Find a fitness buddy~

I am consistent at the gym and a few times a week I am out power walking, running and stair climbing. Never to old for fitness.

My favorite Man joins me on my walks when he can.

Moms give the best hugs~

My precious Momma in her younger days.

I miss you deeply. I feel you around me and truly believe you are watching over me. It warms my heart to look at your photos and talk to you. Today I know you are enjoying your strawberry sundae that you just loved. It makes me happy to know you and Dad are together now. Thank-you for being a special Mom.

Happy Birthday Mommy.

I love you so much~ Your baby girl.

Deep down you know you can do it~

It makes me happy that I get up and show up at the gym faithfully.

The best way to end my week. Have a wonderful day and thank-you for visiting my blog today.

Two little boys, ages 8 and 10, are excessively mischievous. They are always getting into trouble and their parents know if any mischief occurs in their town, the two boys are probably involved.

The boys’ mother heard that a preacher in town had been successful in disciplining children, so she asked if he  would speak with her boys. The preacher agreed, but he asked to see them individually.

The mother sent the 8 year old in the morning, with the older boy to see the preacher in the afternoon.

The preacher, a huge man with a deep booming voice, sat the younger boy down and asked him sternly, “Do you know where God is, son?”

The boy’s mouth dropped open, but he made no response, sitting there wide-eyed with his mouth hanging open.

So the preacher repeated the question in an even sterner tone, “Where is God?!

Again, the boy made no attempt to answer.

The preacher raised his voice even more and shook his finger in the boy’s face and bellowed, “WHERE IS GOD?!”

The boy screamed & bolted from the room, ran directly home & dove into his closet, slamming the door behind him.When his older brother found him in the closet, he asked, “What happened?”

The younger brother, gasping for breath, replied, “We are in BIG trouble this time!”

“GOD is missing, and they think WE did it!”

Laughter is good for the Soul~

I hope this made you smile. Another email shared with me from my sister-in-law. Thanks Jude.

Beautiful Cherub given to me by my son and daughter-in-law for Mother’s Day. The smaller Cherub was one I had bought and I thought they look so beautiful together. Thank-you to my grown kidlets. I love you.

Be an inspiration~

What a better way to start my gym workout! My daughter is not always able to make it to the gym as she does work full time. She worked it out this morning that she could come and join me, and then she is off for a hike after work.

It warms my heart to share gym workouts with my girl. I love you.

Thank-you for reading my blog and hopefully I can inspire you to start a fitness program, even if it is just going for a short walk. Start slow and a step at a time, you will be amazed on how great you will feel.

We can all be an inspiration~

Walk for your Health~

A photo taken last summer. My Hubby and I had gone to the Othello Tunnels in Hope, British Columbia, Canada. Very beautiful all through these tunnels.

I know many of you know how I love my fitness. My husband is not able to join me often, as he is not retired just yet. It is a treat to get out for a walk or a hike together. My Hubby is not a runner, and says he will leave that for me. Silly guy.

I did get some stair climbing done this morning and a 2 mile Run. I tell my husband that it does not matter what he does as long as he is walking or other activities he is doing good for his body as he ages.

I am determined to try my best to keep us baby boomers as healthy as I can.

I hope you were able to do some kind of fitness today.

Discover Your Strengths

I like to challenge myself when I am at the gym, as there is no need for me to compete against anyone but myself.

This morning I thought my challenge would be on the upright bike.

I programmed hill climbing on Level 10, for 45 minutes.

When I was done I had biked 19.42 miles. A whole lot of sweating and feel good endorphins for a Monday morning that sounds good to me.

I am a proud Baby Boomer.
