Swimming and Walking on a Thurday! Great way to wind down!

Exercise girl

Hello Family and Friends!
  1. Physical Health - Today I did a combo exercise, I went swimming. Afterwards, we took Gold on a walk to the water. After all the rain that we have had this week, it was very nice to be outdoors for a good hour and 20 minutes. Expect for the gnats. Eww! The water at Deering Bay was so flat today, it looked like a mirror. Beautiful! The pool was really nice when we were swimming because of the reflection. Look for some posts about bike riding coming soon. I got a new Mongoose bike today. It is silver and purple. I am very excited I was using my brothers from time to time now. It was way too big for me. I got one my size now! :) To let my readers know how I feel after yesterdays core exercises, my muscles were burning! That is a good thing. I felt it every time that I got up from chair at work today. I kept thinking: "Feel that burn!!". LOL
  2. Mental Health - I am still reading from "You on a Diet". They have a "dessert" of 2 sliced peaches, 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon, pinch of nutmeg, 1/4 cup fresh raspberries, 1/4 cup blueberries, and 1 1/2 tsp mini semisweet chocolate chips. You just mix it up and enjoy. For each serving - there are 46 calories, 0.4g of fat, 2.6 g fiber, 11.5 g carbs, 8.9 g sugar, and 1 g protein. How fresh and delicious does that sound for the summer? I am going to try that soon. I might even put it over a little of nonfat plain yogurt. Yummy!
  3. Emotional Health - I was most happy swimming and walking today. So refreshing and a great way to unwind on a Thursday!
The "I am getting healthy" girl that I found today to post is hilarious. I am posting it because that is what I am trying to do - become more balanced with my all over health. :)

For my "Mental Health" portion, I am noticing that if I post about what I am reading, I am more inclined to actually read. "Mental Health" is the area that I have been slacking. Please let me know if you like my comments about what I am reading versus just saying that I read for 30 minutes. :)

Good Night! Is everyone ready for Friday? I am!

Love,

Lulu

It seems like you are more excited about reading health and wellness books rather than Sheep's Clothing.

I'm glad to see you are motivated and keeping the momentum... healthwise physically, spiritually and mentally.

How about some reading material on spirituality???

Enjoy the weekend. See ya tonight;)

I agree with Misfit Debutant -- perhaps reading a book like SHEEP'S CLOTHING could be an additional read, rather than the 30 minutes you're using for the purposes of pleasure.

Keep up the great work! I miss your blog (although, maybe I could write my own today).

I miss you, da best sis! LOVE YOU!!!!!!
