Morning Exercise

 Emoticon - Wink Good Morning!!! I’ve learned from a buddy here that morning exercise is better for you! It gets the metabolism going early in the day and keeps it going.  Remember any exercise is good…anytime of the day, but morning is the best…YIPPEE!! I’m learning new everyday….this is good.

Yesterday afternoon I picked up my daughter at work (she works in dietary in a nursing home) and picked up my sweet grandson Talan from daycare.  We went out for dinner, celebrated Angelas 26th birthday which is actually today, went to Meijers and then I came home.  Exhausted!!! but we had fun. She continues to lose weight and is looking beautiful.  She always has, but losing the weight is good for  her.

Ready for the letter?  Its a long one…LOL..so get ready?? set??

Alphabet Soup for the Soul

Letter P:  Priorities: Strive to know what is truly important in life and you will have few regrets.  In 1988, actress Diane Venora shocked her agent and friends when she announced she was quitting show business.  At the time she had just been voted best supporting actress by the prestigious New York Film Critics Circle and had signed a three-picture, million-dollar deal.  The first was to be shot on location in Paris.  However, her daughter, Madzia, then 8 years old, refused to go with her mother for the shooting.  Madzia, who is partially deaf from a degenerative nerve condition, was subject to panic attacks.  In order to help her daughter, Venora quit acting and took a local teaching job paying thousands less then she earned as an actress.  Venora remained home with her daughter for five years.  As Madzia’s emotional problems eased, Venora was able to resume her acting career.

Do we all have our priorities in order?  Hmmm, something to think about isn’t it.  But remember we must take care of ourselves in order to take care of those around us.  I’m learning this lesson, and its been a tough lesson to learn.  Hugs all around buddys…Have a safe…healthy…happy day ok?

    Love the alphabet, as always… :)

    I agree with the morning exercise routine. It just pumps me up for my day. One tiny suggestion… So that your body won’t think you are in starvation mode (from not eating since the night before) and hang onto the fat because of it, try drinking a little juice just before you exercise… not a whole glass or anything, just 1 or 2 ounces will do the trick. This tells your body that you are NOT in starvation mode, and then it will kick that metabolism into HIGH gear when you exercise.

    Huggggggggggggggggs,

    I too am starting to see that the AM workouts are the best, because somehow you also want to continue making good choices.

    Thank you for prioroties today. So often I feel exhausted feeling like I am just not doing enough or keeping up. Right on. Needed to read this.

    Hugs sweet Jane *hugs*

    I agree with Jenn and Butter. Jenn about making good choices when you’ve put in the exercise time and Butter about eating before you exercise. Your body needs fuel to get you through the workout. I’ve heard people suggesting everything from juice to yoghurt. I eat breakfast first and then workout.

    Great letter and it’s so true that some of us breeze through life without a thought of others. It’s a sad state of affairs. Thanks for reminding us about what’s important in life.

    They say morning workouts are the best but I just can’t do it. Not a morning person at all. Thanks for the letters!
