Do You Eat Breakfast?

Posted on 05/22/2013 by PositiveBoomer

I have heard many times the importance of starting my day with a nutritious breakfast. I am sharing my breakfast that I have been enjoying so much. My daughter always says it is so good to eat oatmeal as “it sticks to her ribs”. It keeps us full longer and of course so delicious.

I use Quaker Oatmeal and I find by pouring the boiling water in my bowl and adding the seeds it only takes a few minutes and it is ready to eat after I put in a variety of fruits. I have used strawberries as well.

My Breakfast~

1/4 cup oatmeal

1/2 cup boiling water

1 tsp. chia seeds

1 tsp. sesame seeds

1 tsp. hemp hearts

2 tsp. ground flax seeds

ginger root

banana, orange

almond milk

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.

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.

A Goal To Reach

“The tragedy in life doesn’t lie in not reaching your goal. The tragedy lies in having no goal to reach.”

Deep down you know you can do it~

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

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~

Fitness At Any Age

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.

Challenges

“Challenges make you discover things about yourself that you never really knew. They’re what make the instrument stretch—what makes you go beyond the norm.” ~Cicely Tyson

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.
