Mmm... Smoothies

A great way to start or end your day.
The pic says migraine reliever, but it tastes great.
This is one of the first smoothies I made with my magic bullet.
Oh, I did not use ginger.

Next week the post will be longer, I am short on time today.
Have a fantas day.

Word of the Week - Decorate

That's right, decorate. There are several meanings, 
but for this time of year there is only one meaning that 
comes to mind: Christmas decorations.

  1. 1.
    make (something) look more attractive by adding 
    extra items or images to it.
Some people go crazy, but I like simple, yet elegant. 
I am partial to the synonym: embellish.

Tuesday, Learn Something...

It is T- 15 minutes until I start T - 25, excited. 
Getting hydrated as I will not have time to take a 
sip of water once I start.

Learning point: it's okay to fail, get back up and conquer that thing. 
This weight thing has been with me for several years.
Now I am getting rid of this protective layer.
After this, I will counquer my world (epic music playing in
the background).

This week the world is remembering Fmr President Nelson Mandela.
Awesome. His message of reconciliation has resonated around the 
world. We can overcome anything in our world, as a people, if we are willing to 
give up our stubbornness for the greater good. 

Take your rest "Madiba"!

Musing Monday Hmm...

I am gearing up to start T25 tomorrow. 
I am so excited, but then I thought about diet.
You can not out work a bad diet. 
In the past several friends and a family member told me about 
"Forks Over Knives".

I already knew that a plant based diet would be healthier
for us, but I did not know the "why".
Now I have the WHY.
Oh-eM-Geeee, I wish I had known this years ago. 

Please watch it! 

Okay, drama over. I did not go totally over the edge, I chose moderation. 
I still eat meat, but only when I have a taste for it. 
I am finding other sources of protein and eating 15 to 20 grams more grams of
fiber a day already!

I watched it on Netflix, but you can rent it or even better, check it
out from your local library.

Un-Sat Sat

This morning I woke up super early and decide to delete 
and re-arrange apps on my IPad. 

This is my new home screen:

  
The first screen has the apps that I use the most and 
the second screen has catagories with "all the other" apps.

This has simplified one area of my life. 

Please take the time to organize one area of your life today. Take Care!
