Welcome Back Everyone!
Summer is officially here! I am in full swing with my exercise routine. Lately, I have been focusing on leg toning and it is starting to pay off a little at a time, but I am being patient because it is a long term approach to muscle retention and strength. I have included in my routine more leg work. Slowly, I am noticing the benefits of toning because I have more stamina.
Family Fitness: The other day our kids played racquet ball and basketball with Dad and Mom. What that meant is twice the workout for the adults. Therefore, it was twice the benefit to our health. Our kids began to explore and develop their own exercise regimen. We were very competitive on the basketball court but the importance of good sportsmanship and not getting upset over who won or lost is a challenge for our boys. My daughter attended a college sports athletic integrity camp for high school students, so her advice to her younger brother about team building and good sportsmanship came in handy as she counseled him on how to work together in team sports and yet have healthy competition. As parents, we teach our kids to compete as best as they can and leave the trash talking and attitude at the door but this time it was better coming from a sibling his own age.
I am shopping more cautiously and wisely. For instance with the high price of food and gas, I am making my food selections with healthy choices that are affordable. I interchange weekly between a high end food market and affordable food markets. This way, I can still eat healthy at a lower cost. Finally, grocery stores are making more affordable store brand foods that can match some of the brand name foods in nutrition value.
Black Pearl Reward of the Week:
Closing one door always open another. Never feel that you have lost or the door of opportunity has been closed on you. It is just another opportunity to be creative enough to dream and do something better.
See you next week! Stay mentally, physically and spiritually healthy.
Mrs. B.
