Wednesday July 18th

This morning's bootcamp class rocked!  I am definitely feeling the workouts lately- I'm glad that I decided to step up the intensity of the classes (& my personal effort is much better now that I'm eating right!)  I am so proud of the progress that everyone is making!  


I had a protein shake on the way home from the gym, and then had 2 eggs with avocado for breakfast.  And black coffee!  All of the plants & the garden are happy & watered- it's going to be another really hot day.  It sounds like the rest of the week is going to be above 100 degrees this week.  I'm praying for rain, as I'm sure many local farmer's are.  They said on the news this morning that this is the worst drought in the past 50 years.  Yikes.  That doesn't lead to good things for our local food, crops, animals, and not to mention the economic effects that it will have...


FAITH:
I'm on day two of the "Experiencing God's Renewal" reading plan.  Today the devotional talked about the heart.  Not only is it the key to physical life, but also to our spiritual life.  The Bible says to guard our hearts.  


Proverbs 4:23
Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it




And this is one of my favorite verses-

FAMILY:


Pat has a hard job.  It's physically exhausting, and that just wears you down!  I went to help at one of his jobs yesterday, and although I wasn't much help (LOL!) I was out there in the sun & the heat.  It was hard work, and I had the easy job!  Although I have a physical job, at least we have fans in the gym to keep air circulating.  He was up in the air, in the sun, building a deck.  (and baking in the sunshine!)  The homeowner has been awesome and has been taking care of the guys- which is awesome!  She brings them water, snacks, & popsicles!  So remember to take care of those that are out there working in the elements.  At the very least, tell them "THANK YOU!" (think of the building industry, parks workers, etc.)


"Thanks, babe, for your hard work!  Your clients appreciate it, and so do I!  I love you!"- From me to my hubby :)




FITNESS:


I already mentioned our awesome workout this morning- seriously, I'm beaming with pride in my clients!  And last night was a good one also!  I'm really trying to push my fitness level.  My goals are to get toned & to be happy with my body!  I definitely put in the gym time, and I'm really working on cleaning up my diet.  I'm doing pretty well, so I'm excited to see the changes!


And you know that I love fruit- well, the watermelon right now is sweet & AWESOME!!!  Here is a 'watermelon pie' LOL :)

I have new personal training clients starting up soon, and that always gets me pumped up!  They are each so different and have different goals, so it keeps it challenging for me!  I can't wait to see them progress!!


I'll try to post some new recipes soon!  Have a great Wednesday everyone :)
