Spring into Summer: It's National Running Day!!

Well, June has arrived.  Which means (especially if you're down here in Texas) that summer is in full-swing!  What better way to spring into summer than to grab your tennies, and head out for nice little run!  Enjoy the SUN by taking a little joggy-jog through your neighborhood or a local park....OR skip out on the heat by parking it on the T-mill for a good 30 minute trek @ the gym.  Whichever way you choose to celebrate National Running Day, make it the start of a daily HABIT of running/walking/jogging!  You gotta start somewhere right?

Forget Good Friday...It's GREAT Friday!!

Don't let those Easter goodies keep you down...

The true meaning of Easter is something that means the world to me.  However, the CALORIES that hip-hop their way into my belly over Easter weekend are something that mean nothing but ill-fitting jeans and an extra few pounds to shed before swimsuit season.  BLEH.  I think it's safe to say that most of us have some make-up work to do after the goodies that we treated ourselves to last weekend...and every day since!  It's now been a FULL WEEK since Good Friday, so make today a GREAT Friday by doing the following:

• Conquer the Cals!  Toss all, I repeat...ALL...of your leftover Easter junk in the trash...unless of course you are going for some extra junk in the trunk.  ;)
• Prep "dessert" for next week NOW!  Since you will PROBABLY be craving something sweet for the next week or so, go stock up on your fav fresh fruits.  Make a delicious fruit salad, squeeze a lime over the top (this will keep it nice & fresh!), and enjoy THIS as your sweet treat each day next week!
• Get Up & At 'em!! Set your alarm NOW for tomorrow morning.  It's the weekend.  I know this.  Weekends are supposed to be for relaxing and getting refreshed after the long work week right?  Well...WHAT better way to refresh your body than to treat it like the temple it is!  Get up & at 'em first thing tomorrow morning by STARTING your day with a jog through your neighborhood, a trip to the gym, your fav workout video, or a 20 min push-up/squat/lunge routine! Your body will LOVE you, and you'll be more likely to stick to your calorie-burning plan for the remainder of the week (it's a fact!!)

Now get to it.  Swimsuit season is upon us my friends.  Don't you want to ENJOY swimsuit shopping for once?

Happy Earth Day!!

I'm challenging myself to commit to making one small change, sticking with it for a month w/out fail, and then adopting it as a lifestyle (hopefully)!  EVERY little bit counts.

What change(s) can you make to be a better steward of this breath-taking earth God created?
