Let's Get Moving!

Amy is doing better and has been moved out of ICU, thank you for your prayers. I hope and pray she makes a speedy recovery.

 

Jon commented on my last post the importance of exercise, which is so true! I’ll admit it’s not something I’ve consistently implemented but I’m much more motivated now than before.  I encourage everyone to “get moving”…walking, hiking or anything you enjoy.

 

I know it sounds kinda silly but I’ve had great success in the past rebounding (mini-trampoline). I’d watch music videos while working out…it was low impact with high results.

 

 

Work finally picked up so I don’t have quite as much time on my hands during the day but I wanted to share a few recipes we’ve enjoyed.
