wanted and supported me so much along the way. Also that I followed my older brothers footsteps and wanted to be like him and athletic. Except I can school him now in everything ;)

Exercise means so much to me in more than ways than one. It's part of my career and what I want to be involved in. I love working in the gym and teaching classes and helping others reach their fitness goals. I personally love the feeling of exercising! That high you can get after you are done and accomplished something! The way your body can be so sore after a hard days work, sweating buckets during a workout, seeing improvements in strength, and so much more!

And you can't have exercise without eating right! Your body needs fuel and that fuel being food! Think about it as a car, you don't want to put bad fuel or diesel in your unleaded car do you?! You want it to run right! Same with our bodies, you want to feed it healthy nutritous foods to give it the most energy! The better we eat, the better we feel.

I must admit it has been a lot easier to eat right with Conner being gone, sorry hun. But I just don't allow for the temptations in my apartment, or go out to eat very often. I can choose what I want each day. So I've been eating better these past 2 weeks and its amazing how better I feel already. Cutting out sugars makes the world of difference! And eating more fruits and vegetables are so mmm mmm good!

So just remember this, there's lots of ways you can take care of your body, exercising, eating right, being careful of our actions each day, making smart decisions, buckling up when we drive, wearing sunscreen, yada yada yada. It's up to you! Your body is a temple!
