Adding Blending to Your Health Routine
[disclosure] Happy Humpday, everyone! It’s the middle of the week and here in Houston, winter is definitely gone! Yay! I have started my exercise regimen again. Since it’s nice, I have been walking in the mornings. Since my daughter rides the school bus in the morning, I don’t want to be too far away. I end up walking in circles until she is gone. She thinks it’s funny – I think it’s ridiculous. Oh well, school is almost out. Yesterday, we talked about grit. Grit applies today as well – as something you DON’T want in your smoothie. Isn’t it disappointing when you make your smoothie and take a…

What Is Grit? Does It Matter?
Originally published May 2018/ Updated June 2021 Happy Thursday, everyone! I hope you have plans for a happy weekend and good start to the week. We didn’t do much this weekend as most of the kids’ spring extracurricular activities are over. My son is preparing for his finals and AP tests. My daughter doesn’t have tutoring again until the start of next school year. So, I had time to sit and try to get organized again. It’s what I do…organize. One day I will be happy with my system… Today’s topic is GRIT (part 1). What is that you ask? That movie with John Wayne (who’s that?) Jeff Bridges (who’s…

It’s Finally Spring Week Day 5: Hiking It’s the end of It’s Finally Spring Week. Have you been enjoying your freebies this week! Yesterday’s post was a little different than my typically Friday posts – it looked at several ways to get in a workout but not a specific fitness discipline. However, today’s post goes back to form: a deeper look into an exercise that would be suitable for beginners. It just happens to be one of the forms of exercise mentioned yesterday – one that works well with the spring theme. Hiking! Spring is a great time of hiking: the weather is nicer, and the trees and flowers…

Spring Week: Day 4 — Getting Your Family Outside
It’s Finally Spring Week Day 4: Getting Your Family Active Outside Did you enjoy your day off? I did (except for the blood draw)! I used it to get a little rest and to get better organized. There’s always more to do! During the Spring, it’s a great time not only to restart your healthy lifestyle, but to take advantage of the outdoors. You should include your family in these opportunities as well. Depending on where you live, the weather is finally starting to warm up, which means you can do some outdoor family activities that will keep everyone active. Here are a few to try during the…

Spring Week: Spring Break
It’s Thursday– It’s an abbreviated spring break! No, just kidding. For those of you who are new to my blog, I usually don’t post on Thursdays. Thursday has turned into the day that I have to get my blood drawn as my doctors are continuing to tweak my anti-rejection med levels. It’s always fun (No. Again, not really!). However, Spring break will be over tomorrow with Day 4 (creative numbering, ya’ll) and a Springy post about taking your family outside to exercise. Day 5 will be on Saturday with a post about a Sport geared for beginners — an outdoor sport of course. I am staying on theme. There will…
