Just remember that whatever goal you set for yourself IS achievable.  This was from the BCA 5K July 27, 2013.  I told my daughter that I was hoping to at least finish with a time of 33:00.  Well my daughter had other plans for me and she knew I could get a better time.  Well with her help, my chip time was

                                                                                                                                I guess the point is, Eddie never gave up.  Even if he missed a basket, he kept trying and trying until he made it.  Sometimes we don't reach our goals and get discouraged, but keep trying. Be like Eddie and don't give up.                                                          

Fourth of July

 Have a fun and safe Fourth of July

I hope everyone is having a safe and fun summer so far.  Even on those rainy days, you can still get moving inside your house:
*  If you have stairs, you can do lunges, step-ups, or just go up them and skip every other one.
*  Grab a couple of soup cans and do some bicep curls, work your tri-ceps
*  Put a chair behind you and get a good squat workout



       
Keep working out and keep working towards your goal

So Easy To Make :)

Once again, former pastry-chef turned web designer and fellow food blogger Megan Keatley of Health-Bent has put together something sweetly satisfying for you guys just in time for Valentine’s Day. Thank you, Megan, for the recipe!
If your idea of a sweet treat always includes chocolate, these Grain-Free Mudslide Fudge Cookies are for you. With a texture similar to macaroons, but filled with ooey gooey chocolate goodness, these grain-free cookies will melt in your mouth and delight your palette.
Thankfully, the recipe is as simple as it is delicious. 5 ingredients. Less than 5 minutes of prep time. No special kitchen equipment or cooking techniques required.

Grain-Free Mudslide Fudge Cookies

The Players

• 2/3 c cocoa powder (where to find organic raw cacao powder)
• 1/3 c egg whites (roughly 2 or 3)
• 1/4 c honey (where to find raw honey)
• 1/4 c dark chocolate chips, chopped (where to find organic, fair-trade, non-gmo chocolate chips)
• 1/2 t vanilla extract (where to find organic vanilla extract)

The How-To
Preheat your oven to 350F.
Whisk all ingredients together and portion the batter out onto a silicone or parchment lined cookie sheet. Make sure to leave enough room between the cookies, as they will spread out a tad.
Bake for 8-10 minutes until the cookies are set and the tops are glossy. You don’t want to over bake these, as the edges will get crispy and a little bitter, so keep your eyes on them.
Let cool until warm, then dig in! (Of course, you can let them cool completely, but where’s the ooey gooey goodness in that?) This recipe yields 12 delectable Grain-Free Mudslide Fudge Cookies.
ENJOY!
