The GLITS Gals Dancing at the Club

Destiny's high school graduation 2009

My granddaughter invited her Mom and me to go dancing with her at the club tonight.  I didn't know what I was in for, but I accepted because I love hanging with my girls.  

Now, before you start throwing the first stones of judgement, let me clarify.  We went to a Zumba class at a huge fitness club across town.  Not just a one-hour class, but a two-hour class.  Of course I just had to show my girls that I still had it in me, so I danced the night away with only one water break.  I probably won't be able to crawl out of bed tomorrow, much less do the chores around the house that I had planned.  But know what?  I'm feeling so good tonight!  Lesson learned: There's nothing like keeping our bodies in motion, no matter what our age.  Move at your own pace, but keep on keepin' on.  Remember, the family that moves together, will always groove together.

Now I must turn the computer off and go get a good night's sleep.  

May you have many moving nights and oceans of blessings!

Jacquie says, "Spring Ahead Your Health!"

My daughter, Destiny, keeps me 'beautified'!

As we Spring Ahead this weekend, what a perfect time to Spring Forward with your health! I will talk a lot about Green Smoothies (although at times they may be different colors depending on the fruits & vegetables you use) because I believe they are such a great foundation to good health and a simple step to adding fruits and veggies to your diet.

Why start your day with a green smoothie? Your digestive system is working hard all day digesting all the food you eat, which consumes a lot of energy.  When you wake up in the morning you have a fresh start. You have not put any new food in your body since the evening before, so starting out with fruits veggies, which are clean.  Whole and energizing foods is a smart food choice. Since your blender has broken down all the nutrients into liquid form it is even easier and takes less energy  for your body to digest and distribute the nutrition leaving you feeling more energized! 

This is what was in my Spring Forward Smoothie this morning:
Kale
Collard Greens
Parsley
Cilantro
Beets
Blue Berries
Raspberries
Strawberries
Ginger Root
Banana

Sometimes I have more fruits & veggies; other times I have less,  depending on what is in season & what is in my fridge. By the way, it tastes amazing!

Can anyone guess what color it was? Red?  Yes, you are right. Beets are dominating with their red color.

Until next time, I wish you health and blessings!
