Total Body Fitness

Last night I started "Total Body Toning" Boot Camp at Reid Park. I was so lucky that is was an easy class. Even though it was an easy night it was still a little intense for me. But heck this is why I started this whole mess, to get in shape and push myself! I go to class Monday and Wednesday nights.

B-A-N-A-N-A-S

Bananas are rich in vitamin B6 and they are a good source of fiber, vitamin C, magnesium and potassium. Lack of B6 in a diet can cause weakness, irritability and insomnia. The potassium found in bananas helps to regulate blood pressure and may reduce the risk of high blood pressure and stroke. Potassium is also essential for helping muscles to contract properly during exercise and reduces cramping up. A medium-sized banana provides 400 mg of potassium -11% of daily value- and contains 110 calories and 4 grams of fiber. Bananas also contain plenty of carbohydrates which are the body's main source of energy. They are also easy to digest.
Because of their great taste, they can also serve as a substitute for sweets and satisfy sugar cravings.
Researche also shows that serotonin and norepinephrine in bananas may naturally help sufferers overcome depression. They are the good mood food.
Convenience and nutritional value of bananas make them a good post-exercise snack. During long exercises your body loses vitamins and minerals and a banana replaces these nutrients as well as giving you the energy you need.

SO... It is hard for me to eat this wonderful fruit but i do! Why is it hard for me to eat them you might ask? Well... the texture makes me wanna vomit. They have to be firm or I just can't do. Brown soft bananas are not welcome at my house. EAT EM---!!!

We did IT!!!

We FINALLY went hiking and it was beautiful!!!!

Planting Bouganvillas

Lets just start this off with a couple of facts...

I am a first time home owner,

I use to live in the sticks (meaning dig as you please),

and

If roots are in the way just wack the crap out of them with a shovel.

With those out of the way lets start with my story...

Saturday looked like a beautiful day to do some home improvements. I called my ever faithful cousin, Mindy. I wanted to paint an ugly table set that I have rotting outside, pretty funky. That is why I needed Mindy, her brain is pretty helpful in the funky way! We got some fancy spray paint and found our way to the plant section of home depot. I have always wanted to plant some bougainvilleas in my front yard to add some color. I purchase two bougainvilleas.

When Brian got home I let him know that we had to plant the bougainvilleas I bought. DOOM... We got one one planet and were just about ready to plant the last one... We thought we needed to clear the hole just a little more.... BOMB... HISSSSSS WE HIT A GAS LINE!!!!

The fire department had to come and southwest gas,they worked into the night fixing our VERY costly mistake. We had to be evacuated from the house. I am going to take the firefighters some cookies per my dads promptings but I am going to add a little Lindsey spice to the thank you... In the basket along with the cookies will be GasX pills with a little note saying thank you for helping me with my gas problem!!!!

and she is off...

My little sister and her family have made there way from Oklahoma to Japan. Oh How I will miss her. It is so funny the other night I was looking through my journal. Yes that is right I have a journal... just one and I am 26 years old. I read a couple of entries to Brian. One I read was about how ANNOYING those darn little sisters can be.
But oh do I love those annoying little leaches. Its a funny thing when the roles reverse. I remember just wishing they would just GO AWAY and LEAVE ME ALONE. Now they are both away, far away. It makes me cry and wish for frequent flier miles.
It like that country song...

You're gonna miss this

You're gonna want this back

You're gonna wish these days hadn't gone by so fast
These Are Some Good times

So take a good look around

You may not know it now

But you're gonna miss this

Well thanks Trace Adkins for coming out with this song NOW. I could have used it 22 years ago!!!

My sister, Grandpa and ME! I am SUPER lucky!

Arlee & I!!!
