I thought I would have so much time this summer, but with grandchildren here to visit for 2 weeks and then my sister, niece and great-niece visiting for a week, I have been having lots of fun and staying quite busy.
I am hiking 3 miles every morning and am trying to figure out how to keep that going when school begins again in August. Guess I may just have to start getting up at 4!! I am so enjoying the workout and refuse to give it up. Enjoying the benefits of regular AquaAerobics for all those years made it easier to keep an exercise routine going!
I am still sticking to my heathy eating plan and summer is the best time for smoothies and juicing. Here is my favorite, in case anyone would like to try it. Just let me know what you think of it :)
Green Smoothie -
Put the following into your Vita-Mix or blender:
1 small avocado, peeled of course and without the pit!
1 small lemon, cut into quarters, rind still on
1 unpeeled cucumber
3-4 celery stalks
1/4 bunch of parsley or more
spinach or kale or chard if you have it
1 Tbsp vinegar
1 Tbsp Omega 3-7-9 Oil (or other combo)
1 Tbsp cinnamon
fresh ginger
You can add Maca, Baobab, or Acai powder if you have it
I sometimes include a few chunks of frozen pineapple or berries
1 Tbsp of chia seeds pre-soaked in a small amount of water
Then I sip on it all morning long, saying "yum"!
Enjoy!
