    Run?!!?? Say WHAT???

    Run?!!??  Say WHAT??? I was NEVER a runner and would do anything to get out of running!  Running hurt my teeth, it hurt my lungs and quite frankly, I just hated, hated, hated running!  (My dad would always say, “Hate is an awful strong word!” and my younger brother, at a sweet innocent age, said…

    Mmmm Muesli!

    One of my most favorite breakfast cereals is muesli! It’s easy to make, plus it’s delicious and nutritious!  This breakfast cereal is made the night before and ready to go in the morning!  Muesli is well known for its diversity in how you make it.  That means that you can mix it up and enjoy…

    Shake-It-Up!

    Oh, the shelves of supplements, shakes, powders, labels! Oh, the choices, the many, many choices!  … For me, it can feel like a jigsaw puzzle: WHAT, HUH, WHERE, HOW, and “Oh, forget it!” Is your head spinning?  Oh yeah, mine too! Being educated about what you are eating is vital!  And I read labels religiously!  I…

    Just do it!

    Exercise doesn’t require a fancy gym, expensive shoes, clothing with a sport logo on it or anything else.  It just requires doing it.  That’s the only way to get the job done!   The previous owners used this oversized garage to store their horses during the winter.  We’ve converted it into an exercise room (my area),…
