A Beautiful Morning

What a beautiful morning for a walk. The air is crisp, clean, and fresh. I really have a spring in my step today as I go out to walk. It is not yet daylight; just dawn I would say and I have chosen to walk along the paths on the outskirts of the woods. It is quiet, peaceful. It's like I'm having a "walking meditation". See http://www.plumvillage.org for Thich Nhat Hanh. So many thoughts and ideas running through my head; the creative juices are flowing. I came across a cluster of pretty fuchsia berries, don't know what they are and I didn't bring the camera; I wasn't expecting to take photos, but wish I had as this is when I usually miss good photo opportunities.
There's a little brook, the stream of clear water gently flowing towards the deeper woods. Deeper, yes, deeper into the woods, into myself. I open up to the world, and it is freeing. I am not afraid, I do not fear, because today is a gift that we receive. A gift to be enjoyed, and I plan to enjoy it today!

I tried some new snacks in this months box, so get ready for some chocolate! ~dutch cocoa sun-crunch These are cocoa flavored sunflower and sesame seed clusters. Medium strength taste wise on the chocolate, but I love the saltiness of the sun-crunch itself. 6 grams of protein per serving; that's pretty good too! ~dark cocoa almonds~ If you like dark chocolate, you'll love these! 4 grams of protein on these per serving. ~dark chocolate berry trail mix Out of the other trail mixes that I've tried from Naturebox , this one is my favorite. It's a good mix of dried fruits and nuts, including cranberries and cherries, cashews and pistachios, plus tiny chips of dark chocolate that gives it that flavor punch. 4 grams of protein ~flax fortune coins~ Taste just like flattened fortune cookies with the added benefit of flax seeds. Flax seeds are full of omega-3's, and are said to be good for helping reduce your risk of heart disease, cancer, stroke, and diabetes...

Post July 4th workout and update

Image
I took off a week from running since my legs were hurting everyday, all day. So it was a bit challenging to start back up this week. I'm so greatful for the cooler mornings that we've been having. Today: 1.77 miles Weight: let's not talk about it; I'm on a see-saw right now. Eating fairly well. Staying away from sweets. Bought a new swimsuit yesterday, so can start swimming when it is too hot to run or walk. Not your traditional swimwear; I wanted something to exercise and do laps in. It's more for cross-training. More to come..... To read my previous post. go here .
